Stand Together Lyrics
I don't see things quite the same as I used to
As I live my life I've got just me to be true to
And when I find that I don't know about
Just what to do
I turn and look within to see what I should do
Now I'm not sure what it takes to be hip
A lot of people making music that to be ain't shit
So I ask creation
For rhymes for this jam
Gimme lickle solo and I'll take the mic stand
Love vibe
As the earth spins into brand new day
I see the light on the horizon's not fading away
Gonna shine from within like a bright white sun
No need to hide and no place to run
Got the vibrations of the music
Bringing light to your mind
So you can move and groove
And feel the beat of the time
Sense the power in the air as it starts to move
You get a real good feeling that you just can't lose
Contemplation time, intuition time
Evolution time, resolution time
Free your mind it's time for good times
And let yourself move it's a time to shine
Spread your wings in the sky, feelin' good inside
Breaking fool with no need to hide
I got the music cuttin' through me
Takin' control of my soul
I can't hold back I've got to let go
Stand together people come together now
It's about time we've got to get together
Stand together people come together now
It's about time we've got to get together
Stand together people come together now
It's about time we've got to get together y'all
As I live my life I've got just me to be true to
And when I find that I don't know about
Just what to do
I turn and look within to see what I should do
Now I'm not sure what it takes to be hip
A lot of people making music that to be ain't shit
So I ask creation
For rhymes for this jam
Gimme lickle solo and I'll take the mic stand
I see the light on the horizon's not fading away
Gonna shine from within like a bright white sun
No need to hide and no place to run
Got the vibrations of the music
Bringing light to your mind
So you can move and groove
And feel the beat of the time
Sense the power in the air as it starts to move
You get a real good feeling that you just can't lose
Evolution time, resolution time
And let yourself move it's a time to shine
Spread your wings in the sky, feelin' good inside
Breaking fool with no need to hide
I got the music cuttin' through me
Takin' control of my soul
I can't hold back I've got to let go
It's about time we've got to get together
Stand together people come together now
It's about time we've got to get together
Stand together people come together now
It's about time we've got to get together y'all

When Check Your Head first came out, this was one of my favorite songs on the record. The lyrics are so positive, and the sound's hard-hitting. Yauch's vocals on this reminded me a bit of Disco Dave from Paul's Boutique.
That's funny! I agree with the previous post. This song sounds similar to a song in the B-Boy Bouillibaisse medley at the end of Paul's Boutique. I also used to call it Disco Dave. But since that post the Beasties re-released Paul's Boutique with B-Boy Bouillibaisse broken up into separate tracks. It was actually called A Year And A Day & has a sample of Who's That Lady by The Isley Brothers. Stand Together has a similar guitar riff. Not sure if it is sampled or original, but the lyrics are structured a lot like A Year And A Day. The creaky door soundbite is just bad ass. Certainly an underrated song from Check Your Head. It's all Yauch until the very end of the song. With all the great stuff on this album, Stand Together gets lost in the shuffle a little because there's only one Beastie in it.
