Still Standing - Children of Zeus, Lenzman

Mother told me to keep on

I know god has a plan for you

Mother told me to be strong

Cause your strength, it will define you

You accept what you deserve

Cause you deserve what you accept

She told me son, don’t you forget

Cause what you give is what you get

This is why I’m still standing

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

This is why I’m still standing

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

This is why I’m still standing

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Cause I listened when my mother said

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Mother told me to stand up

For your rights, don’t you be afraid

And if life gives you lemons

Then just make you some lemonade

And don’t give in to tempation

It’s not so green on the other side

No matter what situation

Always carry yourself

This is why I’m still standing

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

This is why I’m still standing

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

This is why I’m still standing

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Cause I listened when my mother said

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

My mama don’t smile like she used to

Guess this ain’t the life that she’s used to now

To spread love and stand proud

She still smiled when I drew a picture on the couches

Studied hard so we never went hungry

Worked two jobs so I could see other countries

Head full of dreams

Just ignore all them gunshots

As long as I’m happy, don’t worry 'bout them Dunlops

Mum, watch me

Look, no hands, they can’t stop me 'til my foot goes down

And most times my mama speaks the queen’s english

You make her mad, Bajan cuss words

She means business

I’ve been witness to that cold stare

And when my bro went away we shared the most tears

And now you’re back in Barbados

Don’t worry, keep jammin'

Love is the bond and the reason I’m still standin'

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

This is why I’m still standing

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

This is why I’m still standing

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Cause I listened when my mother said

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

This is why I’m still standing

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

This is why I’m still standing

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

This is why I’m still standing

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Cause I listened when my mother said

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
