Still Standing |
| They said, please do not run too fast, stay off of the leaves |
| Do not play in the grass or climb the trees |
| You can’t breathe, let alone you get stung by bees |
| Lord Jesus, your chest just might freeze up |
| Thirteen months old with a lung disease |
| That almost took my life twice, brought me to my knees |
| A system not designed for you to achieve |
| Police squeeze, library lies, a teacher deceives |
| But I rose to the top of my class like cream |
| Or the Lakers in the 80s, so worthy, I’m Kareem |
| Not MTV, but my Sweet 16s |
| Married the mic, a love supreme |
| I’m clear it was a miracle the way I whetted the rhythm |
| Spiritual looking back at it, a lyrical exorcism |
| A half of the Afro-American dream |
| To rap or quarterback for a professional team |
| I’m still standing, yeah, I’m still here, I’m still standing |
| Still standing, I’m still here |
| (Still standing, yeah, still standing) |
| Still standing, I’m still here |
| (Still standing, yeah, still standing) |
| Still standing |
| Uh, I have no dead bodies to claim, never been a trigger man |
| Crack, never pedalled that, opposite of Jigga, man |
| Doubled my expectancy, can you believe it? |
| Look, no bullet wounds, not paraplegic |
| Still standing like the pledge of allegiance |
| Moves made both emotional and strategic |
| My heart disintegrated in a million pieces |
| Listen, that’s life, deal with it |
| Press reset, download pain, write a thesis |
| Performed for millions, Brazilian visas |
| (I got) Transcontinental indigenous divas |
| That speak multiple languages for unspeakable reasons |
| And still, there are places that I never been |
| Like the Statue of Liberty, my knees will never bend |
| Except for when I’m speaking to God, it feels like halftime |
| I’ma reach for the stars, I’m still standing |
| Still standing, I’m still here |
| (Still standing, yeah, still standing) |
| Still standing, I’m still here |
| (Still standing, yeah, still standing) |
| Still standing |
| Now I, I’ve seen some heartbreak in my life |
| And some burdens almost broke me down once or twice |
| But I held on, on to my faith |
| And I would never change a thing that brought me here today |
| 'Cause it helped me grow and it helped me know |
| Which way to go, and which way to not go |
| And I’m so grateful, yeah, I’m so grateful |
| 'Cause I’m still, I’m still |
| Still standing, I’m still here |
| (Still standing, yeah, still standing) |
| Still standing, I’m still here |
| (Still standing, yeah, still standing) |
| Still standing |
| Standing in the light |
| Standing in the light |
| Standing in the light |
