Still Breathing
They been creeping in the dark
To cut my life
And I ain't trying to die young
It ain't my time
At 22 I wrote a note
To myself
And said I got to change
I was digging up my grave
They been creeping in the dark
I know I come from nothing
But ain't nothing go fit stop me now
Running from ma demons no go free me
Had to call on god
Praying for forgiveness
Getting hard
Because we still day Sin
Life became my teacher
I just went to school for schooling saak
2001
When my mama's kiosk got burnt to ash
Ni pa tri mu o' sum
They been working just for us to fail
Stubborn soul i get
Mama would have lost another child
Said i won't be shit
Out here making sure they bawl to me
I'm doing this to right my wrongs
Fix my life and feed the family
Someone take a pic
How I'm bout to let their jaw's drop
It's time for us to eat now
Been a hell of life now
Making all the efforts
But there's people trying to cut me off
We live to die
Till the day I fall off I'm a problem to the wicked one's
This is not a song
Is a warning to de hatter them
Written in the stars
Who is you to try to stop it now
Better late than never
Yeah' we fell
But then we back up now
They been creeping in the dark
To cut my life
And I ain't trying to die young
It ain't my time
At 22 I wrote a note
To myself
And said I got to change
I was digging up my grave
They been creeping in the dark
Never fit complain
Fought my battles
I got scars to show
On this side of earth
We day hate to see people progress
They cannot be nothing
They make sure you don't be nothing too
Tell them l survived the storm and evil no fit stand me now
Wiser than a serpent now
Coming like the ocean wave
Know they dug a grave for me but who day sing the dirge now
Trying to leave a legacy
So the kid's will come to see
How I stood for something
When they thought they had the best Of me yeah
They been creeping in the dark
To cut my life
And I'm not trying to die young
It ain't my time
At 22 I wrote a note
To myself
And said I got to change
I was digging up my grave
To cut my life
And I ain't trying to die young
It ain't my time
At 22 I wrote a note
To myself
And said I got to change
I was digging up my grave
They been creeping in the dark
I know I come from nothing
But ain't nothing go fit stop me now
Running from ma demons no go free me
