Still Here

Remember raising hell up Coppin State
Till I caught my first case
Just a Lil weed charge
But you know how them crackers play
Thank god they ain't find that Glizzy
I'd still be locked up today
Trenches most my life
But in that cell, I felt so out of place
Seen that look on Momma's face
Disappointment at the least
Pops made it out the streets
And truth be told that was for me
Did me right and tried to give me life
That he ain't get to see
Fucking round with these trenches
Was in some shit that was never meant for me

But I'm still here
And I know that mean I'm meant to be
Loss some homies
They going always live in me
Rico saw this gift in me
And it's crazy cause his last name hopes
Cause this music gave me hope
When Ron died and I was broke
And I ain't talking bout no money
Talking life without a soul
Talking life without a goal
In that basement studio
I found my way to take control
Had my mind held by constrictions
Now they tell me I'm gone blow
And I'm like Woe
That shit is crazy
Self destructive path
Got to thank God for that 180
3 feet to the right that night
Nobody couldn't have saved me
Man that shit ain't even graze me
Nika would have lost her baby
It was grace and to this day
That shit amaze me

Can't tell you how it happened
But I'm still here
I felt some real pain
And shed some real tears
Think you know them
Till you facing all your real fears
Back against the wall
I stood tall
A nigga still here
Can't tell you how it happened
But I'm still here
I felt some real pain
And shed some real tears
Think you know them
Till you facing all your real fears
Back against the wall
I stood tall
A nigga still here

Tired of playing this game with ya
Clear you'll never change nigga
Know how far I came
Why the fuck you think
I'm a be the same nigga
I was trying to get us rich
Don't give no shit
About no fame nigga
Still hang with them shooters
I'll end this shit like dame nigga
I ain't like these others rappers
I can't even sort of cap
Calling plays and lead the team
Like I should be a quarter back
Got shit all in compliance
I can do it
But I just order that
My girl showed me she loyalty
So in return, I spoil her back
I had old ways from my old days
I learned then I got over that
Stood tall on my own
Who the fuck going tell me
How I'm posed to act
Almost lost my life
That paranoia used to hold me back
That shit won't happen twice
I'm busting first
It ain't no busting back

Can't tell you how it happened
But I'm still here
I felt some real pain
And shed some real tears
Think you know them
Till you facing all your real fears
Back against the wall
I stood tall
A nigga still here
Can't tell you how it happened
But I'm still here
I felt some real pain
And shed some real tears
Think you know them
Till you facing all your real fears
Back against the wall
I stood tall
A nigga still here

Dark times just made us stronger
That's where we learned to shine
The say Make it take it
True
But you got to take it first
He tried to take mine
So you know
I'm going make him hurt
