[Chorus: Jill Scott] Still standing, I'm still here (Still standing, yeah, still standing) Still standing, I'm still here (Still standing, yeah, still standing) Still standing
[Chorus: Jill Scott] Still standing, I'm still here (Still standing, yeah, still standing) Still standing, I'm still here (Still standing, yeah, still standing) Still standing
[Verse 3: Jill Scott] Now I, I've seen some heartbreak in my life And some burdens almost broke me down once or twice But I held on, on to my faith And I would never change a thing that brought me here today 'Cause it helped me grow and it helped me know Which way to go, and which way to not go And I'm so grateful, yeah, I'm so grateful 'Cause I'm still, I'm still
[Chorus: Jill Scott] Still standing, I'm still here (Still standing, yeah, still standing) Still standing, I'm still here (Still standing, yeah, still standing) Still standing
[Outro: Jill Scott] Standing in the light Standing in the light Standing in the light

Pharoahe Monch has long struggled with asthma, a condition which has interfered with his career in the past (such as when he has suffered asthma attacks in the middle of performances). In this song, he explores how he has overcome his struggle with asthma, as well as other factors which may have prevented his career or survival, including his choice to stay clear of criminal activity despite growing up in an underprivileged area of Queens, and his determination to continue to succeed.
