Monica "Still Standing" Lyrics (featuring Ludacris)

...I had a lover take his own in front of me
I asked god why is this happening to me
but I didn't fall, 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 black(?) I can't give them
trying to tell you how it's supposed to be
and this is more than just a song to me

cuz I, I've been up against the wall
everything you're going through, i've been there before
seen them all come and seen them all go
you can bet your last, that my head(?) won't hit the floor
no no, i'm still standing, standing standing, standing
i'm still standing, standing standing

LUDA
now i...

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 book so you'll forever remember me
member me as the toughest warrior or the ultimate fighter
cuz i'm the truth and nothing but it, like my hand's on the bible
and this is survival of the fittest the realest is not a facade
still standing on my two feet cuz i'm a child of god- DO SOMETHING!

cuz I, I've been up against the wall
everything you're going through, i've been there before
seen them all come and seen them all go
you you can bet your last, that my head won't hit the floor
i'm still standing, standing standing
i'm still standing, standing standing
i'm still standing, standing standing

Yes- your lyrics posted are a little off- they showed them on the show Tuesday.
3rd line- replace I didn't fall with I didn't fold.
Replace up against the wall with up against the ropes.
Replace the white black (?) with the white flag

I'm in love with this song too! I'm sure there will be many who can and will relate. I wouldn't consider myself a fan but I have followed Monica's music and enjoyed her hits immensely. The release of this song should blow the tops off the charts and it is officially my ANTHEM! Monica stay true to yourself and your faith, God will not let you down. You are victorious already!!!

love the sung....i have nothing but love from "Miss Thang"...I loved the show "The Single" but i was under the impression it was a series, but I guess not? Take care Monica and I can not wait until the album drops I will definitely support. I do have one question: Is Rocko the father of both the little boys or just older one? I was not sure if the older was fathered by the the one who committed suicide(Just curious). You have beautiful family and I see why you are "still standing"

Love

Mookie

isn't it "..I had a lover take his 'soul' in front of me.."?
What a beautiful song. To me, it's about finding inner strength no matter what circumstances you find yourself in. Thank you for the inspiration Monica!!

Monica I followed your music every since you came on BET. I am you biggest female fan. I know and can recite all of your songs. But on your show I think you put yourself down a little to much. I think that your last two cd were awesome. I just don't think that the world saw enough from you. You don't do a lot of videos. Based on your music that you already put out, I think that you are better than most female artist. But you are not getting recognized as you should. I You are great. This song is great. I thank you for putting out song that a lot of females can relate to. Your voice is special keep on, keeping on, and i'll continue to be your #1 Fan.

What's up Moe? I see you are holding it down for us in the 08. I too am one of your biggest fans. You have went above and beyond as an artist and delivered songs that we all can relate to. Starting with your first cd till this day. I feel that this song also exactly explains me, and what i've been through could we be shadow sisters. Continue doing what you do best and I'm going to continue to support you.

Ohhh listen to me now, I'm gonna say it loud
so you don't be confused
bout what we talking bout
I've been through the storm, had dirt on my name
I'm still holding on champion of the game
(they say) whatever don't kill you make you stronger
well I must be the world's strongest women
see I dun(?) done a whole lot of growing
everything they say I'm already knowing
Cause I


chorus

I've been up against the ropes
everything you're going through, i've been there before
seen them all come and seen them all go
you you can bet your last, that my head won't hit the floor
i'm still standing, standing standing
i'm still standing, standing standing
i'm still standing, standing standing


V2

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 black(?) I can't give them
tryna to tell you how it's supposed to be
and this is more than just a song to me

chorus

cuz I, I've been up against the wall
everything you're going through, i've been there before
seen them all come and seen them all go
you can bet your last, that my head(?) won't hit the floor
no no, i'm still standing, standing standing, standing
i'm still standing, standing standing
