(feat. 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, I'm gonna say it loud

So you won't be confused 'bout what we talkin' 'bout

I been through the storm, had dirt on my name

I'm still holding on, champion of the game

(They said)



Whatever, don't kill, you make you stronger

Well, I must be the world's strongest woman

See I done, done a whole lotta growin'

Everything you say, I'm already knowin'

'Cause I



I been up against ropes

Everything you're going through

I been there before, seen them all come

And I seen them all go



You can bet your last that

My head won't hit the floor, never

And I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing

I'm 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 didn't fold, I held my own

And now I'm deep in love with who I belong

(This is my life)



They say with age comes wisdom

And the white flag, I can't give 'em

Tryin' to tell you how it's s'posed to be

See, this is more than just a song to me

'Cause I



I been up against ropes

Everything you're going through

I been there before, seen them all come

And I seen them all go



You can bet your last that

My head won't hit the floor, never

And I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing

I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing



I'm unbreakable, baby

Luda, yeah, it's a family affair

I may have done the things they say I did

But I'm not who they say I am



Try to throw my name in the dirt

But I really don't give a damn

I'm still standing like the statue of liberty

And I put my name in the history books

So you'll forever remember me



Remember me as the toughest warrior

Or the ultimate fighter

'Cause I'm the truth and nothing but

It's like my hands on the bible

And it's the survival of the fittest



The realest, it's not a facade

Still standing on my two feet

'Cause I'm a child of God

Do something



I been up against ropes

Everything you're going through

I been there before, seen them all come

And I seen them all go



You can bet your last that

My head won't hit the floor, never

And I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing

I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing



I been up against ropes

Everything you're going through

I been there before, seen them all come

And I seen them all go



You can bet your last that

My head won't hit the floor, never

And I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing

I'm still standing, standing, standing, standing



I'm not gonna give up, never

Come too far to look back, oh

Oh, ohh, I been there before

I've seen it, I've seen it, I've done it

I've done it, I'm done, let me live my life now



I let it go, I let God, I let it go, and I let God

Don't hate me now

I ain't who I used to be no more



I'm still standing, I'm still standing

I'm still standing, oh, I'm still standing

I'm still standing, you can't take this joy away
