Monica - Still Standing lyrics

Mama always told me Baby, you gotta walk by faith And not by sight Real talk, you gotta listen Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh, yeah 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 said) Whatever, don't k**, you make you stronger Well, I must be the world's strongest woman See I done, done a whole lotta growin' Everything you say, I'm already knowin' 'Cause I I been up against ropes Everything you're going through I been there before, seen them all come And I seen them all go You can bet your last that My head won't hit the floor, never And 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 fold, 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 you how it's s'posed to be See, this is more than just a song to me 'Cause I I been up against ropes Everything you're going through I been there before, seen them all come And I seen them all go You can bet your last that My head won't hit the floor, never And I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing I'm unbreakable, baby Luda, yeah, it's a family affair I may have done the things they say 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 Remember me as the toughest warrior Or the ultimate fighter 'Cause I'm the truth and nothing but It's like my hands on the bible And it's the survival of the fittest The realest, it's not a facade Still standing on my two feet 'Cause I'm a child of God Do something I been up against ropes Everything you're going through I been there before, seen them all come And I seen them all go You can bet your last that My head won't hit the floor, never And I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing I been up against ropes Everything you're going through I been there before, seen them all come And I seen them all go You can bet your last that My head won't hit the floor, never And I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing I'm not gonna give up, never Come too far to look back, oh Oh, ohh, I been there before I've seen it, I've seen it, I've done it I've done it, I'm done, let me live my life now I let it go, I let God, I let it go, and I let God 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 away
