Joke Lyrics by: Edward Cha
Ed Says: "Sorry, Jewel! But the title's the title, so I couldn't help it..."

Standing here, with my hands up high and my root alright
Want to stay relaxed, but I'm losing my stance and gettin' too tight
My legs wanna shake, I'm startin' to ache, and my stance ain't right
The end's in sight, the end's in sight

Why'm I doin' this? I wanna go sleep
But I'm still standing still, I still don't know why
But I'm still standing still, I gotta keep my head up high
But I'm still standing still, 'till the energy starts comin' by
You know why, I'm a neijia guy

My head's pushed up, my tongue's pressin' up, feet're grabbing the ground
My back's up straight, my mind's sedated, my chest is round,
The energy's flowin', I feel like swimmin', in this strange state
Feel really great, I feel really great

I like doin' this, it's better than booze
'Cuz I'm still standing still, now I think I know why
'Cuz I'm still standing still, I'm gonna keep my head up high
'Cuz I'm still standing still, because the energy's comin' by
You know why, I'm a neijia guy

Zhanzhuang is the call tomorrow
Zhanzhuang is the call tomorrow

I love doin' this, it's better than sex
'Cuz I'm still standing still, I'm not gonna tell you why
'Cuz I'm still standing still, My Baihui point's still up high
'Cuz I'm still standing still, because the energy's comin' by
You know why, I'm a neijia guy
You know I'm a neijia guy (A neijia guy)
I love doin' this (A neijia guy)
I love doin' this, because it feels so good
You should do it too, because you'll like it too
We're all neijia guys
