| I’m not goin nowhere man, I’m right here
|
| So keep sendin the hate, that only shows fear
|
| You’ll never relate to my blood, sweat and tears
|
| And guess what man, I’m still here
|
| The fact that I’m still here (uh-huh) puzzles me to this day
|
| I guess God and his apostles wanted it this way
|
| I been here since Dana Dane’s «Nightmares»
|
| Since Craig G battled Supernat', I was right there
|
| I been around the block where the homeless folk drink beer
|
| I been around the world, but I’m still here
|
| The birthplace are worst case scenarios (Brooklyn)
|
| Church faith in stereos I’m here, here, here we go!
|
| From song to video, I’m trapped in a screen
|
| attached to a beam of light, I can capture a scene and write
|
| to my heart’s delight, can you hear what I recite?
|
| The words of an endless fight
|
| Here we are together, one voice, one cause
|
| No flows, oh Lord, applause
|
| My song’s, so real, so raw
|
| And if you, think that I’m too soft
|
| to diss you, dawg then you’re so wrong
|
| Cause I’m here, yes, and I stand strong
|
| I’m here, yes, and I stand strong |
| I’m here, yes, and I stand strong
|
| I’m not goin nowhere man, I’m right here
|
| So keep sendin the hate, that only shows fear
|
| You’ll never relate to my blood, sweat and tears
|
| And guess what man, I’m still here, yeah
|
| I got a pain in my heart, and it hurts but I’m still (here)
|
| After all these years, through the boos and cheers
|
| Bummy gear and nappy hair, I’m still (here)
|
| So fuck you, and the backpacker you worship
|
| The last supper to turn up in clown make-up at the circus
|
| And that CD you purchased is worthless
|
| Full of mutated hip-hop
|
| This ain’t electronica, stop makin my culture your pitstop
|
| It’s not, that I hate your musical preference
|
| But in essence, it’s not workin
|
| How you gonna tell me I’m not hip-hop, and you don’t know who Kool Herc is?
|
| Am I so beneath the surface I’m unworthy to be on your top ten nerd list?
|
| They say I’m weak and my albums don’t sell
|
| I’m only a battle rapper, please, do tell
|
| Well, get back to me after about a year
|
| When this album’s gone ghetto gold and I’m still here
|
| I been stabbed twice, near death, one breath |
| But I’m still (here) I’ve been outcasted, betrayed, looked at as less
|
| Nevertheless, God blessed, he showed me the way I’m still (here)
|
| Give me my props, or I take 'em by force
|
| at any cost, I refuse to be ignored
|
| I used to be that kid that got, played for a herb
|
| 'Til I gained weight and I made them niggaz kiss the curb
|
| Trials and tribulations, miles of aggravation
|
| All types of elevation, my struggle to bless the nation (uh-huh)
|
| with the greatest form of entertainment, hip-hop
|
| They said it was a fad, it’ll pass, nah man
|
| It’s still (here) ha ha, I guess he was wrong
|
| Now you lovin my song, like a hit from the bong
|
| We still (here) so as we adjourn
|
| My final word is this
|
| Hear me out for what you hear you can’t miss |
