Featuring Ludacris
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, Im gonna say it loud
So you wont be confused bout what we talkin bout
I been through the storm, had dirt on my name
Im still holding on, champion of the game
They said
Whatever, dont kill, you make you stronger
Well, I must be the worlds strongest woman
See I done, done a whole lotta growin
Everything you say, Im already knowin
Cause I
I been up against ropes
Everything youre going through
I been there before, seen them all come
And I seen them all go
You can bet your last that
My head wont hit the floor, never
And Im still standing, standing, standing, standing
Im 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 didnt fold, I held my own
And now Im deep in love with who I belong
This is my life
They say with age comes wisdom
And the white flag, I cant give em
Tryin to tell you how its sposed to be
See, this is more than just a song to me
Cause I
I been up against ropes
Everything youre going through
I been there before, seen them all come
And I seen them all go
You can bet your last that
My head wont hit the floor, never
And Im still standing, standing, standing, standing
Im still standing, standing, standing, standing
Im unbreakable, baby
Luda, yeah, its a family affair
I may have done the things they say I did
But Im not who they say I am
Try to throw my name in the dirt
But I really dont give a damn
Im still standing like the statue of liberty
And I put my name in the history books
So youll forever remember me
Remember me as the toughest warrior
Or the ultimate fighter
Cause Im the truth and nothing but
Its like my hands on the bible
And its the survival of the fittest
The realest, its not a facade
Still standing on my two feet
Cause Im a child of God
Do something
I been up against ropes
Everything youre going through
I been there before, seen them all come
And I seen them all go
You can bet your last that
My head wont hit the floor, never
And Im still standing, standing, standing, standing
Im still standing, standing, standing, standing
I been up against ropes
Everything youre going through
I been there before, seen them all come
And I seen them all go
You can bet your last that
My head wont hit the floor, never
And Im still standing, standing, standing, standing
Im still standing, standing, standing, standing
Im not gonna give up, never
Come too far to look back, oh
Oh, ohh, I been there before
Ive seen it, Ive seen it, Ive done it
Ive done it, Im done, let me live my life now
I let it go, I let God, I let it go, and I let God
Dont hate me now
I aint who I used to be no more
Im still standing, Im still standing
Im still standing, oh, Im still standing
Im still standing, you cant take this joy away
