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
Standing in line, 15 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, attacking the hecklers
Reckless with rap 'til 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 will 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've 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 standing still like a statue
Man, I can tighten loops like a lasso
You see my blood runs blue like a cut up a tattoo, it's ironic
Some say it's even confusing that I'm
Still standing 'cause I'm keeping it moving and I'm
Still champion, we keep on improving and I'm
Main source man, I'm breaking and moving atoms
What we spit is absurd, since a kid, I've always loved the rhythm of words
The beauty of language and spewing 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 crème de la crème
Me and P-Dela we blend what they're calling the standard
Still standing while they're screaming "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 still sharp, still craft hip-hop that they played in the park
Still jammin', still paving the path
Still making our mark
Still ain't for the faint of the heart, still standing, still state of the art
We still sharp, still craft hip-hop that they played in the park
Still jammin', still paving the path
Still making our mark
Still ain't for the faint of the heart, still standing, still state of the art
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
Standing in line, 15 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, attacking the hecklers
Reckless with rap 'til 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 will hate us
We'll never change, it's done for the faithless

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
