[Chorus:]

No you don't stand a chance

For a second in my world

The same old song, it won't last long

If you can't stand behind the music

All the fame, all the girls

And all the money in this world

They don't mean sh-t, better admit

If you can't stand behind the music



So stand up

Show 'em how we do it

Won't back down until I see your, hands up

Tell 'em what the truth is

Stand behind the music



You gotta get behind

Cross your heart, hope to die

Splash a hype, dash a pretty that don't mean I'll buy

Okay alright already, they getting money

All the frauds, all the phonies, all the fakes, slow down

It's a fast pace world, (breathe, breathe)

Look my face in the mirror

Say, "Who the heck am I? "

Look me in the eye

Is this conviction or addiction or a waste of time?



Just name a genre

Yeah I've tried it

Been doin' this from 15 to life, yeah

I need a break already

I gotta find it

And for the first time in my life, I'm doing my sh-t



I, I, I, I wanna stand in this pop star frenzy

Girls getting praise, look at Nicki, look at Katy

Chew it up, make my teeth rot

You think I'm talkin' to ya?

I'm probably not, nah



(Chorus)



R-r-rewind

When I was a little younger

Lookin' for a label and a little clean danger

L.A had a taste for a new adventure

We open every 'do not enter'

Yeah I was tryin' hard to be somebody

Be the cool kid at the party

Lookin' at me laddy daddy, hottie hottie, hot tamale

Stranger sizing up my body

Told me I could be somebody

Wait, someone stopped me, went home and I called my mommy



Oh no, I'm not that girl

I still wanna be the leader of a f-f-free world

Yeah I'm a big dreamer

I'm a believer

Just try to tell me no, I'm a go full steam ahead



No, can't slow me down

I run this town from the inside out

Block by block from the bottom to the top

I know just who I am

And I know just who I'm not



(Chorus)



So stand up, show em how we do it

Won't back down until I see your hands up

Tell 'em what the truth is

Stand behind the music



Yeah, stand up, come on let me see your

Front row up to the nose bleeders

Hands up, if you really need it

Stand behind the music



No you don't stand a chance

For a second in my world

The same old song, it won't last long

If you can't stand behind the music
