Lyrics

Verse 1
Well I saw a needle, shiny and thin
Thought, “Mmm… maybe it’s ramen?”—so in it went in!
Daddy screamed, “NO!” like a man on fire
Guess noodles ain’t supposed to poke your gums like wire

Verse 2
Then I spotted gum on the old floor tile
A treasure chewed by someone else, now that’s my style!
It’s vintage flavor, secondhand sweet
I call it “mystery mint,” you call it “don’t eat!”

Chorus
But I’m still standing, I’m still tough
Life throws me trouble, but I bounce right up
You can stitch my chin, you can tape my eye
I’ll take my bruises like a champ and still high-five the sky!
Yeah, I fall a lot—but that’s just me expanding…
I’m still standing!

Verse 3
There was daddy’s pill on the bedroom rug
Looked just like candy—like a dreamy drug
So I popped it in, then the world got slow…
And I slept 12 hours like a peaceful burrito

Verse 4
Now what’s next? Ah yes, the big ol’ ball
Let’s stand on top—I’m three feet tall!
Then BAM! Face-first into a window ledge
Now my eyebrow’s got a scar and street cred!

Chorus
But I’m still standing, chin held high
Took that window’s punch right in the eye
Tried four-wheel drifting down the driveway hill
Concrete kissed me hard—but I came back chill
Doctor gave me stitches—and a sticker for branding…
’Cause I’m still standing!

Bridge (dramatic slow)
You can bubble-wrap the walls, tape foam to my shoes
But I’ll find a way to test the laws of physics and lose
You call it chaos—I call it a plan
One day this wild boy’s gonna be a wild man!

Final Chorus (strong)
I’m still standing, with scrapes galore
I’ve kissed danger, and I came back for more!
Every scar’s a badge, every bruise a song
I may go down, but not for long
Life swings hard, but I ain’t landing
I’m laughing, limping… and STILL STANDING!

Outro (talking over chords)
So next time I eat sidewalk jellybeans…
Just know—I’m collecting XP.
