I always thought because of NBA street homecourt chorus was "this game... This game... This game.. " 🙏✊🤣

This brings me back to playing NBA Street!!!!

Thank You NBA STREET: Home Court.🏀👟😎

I used to get bagged out. Pharaoh is king

maturity i like..reggae..maturity i like it..that one okay..

Still slaps halfway thru 2022! I need to make this my morning workout song

Listen to the work of my brother FEELFOUND, he really needs support, he is trying. 💯

This sits in my top 5 songs of all time. When I want to nod my head so hard my brain shifts dimensions.

[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 2: Pharoahe Monch]
Uh, I have no dead bodies to claim, never been a trigger man
Crack, never pedalled that, opposite of Jigga, man
Doubled my expectancy, can you believe it?
Look, no bullet wounds, not paraplegic
Still standing like the pledge of allegiance
Moves made both emotional and strategic
My heart disintegrated in a million pieces
Listen, that's life, deal with it
Press reset, download pain, write a thesis
Performed for millions, Brazilian visas
(I got) Transcontinental indigenous divas
That speak multiple languages for unspeakable reasons
And still, there are places that I never been
Like the Statue of Liberty, my knees will never bend
Except for when I'm speaking to God, it feels like halftime
I'ma reach for the stars, I'm 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

Genius Annotation1 contributor

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.

LEGENDARY

Sex Education S4 brought me here

I love how he keeps us in suspense for nearly 2 minutes before he starts dropping bars

The mid 2000’s may have been the best time for hip hop.

This is my ish.

This album helped me with a difficult time. My Dad got shot at end of 2006, he was on life support until January 8, 2007 in Anchorage Alaska. This was one of the albums from 2007 that gave me inspiration to keep it Kinetic (moving).

Thank You

❤❤❤
