Still Here

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Yeah

Verse 1

Cold nights with a dream in my pocket

Everybody said stop I refused to unlock it

Had to learn real quick who was really in my corner

Some people love the shine they don't love the performer

I made mistakes yeah I carry those scars

Had a couple bad days staring up at the stars

Mama told me son don't let the world break you

But the world got cold and the pressure came through

I lost some friends had to bury some dreams

Nights where nothing was what it seemed

Bills on the table pain in my chest

Still I got dressed and I gave my best

Pre-Chorus

And I know

Some days get heavy on my soul

And I know

Sometimes you gotta walk alone

But every morning when I open up my eyes

I thank God I survived

Chorus

I been down I been broken still here

Had some nights when the future wasn't clear

Lost some people shed some tears

But I kept moving through the pain and the fear

Still here still breathing

Still got something worth believing

World tried to take my soul away

But I'm still here today

Post-Chorus

Still here (still here)

Still here (oh-oh)

Verse 2

I know what it's like when the money runs low

When you work all week but the rent still grows

When you smile for your family so they never know

That you're carrying a weight that you're scared to show

I watched people change when the tables turned

Some bridges got burned some lessons got learned

I stopped chasing people who don't wanna stay

Started putting my energy into building my way

I ain't perfect I'm just trying to be better

Turn rainy days into beautiful weather

Scars on my heart but they're part of my story

Every loss every failure every moment of glory

Pre-Chorus

And I know

Some days get heavy on my soul

And I know

Sometimes you gotta walk alone

But every morning when I open up my eyes

I thank God I survived

Chorus

I been down I been broken still here

Had some nights when the future wasn't clear

Lost some people shed some tears

But I kept moving through the pain and the fear

Still here still breathing

Still got something worth believing

World tried to take my soul away

But I'm still here today

Bridge

Maybe I cried a little too much

Maybe I loved a little too hard

Maybe I gave pieces of myself

To people who never knew my heart

But I won't regret the road I walked

I won't erase the things I've seen

Every scar became a part of me

Every wound became a dream

Verse 3

Now I'm looking at the mirror like you made it this far

Ain't nobody gave me wings I had to build my own stars

From the bottom of the bottom reaching for the ceiling

Had to lose a couple things just to understand the meaning

Money ain't the only measure of success

Waking up alive is a blessing in itself

Holding on when you wanna let go

Is the strongest thing a human can ever show

So here's to every person fighting in silence

Every broken heart still searching for guidance

Every father every mother every kid with a dream

Every soul trying to survive when life gets mean

Chorus

I been down I been broken still here

Had some nights when the future wasn't clear

Lost some people shed some tears

But I kept moving through the pain and the fear

Still here still breathing

Still got something worth believing

World tried to take my soul away

But I'm still here today

Post-Chorus

Still here (still here)

Still breathing (oh-oh)

Still here (still here)

Outro

Still here

After everything

Still here

I lost some things

I lost some friends

But I found my way back

Still here

Still breathing (yeah)

Still here
