Still
Chanté Moore/Kenny Lattimore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waking up to your smile
And tasting your sweets lips
To put my day in motion
But I don't always recognize you
When you wear the pain you've been through
And I compete against a past
And learn it's more than an ocean
I'm not afraid of work
Even through the worst
Baby I'm staying with you
It's gonna be worth that I love you
Everybody knows that it's still good
(Life's been crazy, but I know baby)
Baby it's so good
(Good and bad times, cause you are mine)
(Our love, our love) Is still good
(Our love, our love) so good
Sometimes I don't know how to steer it
Can't really say that I've been fearless
But we've got too much invested
It's only fair that we're destined
(I don't want nobody but you)
(Big and strong when we go through)
On the other hand you still know you've got my devotion
I'm not afraid of work
Even through the worst
Baby I'm staying with you
It's gonna be worth that I love you
Everybody knows that it's still good
(Life's been crazy, but I know baby)
Baby it's so good
(Good and bad times, cause you are mine)
(Our love, our love) is still good
(Our love, our love) so good
It's been 10 years and I can't believe that my baby's home
I can even recall the day that you came along
All the years that we dated baby, then I made the call
And I brought you a cla**ic rock like the 80's songs
We the unbreakable perfect couple, he made us strong
Who would've ever predicted that I take a fall
You could've packed up and taken off
But instead you stuck with me through the greatest storm
And that's love, man the rain clouds
Didn't have a rule 'till you thought of how we exchanged vows
Yeah we faced trials, by the grace of God
Still good, now great, now real talk
I'm not afraid of work
Even through the worst
Baby I'm staying with you
It's gonna be worth that I love you
Everybody knows that it's still good
(Life's been crazy, but I know baby)
Baby it's so good
(Good and bad times, cause you are mine)
(Our love, our love) Is still good
(Our love, our love) so good
With the help of God
Anybody with s*** can make it
Don't give up on your husband
Don't give up on your wife
It's work, but it's worth it
The song "Still" by Chanté Moore and Kenny Lattimore is a powerful love ballad that speaks about the struggles that the couple has gone through in their relationship, but their love for each other continues to remain strong. The opening lines express the desire to wake up every day to the smile of their loved one and the taste of their sweet lips. However, the singer acknowledges that they don't always recognize their partner when they are struggling with pain. The reference to competing against the past indicates that there may have been previous relationships or experiences that are affecting the present.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's commitment to working hard to make the relationship succeed. They are willing to go through the worst and stay with their partner because they believe their love is worth it. The repetition of "still good" reinforces the idea that despite all the challenges they have faced, their love is still going strong. The final verse is a personal reflection on the couple's ten-year journey together. The singer remembers the day they met and the years they dated before making a commitment. They acknowledge that they have faced trials and hardships, but their love for each other has only grown stronger.
