[Verse]
Cracks in the pavement, roots still push through,
Concrete jungle, we the lions in the zoo.
Took the weight of the world, shoulders didn't break,
History tried to drown us, but we turned to lakes.
We the phoenix in the ash, wings of fire,
Dreams that climb higher than a church spire.
[Chorus]
My people still standing, never hit the floor,
Knocked on every locked door, broke down more.
Still standing, echoes in the choir,
Voices of the fallen fuel the fire.
[Verse 2]
Storms came heavy, left us soaked but alive,
Thunder in our chest, lightning in our stride.
Tides rose high, tried to wash us out,
But we surfed on the chaos, never drowned in doubt.
Scars on our souls, map of the fight,
Every cut a constellation in the night.
[Bridge]
Standing tall like the trees in the wind,
Roots so deep, can't erase where we've been.
From the ashes, we ascend, no end,
A circle unbroken, we rise again.
[Chorus]
My people still standing, never hit the floor,
Knocked on every locked door, broke down more.
Still standing, echoes in the choir,
Voices of the fallen fuel the fire.
[Outro]
Bassline thump, hearts in sync,
Choir hums eternal, we on the brink.
Still standing, fists to the sky,
We the proof, can't kill the vibe.
