About Still Swingin

Still Swingin' is a song by the American rock band Papa Roach released as the first single from their album "The Connection" on June 24, 2012. The single was well received by the fans for the return of the rap-style vocals of the band's early work. The track was produced by Tylias, an indie dubstep and hip-hop producer from the underground of the music scene. The embrace of this aggregate had polarized opinions, some calling it new and fresh to the songs and another calling it an aberration of their style and even the band, but mostly it was well received. A music video was released on August 30 as lead singer Jacoby Shaddix recovered from a vocal surgery. The song appears in Saints Row IV and Saints Row IV: Re-Elected.

Number one, step it up
Spit the fire, I'll back it up
Count me in, I'll turn it out
I'm killing it, you're burning out
Never change, never break
I'm the real, you're the fake
Set it off, go underground
You feeling it, this future sound

Nonstop, devastating everything
On top, never coming down
I-I've got my hands in everything
Nonstop, I'm never coming down

We're just living for today
Keep on light on in the haze
Yeah, forever we will stay
We are the ones still swingin'
We are a beacon in the dark
A lighthouse risen from the heart
We've been here from the start
We are the ones still swingin'
Yeaow

I'm dangerous, passionate
Watch your back, they're stabbin' it
Hold on and hold tight
I slash your faces every night
We don't belong, never will
Never cared, we always kill
Sow me up and I will attack
Because P Roach is a new black

Nonstop, devastating everything
On top, never coming down
I-I've got my hands in everything
Nonstop, I'm never coming down

We're just living for today
Keep on light on in the haze
Yeah, forever we will stay
We are the ones still swingin'
We are a beacon in the dark
A lighthouse risen from the heart
We've been here from the start
We are the ones still swingin'
We are the ones still swingin', swingin'

We-We are the ones still swingin'

Nonstop, devastating everything
On top, never coming down
I've got my hands in everything
Nonstop, I'm never coming down

We're just living for today
Keep on light on in the haze
Yeah, forever we will stay
We are the ones still swingin'
We are a beacon in the dark
A lighthouse risen from the heart
We've been here from the start
We are the ones still swingin'
We are the ones still swingin'
We are the ones still swingin'
