This should be the worldwide Asthma Anthem, i relate to everything Pharaohe says on this song. Having suffered as an asthma kid through out my childhood till almost 15. This song is powerfull when i remember all i went though , trips to the hospital at midnight on mommas back (from a 3rd world where healthcare is a challenge), hospitalised for days. Now am standing a grownup adult and Asthma is behind me. Still when i hear this song, it makes me appreciate my moms everyday.

A powerful song, almost brings you to tears thinking about all that you made it through, n yet your still standing. I thank my God

great song. It is so sad that 106 and park won't play these types of videos. Instead they play young money videos all day. The song has a very powerful message. Conscious hip hop is the best form of hip hop. Conscious hip hop can help the world. This song needs to be on tv.

respect always to pharoahe monch ! since cuba [ my country ] always being a big fan of him ! saw him live in 2007's coachella , what a moment for me ! never forget ..saw him again in miami hip hop fest , front row standing , around 3 pm , he played like a champ ..much love and respect to him !

I love this song..I can relate so much because when I was going through the BS and hell I was going through, thanks to family, friends and knowledge, I made it out. Now I am focused on being a better person and this is a testament to rising above and standing strong...Thank you Pharoahe for putting together this amazing song and helping brothas like me.

Can't believe this the views this song gathered 😢, let alone the years... We the real listers keep things relevant, clearly

Goose bumps when I hear this song

Sing It Jill!!!!!!!

One the greatest and inspiring tracks of all time!!

One of Hip-Hop's unsung heroes...love this brother for what he stands for, and the music that he makes; and, I am definitely pleased to see him "Still Standing", no doubt...

This song got me through my darkest times...I'M STILL STANDING

Classic lyrical hip-hop. Pharoahe Monch is and has always been a master lyricist.

underrated on all levels.. a damn shame

This guy is incredible!!!! He one of my favorite emcees of all time!!

Timeless Music... I feel this every time I listen to it. Pharoahe Monch Yo!!!

How can a song of this caliber ... and with one of the createst lyricist ever only have below 200 k views. This is da realest ever.... peace

HIS WRITING IS CINEMATIC. GIVES INDEPTH VISUALS....VIVID.

possibly the most beautiful, most powerful, most inspirational hip hop song ever made..Pharoahe Monch i salute you...

The song is about a battle against asthma If y’all didn’t know, it almost didn’t get finished. Monch suffered an asthma attack and had to be hospitalized after recording Hill’s vocals. however he could get back up and return to the studio to add the finishing touch

Great concept, song, and performances!!! Magnificent!!! Real heads know!!!

Fam was spittin maayn fa reel!!...HIP-HOP PERFECTION!!

Pharoahe gave a ton of great info on emceeing in the books he took part in making, called *HOW TO RAP* + *HOW TO RAP 2*. One of the things he said in them was this- "With certain songs, it’s better if you punch in, depending on how you write the record. It could be a song where you literally scream the first line and then cry the second line and whisper the third line, and so on and so forth, and just to get the proper inflection on those pieces, you might want to retake some things - just like a film, like, “Cut! Let’s do this crying part all over again.”"

Pharoahe Monch's rhyme scheme are unparalleled and his word plays intertwined with that deep rooted CONSCIOUSNESS is what separates him from the commercial sale outs that kids coin their heroes... our heroes are Pharoahe Monch, Jill Scott, Nas, Erykah Badu, Killah Priest, Indie Arie, Black Dove, Aretha Franklin, Talib Kweli, Diana Ross, K-Rino, Lauryn Hill, Cormega, Anita Baker, AZ, Gladys Knight, Mos Def, and so forth.

Im still here.. Im still standing...

Pharoahe says : 'some of 'my songs are a little more complicated and take more time for the listener to retrieve. But the beauty about that is that you listen to the album for a month and put it down, and then you pick it up again and you hear something new.''

Still here... Also Jill Scott's voice in that background 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾 she makes everything she touches saucy

Fell through the rabbit whole and ended up here.This is powerful. Much success to this artist.

They will not bury us like they bury our real music.

This song gives me the onion eyes. So much power in the lyrics.

Heard the song awhile back in the whip. Brought tears to my eyes.

Myself bipolar1 coming across Monch, helps me get thru the day. And Locksmith too...the best hiphip is out there yet ppl still falling for ''hiphock'' I think Rev Valentine called it and that's all that mainstream is...so much respect bc whether mental illness or physical drug induced illness I've been there so hearing it come out knowing I'm not alone, I'm still standing at the end of another day.

aaaaaaaAAAAAAAAH! This just moved my spirit so strongly. Needed to hear that message. Peace.

As the years go by (almost 30) and times change... Pharoahe Monch is a prophet.

"Opposite of Jiggaman".....love that right there! !

This is euphoric. My favorite track of ALL TIME

Whether you’re religious, a believer or neither; we all can relate to the fall and rise. A truly powerful and tear jerking song. Props to Monch for touching our souls.
