Still here, tryna stack a couple pence Like back when I was trappin´ in the ends Back when I was backing it for friends that wouldn´t let me in the house When I had nowhere to go when they had promised me the couch
Ouch, that shit hurt, like when I left home Stressed out, sipping syrup in the neck zone Paranoid, keep a baton with me, like a daily dose of meds On my person, that be lurkin´, hope I never see the feds ´Cause I´m fed up and might just do a madness for the bread Make you hold this for the Hovis Still the coldest in the ends Rarely start shit, usually I´m acting in defence A peaceful type of brother with a war inside my head I´m all for loving living But keep a bottle by the bed, because it´s brutal Life has been so strange and so unusual You can let it kill you if you choose to I saw people I adore smoking what they used to move to
I´m still here They´ll never take me alive They´ll never take me alive I´m still here They´ll never take me alive They´ll never take me alive I´m still here They´ll never take me alive They´ll never take me alive I´m still here They´ll never take me alive I survived, I survived, I survived
Still here tryna stack a couple pounds Like back when I had packages in town To keep my head above water, hoping I don´t drown Like so many others, lost and never found
So although I´m hungry now, it ain´t worth my daughter visiting on weekends Tryna to make a ´miol without losing my freedom But the bills on the counter got me fuming and scheming I´ma have to get a little lick Moving this evening Still wanna sip syrup when I feel like shit Though I miss it, I kicked it, my body don´t agree with it Used to roll with man that roll herb and sprinkle B in it Real life problems they were running from and leaving it Mask and a tool, they were playing with life, believe in it Due to lack of funds and lack of leadership So what do I care if I´m featured on your blog and whosoevers´ reading it
Fuck your magazine and fuck your readership Man I´ve got real life stressed friends, looking for a new place The door kicked off, but the foods safe My bredren caught a new case, now we can´t come over to the UK, or part of Spain to see his baby make a new face Deported and exhausted, back and forthing with his ex So I let him know I love him every time I drop a text He was there when Jay died and you never know who´s next So I stretch when I wake up and say I´m blessed because
