Still Standing - Hilltop Hoods

It’s been so long, we’re glad we came

Before we gathered fame or had a name

Our story hasn’t changed with accolades

We’re still standing, and we’ll be back again

It’s been so long, we’re glad we came

Before we gathered fame or had a name

Our story hasn’t changed with accolades

We’re still standing, and we’ll be back again

Standing in line, fifteen, couldn’t wait

Couldn’t fathom any talent in rhyme

Had to get mine, granted in mind

Was my rappin' that I thought would never happen in time

Odds stacked to reject us, attackin' the hecklers

Reckless with rap till they had to respect us

Laid tracks, never asked for jack for my efforts

'Cause everything we do comes back to affect us

And as long as I got lungs, I’ma say this

Long as we get love, we got some that will hate us

We’ll never change, it’s done for the faithless

And I don’t care for favourites on somebody’s playlist

Ain’t enough paper for the names I gotta mention

Without 'em, no way I would’ve made it a profession

I wouldn’t trade it for a day of my obsession

We’re staying dedicated to perfection

It’s been so long, we’re glad we came

Before we gathered fame or had a name

Our story hasn’t changed with accolades

We’re still standing, and we’ll be back again

It’s been so long, we’re glad we came

Before we gathered fame or had a name

Our story hasn’t changed with accolades

We’re still standing, and we’ll be back again

«I'm still standing» Fuck it, one of us had to

Though I’m not standing still like a statue

Man, I can tighten loops like a lasso, you see my

Blood runs blue like I cut up a tattoo

It’s ironic, some say it’s even confusin' that I’m

Still standing 'cause I’m keepin' it movin' and I’m

Still champion, we keep on improvin' and I’m

Main Source man, I’m breakin' and movin' atoms

What we spit is absurd

Since a kid, I’ve always loved the rhythm of words, the

Beauty of language and spewing the anguish all

Over the canvas like the riff was a curb

Now if you live by the word, you die by the pen

The critics can criticise but we’re the crème de la crème

Me and P-Dela, we blend what they’re callin' the standard

Still standing while they’re screamin', «When will it end?»

It’s been so long, we’re glad we came

Before we gathered fame or had a name

Our story hasn’t changed with accolades

We’re still standing, and we’ll be back again

It’s been so long, we’re glad we came

Before we gathered fame or had a name

Our story hasn’t changed with accolades

We’re still standing, and we’ll be back again

The whole crowd’s like…

How long you been here?

«I've been here for years»

How long you been here?

«I've been here for years»

How long you been here?

«I've been here for years»

How long you been here?

«I've been here for years»

We still sharp, still craft hip-hop that they played in the park

Still jamming, still paving the path, still

Making our mark, still ain’t for the faint of the heart

Still standing, still state of the art, we still

Sharp, still craft Hip Hop that they played in the park

Still jamming, still paving the path, still

Making our mark, still ain’t for the faint of the heart

Still standing, still state of the art, the art

The art, the art, the art, the art
