Standing In The Storm (Lyrics)

[RSG]

Okay, I did my best. But I thought I would post this. . . And maybe together we could revise it and clean it up some. This is the best I could get.


This town splits right down the middle,
There's rich and poor,
black and white.
Right down to the saints and the sinners
and the ones who ______

This world is tough as a splinter,
there's ones that flinch
and ones that fight.
Around here you can sure tell the difference
between the rocks and the rolling types.

I know I'm gonna stick with yeah,
when the hard times hit.
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm,
In the lightening!
When it poors!
Be strong enough to lean on.
Show you what backbone is for.
Some bodies gotta stand in the storm.
Some bodies gotta stand!




Nobody likes a white flag quitter.
Leaves you there, tucks and runs.
Life is coming and it hits like a hammer.
Kicks like a shotgun!
I ain't out here looking for trouble.
I'm no stranger to an uphill fight.
You need a hand when it all starts slipping,
you can bet I'm going to hold on tight.

You know I'm gonna stick with yeah,
when the hard times hit.
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm,
In the lightening!
When it poors!
Be strong enough to lean on.
Show you what backbone is for.
Some bodies gotta stand in the storm.
Some bodies gotta stand in the storm!



What!

What!
Okay!
Yeah! Yeah Yeah!!

So tough
I keep it rough.
____________
I laugh at these clowns.
Me and my crew we keep it_______

Live yours Boy!

This is my life!

I stick my chest out
so there's no doubt.
I had enough ____________________
As I _____ through the rain,
the pain just rip right through my vein.
But I still maintain.
Ah!
__________________
Insane like Busey!

_____ I'm the best at it.
You just like the rest at it.
I'm sick like a meth addict.

But ain't no intervention.
Just _____apprehension.

Somebody's gotta stand in the storm,
In the lightening!

Be strong enough to lean on.
Show you what a backbone is for.
Some bodies gotta stand in the storm.

Be strong enough to lean on.
Show you what a backbone is for.
Some bodies gotta stand in the storm.
Some bodies gotta stand in the storm.

Song: Stand In the Storm
Written/performed by:Backbone

This stone splits right down the middle
Theres rich and poor, black and white
Right down thru the saints and the sinners
And the ones who might
This world is tough as a splinter
There's ones that flinch and ones that fight
'round here you can sure tell the difference
'tween the rocks and the rolling dice
I know I'm gonna stick with ya when the hard times hit

Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
And ride them 24's
Be strong enough to lean on...
I'll show ya what a backbone's for
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
Somebody's gotta stand ...

Nobody likes a white-flag quitter
Leaves ya there, tucks and runs
Life's coming and it hits like a hammer
Kicks like a shotgun
I aint out here lookin for trouble,
I'm no stranger to an uphill fight
Ya need a hand when it all starts slippin
You can bet I'm gonna hold on tight
Well, ya know I'm gonna stick with ya when the hard times hit

Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
And ride them 24's
Be strong enough to lean on...
I'll show ya what a backbone's for
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm

What What Okay.. yeah yeah yeah yeah
So tough, I keep it rough
Wont back down I laugh at these clowns
Me and my crew, we keep it crunk-tight
Live your what? This is MY life
I stick my chest out so theres no doubt
I had enough, know trust when I must
As I sung thru the rain the pain rushes thru my veins but still I maintain
Take out all my duties, insane like Busey
Now who wants to mess with it...
Now I see I'm the best Daddy,
You just like the rest Daddy,
I'm sick like a MacDaddy,
But aint no intervention,
Just your apprehension and then your dissention
Shots till ya go, sent ya home screamin "no, Backbone!"
That's how we show you what a backbone's for baby...
Let's go!

Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
And ride them 24's
Be strong enough to lean on...
Show ya what a backbone's for
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
And ride them 24's
Be strong enough to lean on...
Show ya what a backbone's for
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
Show ya what a backbone
Show ya what a backbone
Show ya what a backbone's for..

[RSG]

Good thing I didn't make any waigers!

Thanks fer posting!

[Explicit Sinz]

No problem, glad I could be of some help! My daughter and I worked on the lyrics the day Seacrest released the audio, some friends on another site inquired about them.. some spots are still not 100% open to suggestions but fairly confident on about 98%... can't wait til official lyrics come out!

[evil nickname]

This is what it sounds like to me:

This town splits right down the middle
There's rich and poor, black and white
Right down to the saints and the sinners
And the ones who might

This world is tough as a splinter
There's ones that flinch and ones that fight
Round here you can sure tell the difference
'tween the rocks and the rolling tides

I know I'm gonna stick with ya
When the hard times hit

Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
Cue lightning, when it pours
Be strong enough to lean on
I show you what a backbone's for

Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
Somebody's gotta stand

Well, nobody likes a white flag quitter
Leaves you there, talks and runs
Last comin' and it hits like a hammer
Kicks like a shotgun

I ain't out here looking for trouble
I'm no stranger to a uphill fight
You need a hand when it all starts slippin'?
You can bet I'm gonna hold on tight

Well, you know I'm gonna stick with ya
When the hard times hit

Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
Cue lightning, when it pours
Be strong enough to lean on
I show you what a backbone's for

Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm

What?
What?
Okay
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

So rough
I keep it tough
For get down
I laugh with these clowns
Me and my crew, we keep it trunk tight
Live your what?
This is my life
I stick my chest out so there's no doubt
I had enough
No trust when I mus'
Have I sunk through the rain?
The pain rushes through my vein
I still maintain
Take out of my duty
Insane like Busey
Now who want dat [?]
Now see I'm the best daddy
You just like the rest daddy
I'm sick like a [?]
But ain't no intervention
It's your apprehension
And then your dissention
[?]
Send you home
Screaming, no backbone

'Cause I will show you what a backbone's for, baby
Let's go

Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
Cue lightning, when it pours
Be strong enough to lean on
I show you what a backbone's for

Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
Cue lightning, when it pours
Be strong enough to lean on
I show you what a backbone's for

Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm

Show you what a backbone
Show you what a backbone
Show you what a backbone's for

[RSG]

I'm sure he's saying 'Sick like a meth addict'

2 reasons

1, difficult to explain. He's using a simile, to describe his withdrawal and the rushes that come from storms. Almost makes you out of your mind.

2, He says 'but ain't no intervention.' There is no intervention for his symptoms from these storms.

How does that sound, honestly now XD
I never thought I would try and translate hip hop!

[Explicit Sinz]

Posted what I thought... they're all options, but I'll wait for official lyrics .... LOL

[Wario]

This town splits right down the middle
There's rich and poor, black and white
Right down to the saints and the sinners
And the ones who might

This world is tough as a splinter
There's ones that flinch and ones that fight
Round here you can sure tell the difference
'tween the rocks and the rolling tides

I know I'm gonna stick with ya
When the hard times hit

Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
Cue lightning, when it pours
Be strong enough to lean on
I show you what a backbone's for

Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
Somebody's gotta stand

Well, nobody likes a white flag quitter
Leaves you there, TUCKS and runs
LUCK'S comin' and it hits like a hammer
Kicks like a shotgun

I ain't out here looking for trouble
I'm no stranger to a uphill fight
You need a hand when it all starts slippin'?
You can bet I'm gonna hold on tight

Well, you know I'm gonna stick with ya
When the hard times hit

Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
Cue lightning, when it pours
Be strong enough to lean on
I show you what a backbone's for

Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm

What?
What?
Okay
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

So rough
I keep it tough
For get down
I laugh with these clowns
Me and my crew, we keep THE TRUMP tight
LIVE YOUR GOLD-AH
This is my life
I stick my chest out so there's no doubt
I had enough
No trust when I mus'
Have I sunk through the rain?
The pain rushes through my vein
but I still maintain
Take out of my duty
Insane like Busey
[?]
Now see I'm the best daddy
You just like the rest daddy
I'm sick like a METH DADDY
But ain't no intervention
It's your apprehension
And then your dissention
STUCKS WITH-A COMB
Send you home
Screaming, no backbone

'Cause I will show you what a backbone's for, baby
Let's go

Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
Cue lightning, when it pours
Be strong enough to lean on
I show you what a backbone's for

Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
Cue lightning, when it pours
Be strong enough to lean on
I show you what a backbone's for

Somebody's gotta stand in the storm
Somebody's gotta stand in the storm

Show you what a backbone
Show you what a backbone
Show you what a backbone's for

I think I corrected a few things (their bold and in capitals), but I cant for the life of me figure out the one thing lil Jon says either lol

"Stucks" is slang for Stuck-Ups
a "Meth Daddy" is a drug Kingpin.
"Live your Gold - This is My Life" is an obvious nod to the Australian Gold episode....

[madagascar]

Another correction. :-)

Insane like Busey
Now who wanna test....?
Now see I'm the best at it
You just like the rest at it
I'm sick like a meth addict
But ain't no intervention
It's your apprehension
And then your dissention
Shots at your dome
Send you home
Screaming, no backbone

I think Explicit Sinz is the closest, personally. Lil Jon's line is definitely crunk tight in my opinion. He uses that expression or one similar to it all the time. only line I am not sure of, is either ride them 24's, Sinz eplanation for that line makes sense or if it is ????? lightening when it pours. I wish they would hurry up and just release it already so we can figure it out - LOL. I want to be able to download it so I can listen to it whenever I want and not just when I am at the computer. And so I can have my money support the charities involved.

[CarylB]

I think Explicit Sinz is the closest, personally.


Yes me too. I prefer "stone" in the first line, and certainly "rolling dice"., also "ride them 24s"

[RSG]

It's gotta be 'town' ;) I'm certain of it.

:)

[A Slice Of English]

"Sick like a meth addict" seems far more likely to me than Meth Daddy.

[Wario]

"Sick like a meth addict" seems far more likely to me than Meth Daddy.

I hear "meth daddy", but theres another good suggestion to the table.

We despretly need official lyrics lmao...
