Pharoahe Monch ft. Jill Scott - Still Standing Lyrics

Please do not run too fast
Stay off of the leaves
Do not play in the grass
And climb the trees
You can’t breathe
Let alone you get stung by bees
Lord Jesus, you're chest just might freeze up
13 months old with a lung disease
It almost took my life twice
Brought me to my knees
A system not designed for you to achieve
Release ? not every line will teach you to seize
But I roll to the top of my class like Cream
I'm like the Lakers in the 80's
So worthy I'm Kareem
Not on TV but my sweet 16s
Married the mic I love supreme
Exorcism I have for the American Dream
I am still standing
I am still here

[Chorus]
Still standing
I am standing
Standing
Still standing
I am standing
Standing

I have no dead body to grave
Never been ? double my expectancy
Stills standing like the pledge ?
My heart disintegrated in a million pieces
Listen this is life ?
Best speak multiple languages for unspeakable reason
? many places I have never been
? reach for the stars

[Chorus]
