Children Of Zeus – Still Standing (Lenzman Remix) lyrics

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah [x2]

Mother told me to keep on
I know god has a plan for you
Mother told me to be strong
Cause your strength, it will define you
You accept what you deserve
Cause you deserve what you accept
She told me son, don't you forget
Cause what you give is what you get

This is why I'm still standing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
This is why I'm still standing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
This is why I'm still standing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Cause I listened when my mother said
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

We know that love's universal from a mother to a child
But all my years off the rails, I know I must've drove you wild
You was a mum, the breadwinner, father figure, big bro
Older sister, head chef, I know you walked a lonely line
You never loved the same after my father passed away
Can't begin to imagine the pain that you went through
Same time bringin' up this little pain they sent you
Corned beef and rice everytime the rent's due
Every single day I'm thankful heaven lent you
You pushed me to keep chasin' my dreams, the only reason I'm here
When finances were tight you helped by greasin' the wheels
You're always keepin' it real, mum
Forever keepin' it real
I keep my side of the deal
Because the city raised an angel when it made you
When you were sick, I prayed that heaven saved you
I bless this path and every single place it takes you
And give you strength so life will never break you

Mother told me to stand up
For your rights, don't you be afraid
And if life gives you lemons
Then just make you some lemonade
And don't give in to tempation
It's not so green on the other side
No matter what situation
Always carry yourself

This is why I'm still standing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
This is why I'm still standing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
This is why I'm still standing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Cause I listened when my mother said
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

My mama don't smile like she used to
Guess this ain't the life that she's used to now
To spread love and stand proud, yo
She still smiled when I drew a picture on them couches
She studied hard
Yeah, we never went hungry
Worked two jobs so I could see other countries
Head full of dreams
Just ignore all them gunshots
As long as I'm happy, don't worry 'bout them Dunlops
Mum, watch me
Look, no hands, they can't stop me 'til my foot goes down *Children of Zeus, push on*
And most times my mother speaks the queen's english
You make her mad, Bajan cuss words
She means business
I've been witness to that cold stare
And when my bro went away we shared the most tears
And now you're back in Barbados
Don't worry, keep jammin'
Love is the bond and the remix, Still standin'

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah [x4]
Children of Zeus, we still standin'
DRS, yo, still standin'
This is a Lenzman remix
