“Still Standing, Still Broke”

Verse 1 I don’t own a house on a hill with a view, I don’t wear the badge of a corporate suit, I got coffee stains on a secondhand shirt, And a backbone built outta trial and hurt. They say slow down, pick a safer lane, I say I’ve been broke and I’m still the same, I don’t need a plan that impresses you, I just need a reason that still feels true. Pre-Chorus I don’t win big, I don’t fall apart, I just keep moving when it gets hard. Chorus I’m still standing, still broke, still free, Still laughing at what you expect from me, I don’t need gold, I don’t need hope, I just need time and a way to cope. Still standing, still loud, still here, Still doing fine without living in fear, You can keep the dream that you were sold— I’m still standing, still broke, still bold. Verse 2 I don’t chase trends, I don’t fake a grin, I don’t measure life by the shape I’m in, I got a list of things I’ll never be, And that’s the shit that keeps me free. You climb ladders that lean on air, I dig my heels ‘cause I’m already there, If this is losing, then let me lose, At least I get to choose my rules. Pre-Chorus I don’t shine bright, I don’t disappear, I just stay loud when it’s unclear. Chorus I’m still standing, still broke, still free, Still laughing at what you expect from me, I don’t need gold, I don’t need hope, I just need time and a way to cope. Still standing, still loud, still here, Still doing fine without living in fear, You can keep the dream that you were sold— I’m still standing, still broke, still bold. Bridge I don’t owe you proof, I don’t owe you shit, I don’t need permission Just to exist. Final Chorus (faster, louder) Still standing, still broke, still free, Still not who you wanted me to be, I don’t need fame, I don’t need control, I got my name and I got my soul. Still standing, still loud, still me, Still choosing now over what might be, You can keep the dream that you were sold— I’m still standing, still broke, still bold. Outro Yeah, I’m still here. Deal with it.
