Still Standing (feat. Ludacris)

Mama always told me

Baby, you gotta walk by faith

And not by sight

Real talk

You gotta listen

Oh, listen to me now, I'm gonna say it loud

So you won't be confused 'bout what we talkin' 'bout

I been through the storm, had dirt on my name

I'm still holding on, champion of the game

(They say) Whatever don't kill you make you stronger

Well I must be the world's strongest woman

See I done done a whole lot of growing

Everything ya say I'm already knowing

'Cause I

I been up against the ropes

Everything ya going through

I been there before

Seen 'em all come and I seen 'em all go

You can bet your last that my head won't hit the floor

Never, I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing

I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing

I had a lover take his own in front of me

I asked God why is this happening to me

But I didn't fall, I held my own

And now I'm deep in love with who I belong

(This is my life)

They say with age comes wisdom

And the white flag I can't give 'em

Tryin' to tell ya how it's s'posed to be

See this is more than just a song to me

'Cause I

I been up against the ropes

Everything ya going through

I been there before

Seen 'em all come and I seen 'em all go

You can bet your last that my head won't hit the floor

Never, I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing

I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing

I may have done the things they said I did

But I'm not who they say I am

Try to throw my name in the dirt

But I really don't give a damn

I'm still standing like the statue of liberty

And I put my name in the history books

So you'll forever remember me

'Member me as the toughest warrior

Or the ultimate fighter

'Cause I'm the truth and nothing but it

Like my hands on the bible

And this is survival of the fittest

The  realist, it's not a facade

Still standing on my two feet

'Cause I'm a child of God, do somethin'

I been up against the ropes

Everything ya going through

I been there before

Seen 'em all come and I seen 'em all go

You can bet your last that my head won't hit the floor

Never, I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing

I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing

I been up against the ropes

Everything ya going through

I been there before

Seen 'em all come and I seen 'em all go

You can bet your last that my head won't hit the floor

Never, I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing

I'm still standing, standing (Don't hate me now)

I ain't who I used to be no more

I'm still standing, I'm still standing, I'm still standing, oh

I'm still standing, I'm still standing, you can't take this joy I have, hey
