Tierra Whack Stand Up

Arriving with a new music video, “Stand Up” was inspired by a recent conversation with JAY-Z about how she’s the equivalent of the rap-game Joker.”So I’ve seen the most recent Joker, the movie, about five times, it’s like one of my favourite movies,” said Tierra during an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 on Thursday morning. “I watched it once just by myself when it first came out and then I had a conversation with Jay-Z and he was like, ‘Yo, you’re the joker of the game.’ And I’m like, ‘What does that mean?’ And he’s like, ‘You come off happy but there’s a dark side.’ And honestly, it stuck with me. And I’m just like, you know what? That’s exactly who I am. I’m the joker, I’m the wild card. So yeah, I needed a record to make me feel badass, and that’s what ‘Stand Up’ is.”

She also spoke about specifically making music for sync opportunities, saying, “We’ve been blessed to get a few opportunities, plenty, honestly plenty, we have so many calls and emails coming in all the time, just for movies and soundtracks. So I’m just always trying to make music for movies. From the production with my producer J Melodic and then the lyrics, on my behalf. Just always trying, I want to hear and see my music in a movie. So yeah, definitely. I can play The Joker, I can play that movie on mute and then just play ‘Stand Up’ and be like, oh yeah, this feels right.”

Lyrics

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah

[Chorus]
Oh, will the real nigga please stand
And all the fake sit down?
Hold your head, hold your crown (Mm)
Oh, will the real nigga please stand
And all the fake sit down?
Let me fix crown

[Verse 1]
Mm, Big Whack ’cause I eat a lot
Bitches always beggin’ ’cause they need a lot
Car came with instructions, I don’t read a lot
I come from the bottom, gotta feed the block, mm
I don’t need a chair, always come prepared
I am like the mayor, I am not the mayor
Gotta say a prayer ‘fore I leave the house
Coat hangin’ off my shoulder, gotta see the blouse, mm
Helmut Lang, don’t I look scrumptious? Mm
He keep starin’ at me like he want this, mm
Million dollar, you cannot afford
If I wanted I could make the Forbes list, yeah, mm

[Pre-Chorus]
Dead, dead, dead, dead
Dead, dead, dead, dead (And I just can’t seem to understand) Dead, dead, dead, dead (Where you’re comin’ from, my brother)
(I guess I’m just not like y’all) Yeah
(Not like y’all)

[Chorus]
Oh, will the real nigga please stand
And all the fake sit down?
Hold your head, hold your crown (Mm)
Oh, will the real nigga please stand
And all the fake sit down?
Let me fix crown

[Verse 2]
I really only smile just to show my grill
Rather have the skill than the sex appeal
Signed a Lego deal just so I could build
Hammer Time, baby, this is not a drill, mm
Six feet, nigga, you ain’t lookin’ like
Straight edge, hangin’ with the crooked type
First class, told Yeefy, “Book the flight”
We are not the same, we just look alike, mm
I can’t trust a soul, got the guacamol’
Lotta people bold, but in person, fold, mm
You are not thurl, you’re plastic, mm
I am not the queen? Sarcastic, mm

[Pre-Chorus]
Dead, dead, dead, dead
Dead, dead, dead, dead (And I just can’t seem to understand) Dead, dead, dead, dead (Where you’re comin’ from, my brother)
(I guess I’m just not like y’all) Yeah
(Not like y’all)

[Chorus]
Oh, will the real nigga please stand
And all the fake sit down?
Hold your head, hold your crown (Mm)
Oh, will the real nigga please stand
And all the fake sit down?
Let me fix crown
