This is my ish. This album helped me with a difficult time. My Dad got shot at end of 2006, he was on life support until January 8, 2007 in Anchorage Alaska. This was one of the albums from 2007 that gave me inspiration to keep it Kinetic (moving). Thank You
I've been bumping this since I was in the 11th grade in 2007. It's even more inspirational to this very moment. I've had a lotta ups and downs in my tertiary life and never actually came back with a degree after 3 attempts. This is my 4th attempt and I'm still pushing hard 👊✊✊✊

Fact
No-one but Pharaoh and the record companies.
Desire was an amazing album, Monch is impeccable lyrically
you are right, this album was slept on its a classic.
Pharoahe top 5
The mid 2000’s may have been the best time for hip hop.
The level of soul this song has is amazing, if you represent the struggle, PUSH!
"When he rides the bassline like Ginóbili" - Damn
Only crime is that this joint isn’t longer 😩😩 Bodied this shit!!! 🔥🔥🔥🫡
Had the honor of opening for Monch in 08 and he KILLED this song...back up singers and all...one of the true legends.
He's so underrated... Love this dude. Real music 4ever.
This is my ish.
This album helped me with a difficult time. My Dad got shot at end of 2006, he was on life support until January 8, 2007 in Anchorage Alaska. This was one of the albums from 2007 that gave me inspiration to keep it Kinetic (moving).
Thank You

Diggin' the Old-School SoulfuL Vibe of this Track...OFF Course 'NBA Street Homecourt' brought me here.
NBA Street Homecourt!!!!
This song motivates me to make it past this pandemic. I really hope the continue to push saves us all. God bless.

I wish they would play this on the radio.
Still classic, still pushing
Loved this track on that album
[Chorus: Jill Scott]
Still standing, I'm still here
(Still standing, yeah, still standing)
Still standing, I'm still here
(Still standing, yeah, still standing)
Still standing
[Verse 2: Pharoahe Monch]
Uh, I have no dead bodies to claim, never been a trigger man
Crack, never pedalled that, opposite of Jigga, man
Doubled my expectancy, can you believe it?
Look, no bullet wounds, not paraplegic
Still standing like the pledge of allegiance
Moves made both emotional and strategic
My heart disintegrated in a million pieces
Listen, that's life, deal with it
Press reset, download pain, write a thesis
Performed for millions, Brazilian visas
(I got) Transcontinental indigenous divas
That speak multiple languages for unspeakable reasons
And still, there are places that I never been
Like the Statue of Liberty, my knees will never bend
Except for when I'm speaking to God, it feels like halftime
I'ma reach for the stars, I'm still standing
[Chorus: Jill Scott]
Still standing, I'm still here
(Still standing, yeah, still standing)
Still standing, I'm still here
(Still standing, yeah, still standing)
Still standing
[Verse 3: Jill Scott]
Now I, I've seen some heartbreak in my life
And some burdens almost broke me down once or twice
But I held on, on to my faith
And I would never change a thing that brought me here today
'Cause it helped me grow and it helped me know
Which way to go, and which way to not go
And I'm so grateful, yeah, I'm so grateful
'Cause I'm still, I'm still
[Chorus: Jill Scott]
Still standing, I'm still here
(Still standing, yeah, still standing)
Still standing, I'm still here
(Still standing, yeah, still standing)
Still standing
[Outro: Jill Scott]
Standing in the light
