lirik lagu still standing – kobie dee

[verse 1: kobie dee]
could you imagine, being taken as a kid?
stolen from your mother by the hands of a pig
being placed in a home where no love is ever shown
in your heart you no longer wanna live
used to dream big now your worlds come crumbling down
ain’t no mother, ain’t no father, or no family around
just to see a black faces with tears in their eyes
who are being fed lies that their mothers all died
just imagine, in a place you can’t escape
and you just seen a boy [?] get raped
yeah, that’s harsh and surreal but believe me this is real
you will never understand the pain that my people now feel
you just hate and criticize, lying to the truth
“it’s in the past”, is your only excuse
see, you don’t wanna believe that my people still grieve
in our heart there’s a pain that ain’t ever gonna leave
we were taken and they said it’s for the best
as they ripped that black baby from a screaming mothers chest
let her deal with the stress, she’s down and depressed
as she watched all the rest get beat up in the press
such a shame that our people still see this now
kids are taken by the system, how
are we supposed to come and make it thorough the weather
forget about our past so we can see the future’s better
see, this makes me sick, january 26
is the day you have your barbies and you all get p*ssed
but let me tell you how it is for my people
is the day that we survived all evil and still standing strong

[chorus: liyah knight & kobie dee]
standing, standing
(i said we still standing strong)
we still stand strong
we still stand
(and we still standing strong)
standing, standing
(i said we still standing strong)
we still stand strong
we still stand

[verse 2: kobie dee]
we fight for our people, fight to be heard
fight for our right to express these words
no recognition for the oldest culture living on earth
and said they’d rather see a drunk on the curb
but no, we still push through
like really, what they teaching in school
they made us seem like we were savages, no morals or rules
but we had villages and doctors and man made tools
without our help you woulda looked like fools
you must have no idea
phillip coulda died by the spear for
tryna take away a culture that was already here
you raped our women, took our children, all the feelings we fear
just know the pain we feel is all still here
and don’t expect it to leave
until you see our need to grieve
for the ones that fell before us so the next could breathe
for our people who still died because of your disease
it’s not as easy as your eyes to see
we’ve gotta be that change
fight to see this culture remain
uncle charlie, uncle chica, fall for all of that pain
you see our classrooms are empty, our jails are full
my cousin copped ten years while yours graduated school
it’s a pity, i see it in my city
they wonder why our generations walk around sh*tty
full of unhealed wounds, trauma that was passed with a spoon
they fed us lies and told us shoot for the moon
but we still stand strong

[outro: liyah knight & kobie dee]
we still standing
we still standing
(i said we still standing strong)
still standing strong
(we still standing strong)
i said we, we still standing
we still standing strong

- kobie dee
