Lyrics

I'm still standin' Yeah, yeah, yeah I'm still standin' Yeah, yeah, yeah [Verse 1] Now I ain't here to bitch or complain, but let me say a few things I done walked through the rain, and seen my share of pain Remained against the grain and kept on fighting They claimed that I was trouble, I'll accept that blame I seen things that could make a good man get mean People faking, snaking, fronting like they on your team And its my fault cause I was just a gullible teen They get you up and on the dope and hope to snatch your dreams [Bridge] But I'm here, and I'm breathing I might be a little banged up but I'm not beaten I still got this chip on my shoulder A little bit older, a little bit colder but... [Chorus] I'm still standing I got my chin up high, can't kill me step aside and let me slide on by I'm still standing I been beat down bloodied and bruised but dag-gummit I done paid my dues I'm still standing I picked myself up and kept on steppin', and now y'all won't look in my direction I'm still standing You gonna bring it? Make sure it's brought, cause when it's over you gonna know I fought [Verse 2] I been hated on, held back, used, and abused I been a thief in a cell coming down with the blues Cold hearted, heart broken, both high and low Stared deep into the eyes that didn't have no soul Been told I was nothing, been stabbed in the back Cracked out, praying "God, don't arrest my cardiac" I seen my homies in the back of that black Cadillac And I cried like a baby, cause they ain't coming back [Bridge] But I'm here, and I'm breathing I might be a little banged up but I'm not beaten I still got this chip on my shoulder A little bit older a little bit colder but... [Chorus] I'm still standing I got my chin up high, can't kill me step aside and let me slide on by I'm still standing I been beat down bloodied and bruised but dag-gummit I done paid my dues I'm still standing I picked myself up and kept on steppin', and now y'all won't look in my direction I'm still standing You gonna bring it? Make sure it's brought, cause when it's over you gonna know I fought [Verse 3] Found myself on the side of the road Roaming alone, far away from home Mind full of things I never cared to know Skin is scarred, hole in my soul Wipe the blood off of my nose Comb my hair and fix my clothes Though I may be a sorry so-and-so There's something that I need you to know... [Chorus] I'm still standing I got my chin up high, can't kill me step aside and let me slide on by I'm still standing I been beat down bloodied and bruised but dag-gummit I done paid my dues I'm still standing I picked myself up and kept on steppin', and now y'all won't look in my direction I'm still standing You gonna bring it? Make sure it's brought, cause when it's over you gonna know I fought I'm still standing I got my chin up high, can't kill me step aside and let me slide on by I'm still standing I been beat down bloodied and bruised but dag-gummit I done paid my dues I'm still standing I picked myself up and kept on steppin', and now y'all won't look in my direction I'm still standing You gonna bring it? Make sure it's brought, cause when it's over you gonna know I fought Oh, oh, oh yeah Nobody gonna hold me, hey! Oh, oh, oh, oh yeah Simple so you understand Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah What now? What now?
