[LL Cool J]

Yeah this one goes out to all the ladies in the house



[LL Cool J]

I need two to stand by me when the chips are down and

Stick around while I defend my crown and

No sell-out, the chip is too rough and

I'll blow your skin to sofa, leave your mind to be tough

And I might seem rough but life is much rougher

To see success sometimes you gotta suffer

I need a woman that's stronger than material needs

And isn't motivated by green

Dry my tear-drops and feelin' my pain and

Watchin' my back while I strive to maintain and

Makin' love like a medicine doctor

I knew that she was bad from the day that I clocked her



[Chorus: Dawn Greene]

Stand by your, man, stand by your man

You got to stand by your baby

Stand by your, man, stand by your man

You got to stand by your baby



[LL Cool J]

My enemies come and my break-bread's tough but

You recognize game from your eyes and walkin'

Baby ain't no way I'll let the vultures attack you

So I'll teach you the game and tell you how to react to

The conversation, sexy vibration

Visual stimulation, slick persuasion

Times are hard, I need a woman that rolls by God

And the only man she loves is Todd

But will you be around when the raindrops fallin'

Or could it be you never loved me at all and

I need a trooper, a soldier, a agent

I need someone who can roll with my arrangement

The reap reducer factor and

The Queen of the Universe, not an actor and

Standin' by her man till the end

Not only as a lover but a friend



[Chorus: Dawn Greene]

Stand by your, man, stand by your man

You got to stand by your baby (yeah)

Stand by your, man, stand by your man

You got to stand by your baby



[LL Cool J]

Man, do things get better?

We can look back at the whole aerators

Remember the times when they said I couldn't do it

But I was rougher than rough and baby you knew it and

You held back when your loved jobs called in

You had faith when they said they're not callin'

You understood that what we had was good

you stood by your man like a real queen should

That's why now I got you livin' your dream as

A beautiful wisdom, a part of my team and

As long as I live on this earth

Anything you want is what your loyalty's worth



[Chorus: Dawn Greene]

Stand by your, man, stand by your man

You got to stand by your baby

(I wanna send this one out to all the ladies in the house)

Stand by your, man, stand by your man

You got to stand by your man

Stand by your, man, stand by your man

You got to stand by your baby, (word)

Stand by your, man, stand by your man

You got to stand by your man (peace)

You got to stand by your baby

You got to stand by your man

Stand by your, man, stand by your man

You got to stand by your baby

Stand by your, man, stand by your man

You got to stand by your man

Stand by your, man, stand by your man

You got to stand by your baby

You got to stand by your man

You got to stand by your baby

Stand by your, man, stand by your man

You got to stand by your man
