Still Standing Lyrics - Jill Scott

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]
