[Verse 1]
Marqus, big beard, shoulders filling up the door
Carnivore plate, still counting every dollar at the store
W-2 check, stretch it till the next one lands
Clock in, clock out, trying to keep the roof above our heads
Heart on my sleeve, I don't hide what hurts
Smile for the kid, then I go put in work
The world's got a way of leaning hard on your chest
I carry what I can, let God carry the rest
[Chorus]
Still making it, still standing tall
When the whole thing leans, I won't let it fall
For my son, for the faith I hold
Heart wide open, back strong, soul bold
Still making it, one day at a time
I put my hands to the work, put my trust in the divine
[Verse 2]
Gym is therapy, iron gives the noise a place
Two cc's of test, still I earn every inch I take
But the matrix drains from every side
Bills, screens, bad advice, all pulling at my mind
Exes in my son's head, turning love into a fight
I stay steady, show him truth by how I live it right
Not every hurt needs a battle or a speech
Sometimes being there is the promise I can keep
[Chorus]
Still making it, still standing tall
When the whole thing leans, I won't let it fall
For my son, for the faith I hold
Heart wide open, back strong, soul bold
Still making it, one day at a time
I put my hands to the work, put my trust in the divine
[Bridge]
God, give me patience when my temper runs thin
Keep my boy's heart clear when the noise closes in
I don't need a crown, just a chance to do right
Be a father he can call, be a man in Your sight
[Final Chorus]
Still making it, still standing tall
When the whole thing leans, I won't let it fall
For my son, for the faith I hold
Heart wide open, back strong, soul bold
Still making it, one day at a time
I put my hands to the work, put my trust in the divine
[Outro]
Still making it.
Still showing up.
God, keep us steady.
