I Still Got It
The Expressions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been around
Held myself not listen up
I'm away, I'm good and dangerous
Take it from me
And I'll show you how
Take my head, my shoes, my girl
I still got it, I still got it
Take my car, my house, my bed
I still got it, I still got it
I still got it, I still got it
You gotta be cool, break all the rule
And it ain't really about money
But you need some too
Hey ladies short one
White ones, all ones,
I still got it, I still got it
Take my head, my shoes, my girl
I still got it, I still got it
I still got it, I still got it
Take my car, my house, my bed
I still got it, I still got it
I still got it, I still got it
Take it from me, I see
You try to be cool but you fading
Love what you got
If you don't use you're gonna lose it
Take my head, my shoes, my girl
I still got it, I still got it
I still got it, I still got it
Take my car, my house, my bed
I still got it, I still got it
I still got it, I still got it
Take my head, my shoes, my girl
I still got it, I still got it
I still got it, I still got it
Take my car, my house, my bed
I still got it, I still got it
I still got it, I still got it
My my my my my
Oh oh oh yeah yeah yeah
"I Still Got It" by The Expressions is a song about being confident and knowing one's worth despite life's challenges. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been through a lot but he continues to be a force to reckon with. He tells the listener to take his head, his shoes, his girl and his possessions, but he still has it. The song emphasizes the importance of being cool and breaking the rules, and that money is essential but not everything. The singer advises the listener to love what they have because if they do not use it, they will lose it.
The chorus is the most memorable part of the song, where the lyrics state "I still got it" four times, and this repetition emphasizes the self-assurance that the singer has. While the song may seem like a tale about arrogance, the subtext suggests that the singer has learned from his past experiences and has become a wiser person because of them.
The song also has a groovy and soulful feel. The use of horns, drums, and electric guitar adds to the music's upbeat and lively nature. Isaac Cotyledon's silky-smooth voice provides an excellent contrast to the song's fast-paced beat.

Oh save me
I am in a tough spot, help me out
I've been around
I have lived and experienced things
Held myself not listen up
I have ignored my inner voice
I'm away, I'm good and dangerous
I am not physically present, but I am skilled and capable
Take it from me
Believe me (because I know what I am talking about)
And I'll show you how
I can demonstrate my abilities to you
Take my head, my shoes, my girl
I am confident, I still have appeal (not just material possessions)
I still got it, I still got it
I am still capable, desirable, and relevant
Take my car, my house, my bed
Even if I lose material possessions, I still have worth
You gotta be cool, break all the rules
You need to be unique and unconventional to stand out
And it ain't really about money, But you need some too
While material possessions are not everything, they can improve quality of life
Hey ladies short one, White ones, all ones,
All types of women find me attractive
Take it from me, I see, You try to be cool but you fading
I can tell when someone is trying too hard and losing their edge
Love what you got, If you don't use you're gonna lose it
Appreciate and utilize what you have before you lose it
My my my my my, Oh oh oh yeah yeah yeah
A nonsensical expression of excitement and happiness
