Stand! concludes with 'You Can Make It If You Try', sung by Sly Stone, Freddie Stone, and Larry Graham. Gregg Errico's drum solo closes the song and the band members are heard bursting into laughter during the final seconds. 'Sex Machine' is a thirteen-minute jam that features Sly scatting through amplified distortion and allows each band member a solo. Sly Stone, Rose Stone and Cynthia Robinson sing lead and Larry Graham introduces the slap-pop style of bass he expanded on 'Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)'. The most familiar selection on the album, 'Everyday People' popularized the expression 'different strokes for different folks'. 'Everyday People', already a number-one hit single in the United States by the time of the album's release, opens Side B. Sly Stone, Robinson, Freddie Stone, Graham, and Martini all play instrumental solos. On 'I Want to Take You Higher' Freddie Stone, Larry Graham, Rose Stone, and Sly Stone take turns delivering the lead vocal and all seven band-members deliver the shouted backing vocals. Errico recalls that many liked the gospel extension more than they did the song proper, and that 'People would always ask, 'why didn't you go there and let that be the song?' The second track, titled 'Don't Call Me Nigger, Whitey', has few lyrics save for the chorus Don't call me 'nigger', whitey/Don't call me 'whitey', nigger and a single verse sung by Rose Stone. Most of the Family Stone was unavailable for the session at which this coda was recorded: Sly, drummer Gregg Errico and horn players Cynthia Robinson and Jerry Martini were augmented by session players instead. Stand! begins with the title track on which Sly sings lead on 'Stand', a mid-tempo number launching into a gospel break for its final forty-nine seconds.
