WE STILL HERE [Intro — spoken] Yeah… For everybody who almost gave up. Everybody who thought they wouldn’t make it. Look around… We still here. [Verse 1] I done walked through storms that could’ve washed my name, Lost pieces of myself just to find my way, Had nights so dark I couldn’t see tomorrow, Still woke up breathing with a pocket full of sorrow. They thought the pressure would eventually fold me, Life threw punches but it never controlled me, Every setback tried to put a period on my sentence, God turned the punctuation into another beginning. I got scars, but the scars don’t own me, Got history, but the past can’t clone me, I ain’t lucky, I’m blessed with another sunrise, Still got breath in my lungs— That’s a reason to rise. [Hook] We still here! After everything they said would break us, We still here! God kept us when the road wouldn’t save us, Hands up high, let the whole world hear— We took every hit and we made it through the years. We still here! Yeah… We still here! [Verse 2] I remember days when the hope got thin, Had to fight battles nobody knew I was in, Smiled in public while the war lived inside, But something in my spirit kept saying, “Survive.” I lost friends, lost time, lost versions of me, But every loss revealed who I was meant to be, Some people left and I thought I was abandoned, Then God showed me some exits were actually answers. Now every breath feels like a victory lap, Every old photograph is proof I came back, I ain’t celebrating ‘cause life was easy— I’m celebrating ‘cause life tried to stop me and couldn’t defeat me. [Hook] We still here! After everything they said would break us, We still here! God kept us when the road wouldn’t save us, Hands up high, let the whole world hear— We took every hit and we made it through the years. We still here! Yeah… We still here! [Verse 3] So raise your glass to the ones still breathing, The ones who kept walking when they stopped believing, The ones who lost everything and started again, The ones who found God when they ran out of friends. You can’t tell my story from one bad chapter, You can’t judge the ocean from one wave crashing, I came too far just to live scared now, Got too much purpose to be looking back down. And if tomorrow brings another mountain to climb, I’ll meet it with faith and a little more fight, Because everything behind me tried taking my place— But I’m standing right here with a smile on my face. [Final Hook — bigger, crowd vocals] We still here! After everything they said would break us, We still here! God kept us when the road wouldn’t save us, Hands up high, let the whole world hear— We took every hit and we made it through the years! We still here! Through the pain! Through the tears! Through the losses! Through the fears! WE STILL HERE! [Outro — spoken] Don’t confuse survival with luck. Some of us were carried through things we couldn’t walk through alone. Give God the glory. Give yourself some credit. And keep moving. We still here.
