Still Standing

It's been so long, we're glad we came

Before we gathered fame or had a name

Our story hasn't changed with accolades

We're still standing and we'll be back again

It's been so long, we're glad we came

Before we gathered fame or had a name

Our story hasn't changed with accolades

We're still standing and we'll be back again

Standin' in line, fifteen, couldn't wait

Couldn't fathom any talent in rhyme

Had to get mine, granted in mind

Was my rappin' that I thought would never happen in time

Odds stacked to reject us, attackin' the hecklers

Reckless with rap till they had to respect us

Laid tracks, never asked for jack for my efforts

'Cause everything we do comes back to affect us

And as long as I got lungs I'ma say this

As long as we get love we got some that'll hate us

We'll never change, it's done for the faithless

I don't care for favorites on somebody's playlist

Ain't enough paper for the names I gotta mention

Without 'em, no way I would of made it a profession

I wouldn't trade it for a day of my obsession

We're stayin' dedicated to perfection

It's been so long, we're glad we came

Before we gathered fame or had a name

Our story hasn't changed with accolades

We're still standing and we'll be back again

It's been so long, we're glad we came

Before we gathered fame or had a name

Our story hasn't changed with accolades

We're still standing and we'll be back again

(I'm still standing)

Fuck it, one of us had to

Though I'm not standin' still like a statue

Man, I can tighten loops like a lasso

You see my blood runs blue like a cut up tattoo

It's ironic, some say it's even confusin'

That I'm still standing 'cause I'm keepin' it movin'

And I'm still champion, we keep on improvin'

And I'm Main Source, man, breakin' and movin' atoms

What we spit is absurd

Since a kid, I've always loved the rhythm of words

The beauty of language and spewin' the anguish

All over the canvas like the riff was a curb

Now if you live by the word then you die by the pen

The critics can criticize but we're the creme de la creme

Me and P-Dela, we blend what they're callin' the standard

Still standing while they're screamin' "When will it end?"

It's been so long, we're glad we came

Before we gathered fame or had a name

Our story hasn't changed with accolades

We're still standing and we'll be back again

It's been so long, we're glad we came

Before we gathered fame or had a name

Our story hasn't changed with accolades

We're still standing and we'll be back again (The whole crowd's like)

How long you been here? (I've been here for years)

How long you been here? (I've been here for years)

How long you been here? (I've been here for years)

How long you been here? (I've been here for years)

We're still sharp, still craft hip hop that they played in the park

Still jammin', still pavin' the path

Still makin' our mark, still ain't for the faint of the heart

Still standing, still state of the art

We're still sharp, still craft hip hop that they played in the park

Still jammin', still pavin' the path

Still makin' our mark, still ain't for the faint of the heart

Still standing, still state of the art
