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
