Here To Stay

When the hype slowed down
After the first single buzz
Hadta' still get by
So I hadta' hit the club
Hadta' still get paid
Wasn't gonna' be a scrub
Hadta' live the good life
Hadta' make big bucks
Hadta' not crack egos
Hadta' break thick skulls
Hadta' overcome the strive
Hadta' not give a fuck
It did feel once like a dead-end job
Or like a dead-end road
That'll never lead me up top
Like shooting in the dark
No hope for hip-hop
Ignored those thoughts
And still, I never stopped
Cause never was it all
Ever just peaches and fuzz
And never was it all
Ever just bitches and drugs
Too many underhanded plans
To understand
So I single-handedly
Had to make amends
What are my possibilities?
When shit hit the fan
The probabilities
Is that I'm still the man
Fauxe

I love this all the time
I want to be defined
Never did I see, but it's all okay
If you don't look that way
Cause I just wanna love myself first
Fore' I love my city, never forgot about
Those who were with me
Cause it's all okay
For I'm always Here To Stay

Big brothers always
Look out for their younger ones
The rich don't see the poor
This I was told once
So I had to make a change
Sat and wrote poems
Hadta' broaden out my range
Like a tapeworm
And then rise above the best
And watch the rest squirm
Them last ten years
Was just a test run
Too much partyin'
Only got me chasing dreams
Sip-sip syzurp made me
A complacent being
And then he reached out his hands
And even gave me green
When I skipped on my duties
Asked me where I been
Granted access to his lab
And gave advice to a brother
To stay on my two feet
I gotta put it together
Be the master of your craft
That'll help you get past
Your penniless past
Turn those raps into cash man
Once this album hit
We gon' all blow fast, make money money
Then sit back and relax huh

I love this all the time
I want to be defined
Never did I see, but it's all okay
If you don't look that way
Cause I just wanna love myself first
Fore' I love my city, never forgot about
Those who were with me
Cause it's all okay
For I'm always Here To Stay
