Stand Your Ground Lyrics
Hold your head up high
Cuz tomorrow you may die
There's no one safe around here
No one safe around here
Stand your ground
Til you're the last one in town
Someone that you trust turned out to be a tricker
Smoking cigarettes getting stoned on liquor
Getting really dizzy, only getting sicker
Small problem now only seem bigger
Now America's a safe place if you wanna leave it
The rhetoric is there if you're gonna read it
And the huddled masses, the machine to feed it
The rich look down to the rabble to bleed it
Oddly enough it gets tough when you're runnin'
So you brush off the homeless when they start comin'
And LA and Broadway are wicked when they're watchin'
And your back up man, your back up man, your back up ain't workin'
Okay, well, this is the city of Los Angeles and it never sleeps. It may look like it, but it doesn't. It lives and breathes nocturnally. So when you got no place to sleep at night, and you're huddled and cold, this song goes out to the city's forgotten. Hey, Tim, take it home...
There's an underlying reason why she can't keep it goin'
In the middle of the night they found her frozen
And the Wal Mart sign just keeps on glowin'
And the winds of change keep on blowin'
Cuz tomorrow you may die
There's no one safe around here
No one safe around here
Stand your ground
Til you're the last one in town
Smoking cigarettes getting stoned on liquor
Getting really dizzy, only getting sicker
Small problem now only seem bigger
The rhetoric is there if you're gonna read it
And the huddled masses, the machine to feed it
The rich look down to the rabble to bleed it
So you brush off the homeless when they start comin'
And LA and Broadway are wicked when they're watchin'
And your back up man, your back up man, your back up ain't workin'
In the middle of the night they found her frozen
And the Wal Mart sign just keeps on glowin'
And the winds of change keep on blowin'

One of the greatest lines...
this song is obviously about the homeless people. and how even though the sun shines hot most of the time los angeles can be so fucken cold(INDESTRUCTABLE)

"la crew" not Los angelos crew the Lethbridge, alberta crew busted into my buddys house and started stomping the biggest guy... they ripped him off the chair all my friends but 2 of them (out of like 10) started hitting the wiggers... so i decided hey this is fucking stupid... im here... i masewell help i grab the mic stand behind me and i swing DOWN like an axe crack this guy whos stomping my friend over the head and they all run (all 30 of them right after that) and i see my buddy run into the bathroom and i hear JARED ARE YOU OKAY... some fucker hit him over the head and cut him open now im pissed off cops are comming and im freaking out... 2 days later i hear "DUDE YOU ALMOST PUT HIM IN A FUCKIN COMA, but you gave him stiches and staples atleast" now all you have to do is stand your ground i mean its going to get worse and im sure of that... but aslong as you keep hurting them there eventually going to learn... well if there not stupid...
