Still Standin' Lyrics - Grandeur - Apollo Brown

We used to play out in the rain... 

(Rasheed Chappel) 

Yeah, it's my life 

It's my story, I put it to song 

They want the bright lights, but these are dark shadows 

(1: Rasheed Chappel) 

It started in Dane's basement, spittin' my little rhymes 

And niggas laughed at me, and niggas clowned on me 

In due time, they gon' put the crown on me 

Give you the early years, call it my right to passage 

It defined my purpose, refined my passion 

My life's work, written in every word 

Every sentence bears resemblance, to every curb 

That I stood and watched, and engaged in cyphers 

Then was off to work, my baby needed diapers 

Was seventeen, carried the world's weight 

I got a second coming, another court date 

And my mother's sitting, behind a prison wall 

My pop's high, and he no help at all 

I was the breadwinner, I had to make a way 

And them niggas that laughed, I'ma make them pay 

And now the world 'gon hear, what I have to say

(Rasheed Chappel) {x4} 

I'm still standin' here (Still standin', still standin') 

By myself 

(2: Rasheed Chappel) 

And all I wanted was love and recognition 

My picture in Record City and niggas saying we did it 

Nigas saying we made it, my nigga congratulations 

But fuck it, I never got it, my home never forgotten 

Live, write and record it, on stage vivid performance 

Crowds, cheering applauding, on cell phones recording 

I took the pain and put it inside the music 

The music was therapeutic, I'm just airing my heart 

I took the burden, I went the furthest, I bear the scar 

But scrutinized and crucified to give you art 

I just think it and ink it and as I jot it down 

I get to thinking, it sinks in, I made it out 

Instead of broke, it was moulded, I became a king 

Instead of folding was chosen, I bear the wings 

To take flight and spread life, my name rings 

Was given nothing but I give you my everything
