Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We used to play out in the rain

[Verse 2]

Yeah, yeah, it's my life

This my story, I put it to song

They want the bright lights, but these are dark shadows

[Verse 3]

It started in Dane's basement, spittin' my little rhymes

And **** laughed at me, and **** clowned on me

In due time, they gon' put the crown on me

Give you the early years, call it my right to passage

It defined my purpose, refined my passion

My life's work, written in every word

Every sentence bears resemblance to every curb

That I stood and watched, and engaged in cyphers

Then was off to work, my baby needed diapers

Was seventeen, carried the world's weight

I got a second comin', another court date

And my mother's sittin' behind a prison wall

My pop's high, and he no help at all

I was the breadwinner, I had to make a way

And them **** that laughed, I'ma make them pay

And now the world 'gon hear, what I have to say

[Verse 4]

I'm still standin' here (Still standin', still standin')

By myself

I'm still standin' here

By myself

I'm still standin' here (Still standin', still standin')

By myself

I'm still standin' here

By myself

[Verse 5]

And all I wanted was love and recognition

My picture in Record City, you **** sayin' we did it

**** saying we made it, my ****, congratulations

But fuck it, I never got it, my home never forgotten

Live, write, and record it, on stage vivid performance

Crowds, cheerin', applaudin', on cell phones, recordin'

I took the pain and put it inside the music

The music was therapeutic, I'm just airin' my heart

I took the burden, I went the furthest, I bear the scars

Was scrutinized and crucified to give you art

I just think it and ink it, and as I jot it down

I get to thinkin', it sinks in, I made it out

Instead of broke, it was moulded, I became a king

'Stead of foldin', was chosen, I bear the wings

To take flight and spread life, my name rings

Was given nothing, but I give you my everything

[Verse 6]

I'm still standin' here (Still standin', still standin')

By myself

I'm still standin' here

By myself

I'm still standin' here (Still standin', still standin')

By myself

I'm still standin' here

By myself

[Verse 7]

Apollo Brown, Rasheed Chappel

Still standin'

Forever

Yeah, yeah
