Still Standing (feat. Jill Scott)

Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:

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, you're chest just might freeze up

13 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

I'm like the Lakers in the 80's, 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 wetted the rhythm

Spiritual looking back at it - a lyrical exorcism

A half of the Afro-American dream

The rap, or quaterback for a professional team

I'm still standing...

Yeah, I'm still here! I'm still standing![Chorus x2]:

Still standing

I'm still here

Standing, yeah, still standing

Still standingI have no dead bodies to claim, never been a trigger man

Crack never peddled 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 promotional and strategic

My heart disintegrated in a million pieces

Listen, that's life, deal with it

Press reset, download pain, write a thesis

Perform for millions, Brazilian visas

(I got) transcontinental indigenous divas

That speak multiple languages for unspeakable reasons

And still, there are places that I've never been

Like the Statue of Liberty, my knees will never bend

Except for when I'm speaking to God

It feels like half-time, I'ma reach for the stars

I'm still standing[Chorus x2][Jill Scott]:

Now I have seen some conflict in my life

And some burdens almost broke me down once or twice

But I learned to hold 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, I'm so grateful

I'm still... I'm still...[Chorus x2]
