Still Standing

I done took hits they thought would end me

Still standing, still breathing

I don’t talk much, I let time tell it

Still standing, still even

I bent, I ain’t break

Lost a lot, kept my faith

They counted me out, I counted my wins

I’m still standing in my name

⸻

I ain’t loud with success, I move clean

Been patient with progress, that’s true strength

Everybody want proof when you changing

I let consistency do the explaining

I don’t flex pain, I learned from it

Every scar got a lesson in it

I ain’t perfect, I’m present

That alone changed my direction, didn’t it

I outgrew habits that kept me small

Stopped surviving, started setting goals

I don’t chase what don’t serve me

Peace became worth more than gold

⸻

I stopped needing the room to agree

Stopped explaining who I’m tryna be

If I’m quiet, it’s purpose, not fear

I’m aligned — I’m exactly where I need

⸻

I done took hits they thought would end me

Still standing, still breathing

I don’t talk much, I let time tell it

Still standing, still even

I bent, I ain’t break

Lost a lot, kept my faith

They counted me out, I counted my wins

I’m still standing in my name

⸻

Some people left when I got serious

That’s cool, I ain’t take it personal

I needed space to become the man

I couldn’t grow with the old version, though

I don’t blame ‘em, I thank ‘em

Pressure made me more patient

I learned discipline over emotion

That lesson alone was expensive

I ain’t rushing what’s meant for me

Everything align eventually

I’m not lucky, I’m consistent

Big difference — remember me

⸻

I’m not who I was

But I’m grateful I was him

He carried me this far

Now it’s my turn to lead

⸻

I done took hits they thought would end me

Still standing…

(beat drops back)

Still standing, still breathing

Still here, still believing
