Still Standing (MBC Anthem) Lyrics by Miquiel Banks

1998

Verse
Sisters grieving, they need their maternal season
Brothers, we gotta love-em, like nefertiti
They believe love is frozen, it needs reheating
They too excited about psychic readings
For relieving stress factors, yo, they only asked for love
Trust, cuddles, a little laughter, not masters
To leave and make our kids bastards
That's how we living, then we wonder, why they be tripping
That's why they stripping, to keep my attention
They still remember all the lynching
That's why they snap about health plans and pension, oh my god
We gotta listen to black women, they want loving
Not just hugging, maybe a little touching
Some therapeutic rubbing, that's why we struggling my brothers
We ain't discovered, what it means to honor the queen, but we are
Hook
Still standing (that's right, still standing)
We made it through the south (black folks, we gotta stay close)
Still standing (yeah, that's right y'all, we still standing)
It makes me wanna shout
Verse
Brothers fighting, not loving, getting excited
When another looks too long, why say he's wrong
We're too strong about the feeble
These brothers think they diesel, saying murder ain't evil, peep it
Our sleeping, makes the hate deepen
Black souls are weakened, all the good is leaking, now we empty
Simply as wimpy, living for credit
We try to get it, our card's not respected, what we do
We pawn religion for debit, ain't life hectic
Ran by paper and plastic, life is rugged
Brothers hustle, that ain't enough
Gotta get rougher, tired of suffering, we use our muscles
And discover, the world is bigger
Much bigger than you nigga, so how you figure
Being richer will deliver, is the picture clearer
Look in the mirror my man, we still standing
Hook
Still standing (that's right y'all, still standing)
We made it through the south (black folks, we gotta stay close)
Still standing (that's right yeah, still standing)
It makes me wanna shout (tell 'em sage)
Verse
For so long, we've sat around, keeping our heads down
I've noticed that we focus on enslavement
Now we're like old pavement, hard and black, full of so many cracks
Need to be done over, love's gotta be the bulldozer
Live closer, stand proud, shoulder to shoulder
When it's over, the world will notice
While we're holding the sun, is golden
It's fun, being the chosen, for one
The holy covenant's been recovered since
Our spiritual damage in the middle passage
Why ask it, it's all satanic tactics to control our souls
Now we're backwards
Can you imagine how the angels are laughing
This is god's planning, put us through famine
Saw we could handle, we get trials at random, it don't matter
This is the black national anthem, uh, we still standing
Hook
Still standing (that's right yeah, still standing)
We made it through the south (black folks, we gotta stay close)
Still standing (yeah, still standing)
It makes me wanna shout (now let's ride out)
Change
We're still alive (this goes out to the swats)
We will survive (east point, forest park, for all my peeps)
We're still alive (everybody knows how it goes to the 99)
We will survive (is that alright, that's tight, yeah)
Hook
Still standing (that's right uh, still standing)
We made it through the south (black folks, we gotta stay close)
Still standing (yeah, still standing)
It makes me wanna shout
