Tytwo - Still standing Lyrics

I'm still standing
They tryna put me down but it ain't happening
They thought they defeated me
Well I stood up and kept fighting

They are not I'm winning no no
Cause this time my power's beyond comparison

Yeah
Still I stand, went through tsunamis
But ain't putting down the pen

When niggas took a shortcut I took the stairs
Y'all , are scared of long journeys
Nowadays patience is rare
Slowing going up step by step

Some fighting me as a group, now this ain't fair
Took a spoon and opened up a restaurant
I'm serving them hot music
A waiter is what I am

Get them what they ordered , now they hate it
They're saying it's over cooked , they ordered
My bad side and now they hate this troop
But I don't blame them, they ain't used to seeing a warrior

Soldier standing this tall , since the war era
To those who mess with me
I ain't gon' tell you what I'mma do to you
But I'ma tell you what I'll not

Leaving you breathing, that's the first
Not then take your dead ass and tie friendship knot
Ain't no sniper but I'mma give you a headshot
Yeah heartless machine but I ain't no robot

I'm putting hip-hop on my hip and I'm never gonna let it hop
Rapping for life and I'm never gonna stop
Rapping for life and I'm never gonna stop
My rage was asleep this whole time

Needed a kiss like Snow White
Now it's awakened so, it's my time to shine
Just let me shine, let me shine
They don't get what I'm saying

And so they think I'm wordy
Some think I'm weak, man I'm freaking wary
Walking tall and steady, if you want me come and get me
Don't get cut when you touch me

Cause I'm as sharp as machete
They be wonderment , wondering
Why my music so wonderful
They always see a bright light when I drop a tune

Well I'm slowly going up
I'm slowly breaking loose, no snoozing
Cause you snooze, you lose
I hope to fly, even though I ain't winged

If this is a dream, I won't wake even if I got pinched
When poverty attacked, I started making music
You can say, I faced the music
Now that I'm good at it, you want me to lose it

They say I'm a big fat liar, but I never lied before
Now they tryna give me a portion, man what for
I was never tall, you the ones thinking , you know me more
I was never tall, you the ones thinking, you know me more

But f*ck that, I guess i'ma clean your mess
You put the blame on me
Then I'll cover the rest, that's what y'all will always do
Put the blame on someone else

Now that he's tryna be something in life, he's prolly bad
You can do what you can do to put me down
But I'll still stand
You can do what you can do to put me down
But I'll still stand

I'm still standing
They tryna put me down but it ain't happening
They thought they defeated me no no
Well I stood up and kept fighting
They 're not winning
Cause my power now is beyond comparison

Still standing
I'm still standing
I'm still standing
I'm still standing yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, still I'm standing
Mmm, still I'm standing
Still I'm standing
