Feel the fire of STILL, a powerful anthem from Joey Bada$$’s fourth studio album Lonely At The Top, released on August 29, 2025. Featuring Rapsody and Ab-Soul, this hip-hop masterpiece blends gritty boom-bap beats with introspective lyricism, as Joey declares, “My faith too strong, I know God got something better in mind.” Echoing the raw, reflective energy of 1999’s Survival Tactics and the regal confidence of 2000’s Head High, STILL elevates Joey’s signature Brooklyn flow with lines like “I know I’m destined for greatness, can feel my palms itchin’.”
Produced by Statik Selektah, it captures the album’s themes of resilience, destiny, and overcoming adversity, amplified by Rapsody’s soulful chorus and Ab-Soul’s cerebral verse. As part of Lonely At The Top, which follows Joey’s public feud with Columbia Records and his Dark Aura Tour, STILL is a testament to his unyielding spirit. This track hits like a battle cry for dreamers who refuse to fold. Dive into STILL lyrics below, and feel the pulse of Joey’s destined rise.

Lyrics of STILL by Joey Bada$$
[Intro: Joey Bada$$ & Ab-Soul]
We Still On That
Glow-burger
It’s Whatever
Faith Too Strong, God Got Something Better In Mind
Yeah (Statik Selektah)
[Verse 1: Joey Bada$$]
I’mma Live Forever
Momma Raised A Go-getter, Tough As Fancy Leather
If An Opportunity Misses Me, It’s Whatever
My Faith Too Strong,
I Know God Got Something Better In Mind. I Get Better In Time
You Can’t Dwell On The Past, Gotta Learn From It, Yeah
Gotta Face Your Problems, Can’t Turn From It
’cause Everybody Got ’em, It Ain’t Arbitrary
Still Heavy Is The Crown On The Contrary
It’s The Honorary Rightful King, Came To Claim My Position
Better Watch The Throne; It’s What The Game Missin’
The Sixth Member Of The Commission, But They Ain’t Listen
They More Worried How My Chain Glisten Or What I’m Whippin’
I Know I’m Destined For Greatness, Can Feel My Palms Itchin’
A Wise Man Once Said That It Was Written
But I Don’t Need A Pen. I See The Writings On The Wall, Call It Superstitious
I Got That Stevie Vision
Yeah, And This Is A Song In The Key Of My Life
I Put My Soul In These Mics, Ain’t Gotta Think Twice
When You Know It’s Yours, You Ain’t Gotta Question
That’s Why I’m Never Stressin’. I Know It Was All Destined
[Chorus: Rapsody & Ab-Soul]
I Know, I Know It Was All Destined
I Knew That I’d Be Tested
Even When My Back On The Wall,
I Ain’t Fall, Tell ’em All, God (We Still On That)
We Still On That
[Verse 2: Joey Bada$$]
What’s The Highest Duty Of A Man? Protect And Provide For The Fam
Perfect His True Power From Within
And Even Then, Gotta Know The Right Time To Use It
Have Enough Self-control, So You Won’t Abuse It
Family Is Everything
A Man Is Nothing If You Lose It
Play The Right Hand, We All Win. Most These Niggas Clueless
Foolish, Walkin’ Down The Wrong Path. Fuck It If The Shoe Fits
Gotta Let Him Wear It, He Ain’t Tryna Hear It
But Deep Down, It Don’t Sit Well In His Spirit
Yeah, Pray It Only Get Clearer
Meantime, I’m Startin’ With The Man In The Mirror
[Chorus: Rapsody & Ab-Soul]
I Know, I Know It Was All Destined
I Knew That I’d Be Tested
Even When My Back On The Wall (Ayy),
I Ain’t Fall, Tell ’em All, God (We Still On That)
We Still On That (Man)
[Verse 3: Ab-Soul]
Takin’ Advantage Of My Vantage Point
Cannon Pointed At My Adversaries That I Can’t Anoint
The Fifth Horseman; Appointed To Redirect The Apocalypse
In The Impala Flippin’ The Hydraulic Switch
Steerin’ The Wheel Of Fortune.
Still, I’m Ten Steps Ahead Of These Niggas
Something Surely Afoot
Doin’ This Shit Blindfolded.
Stare In The Mirror, Can’t Even Look Myself In The Eye
I Don’t Even Know How I Look
But The Longterm Legacy’ll Stand Taller Than Yours
On A Mission Impossible With Probable Cause
Family Connected To Me Indefinitely
Enemies Close, I’m A Devious Host
Smarter Martyr Disguised As A Remarkable Author
Take A Glass Of Absinth In My Absence
It May Just Make Your Heart Grow Fonder Or At Least, Grow Stronger
I Gotta Go Farther For The Sake Of My Daughters
Huh
I Said I Gotta Go Farther For The Sake Of My Daughters
For The Sake Of My Soul
We Still On That
[Chorus: Rapsody & Ab-Soul]
I Know, I Know It Was All Destined
I Knew That I’d Be Tested
Even When My Back On The Wall,
I Ain’t Fall, Tell ’em All, God (We Still On That)
We Still On That
