Still Standing

Love

Still standin'

Showin' motivational hip-hop, a lot of rap

Vibe, emotional, it's irrational, real life storyteller

Life ain't always been easy, you feel me?

Had some nights I ain't know how to make it

Had some days I wanted to give up

But one thing about me

I ain't never been the type to stay down, look

I came from the bottom had dreams in my pocket

Was chasing the future when nobody watched

They had pain in my heart but I never would show it

Was fighting my battles and nobody noticed

I smiled through the struggle kept tears in disguise

Had nights I was praying with fear in my eyes

They told me I failed said I′d never be great

But I knew in my heart I was destined for fate

I watch people change when the money got low

Happens turn to strangers, that's how life goes

But I never let hatred take over my soul

'Cause losing yourself is a dangerous road

My mama told me, son, keep your head to the sky

You gotta keep pushing, don't push in your eyes

So I carry her words every step that I take

And I promise one day all these struggles gon' pay

I've been down, I've been hurt, had to learn what I'm worth

Through the rain, through the pain, I found sunshine again

And I know there's a reason I'm here

Every scar, every tear made me stronger through the years

I'm still standing, even when the world falls down

Had to lose a couple people just to find my solid ground

I've been broken, I've been tested, but I'm never backing down

I was born to be somebody, ain't no stopping me now

Oh, I'm still standing

Through the thunder and the rain

Oh, I'm still standing

Turn my struggles into strength

And if tomorrow ain't promised, I'ma give my all today

'Cause the life that I've been given is a blessing either way

Look, I ain't perfect, made mistakes, had to learn from the past

Had to understand that nothing good in life comes fast

Had to cut off distractions, had to focus on the mission

Had to stop making excuses, start believing in my vision

I got dreams bigger than the city where I'm from

Wanna make my family proud of everything I've done

Wanna put my mama somewhere she ain't gone

I gotta stress telling you to finally rest I got the rest

See success ain′t just the money or the chains around your neck

It's the people that you help and the love that you protect

It′s just a lesson that you learn when you barely had a dime

It's the courage to keep moving when you running out of time

I done seen a lot of darkness but I never lost my light

I went battle just to make it through the night

Now I'm looking at the mirror, seeing someone I respect

Not because I got it all, but I ain't finished growing yet

I'm still standing, even when the world falls down

Had to lose a couple people just to find my solid ground

I've been breaking, I've been tested, but I'm never backing down

I was born to be somebody, ain't no stopping me now

Oh, I'm still standing

Oh, I'm still standing

Oh, I'm still standing
