I’m Still Here Lyrics

[Hook]
I'm still here
I don’t scare
I don't fear, don't even fear fucking fear
I never crack, never
I don’t give, never
I live forever I'm the one that God's chosen
I'm still real
I won't kneel
Unless it's God, my team know how I feel
I never sold out, never, my good soul, never
I live forever, I'm that one that God's chosen

[Verse 1]
I heard the call, alarms sounding off
Feeling guilty cause my night was spent fucking off
History’s perverted me
Word can never harm me
Saying I’m the epitome of a fucking rap song parody
A charity being formed for this deformity
Cuz man can't conform for nobody
I made it here despite the efforts of a few
What can I say to a punk but "Fuck you"?
You might suggest I’m conscious at best
A pretentious peasant who can't get himself even dressed
In response they don't get mad or shake you off
Waving goodbye like I was last year's fad
Transcended on you I won’t repent it
I let it go so long as you don't let up stormy weather
So whether or not you're better or not
Don't make a lick of difference from where I'm sittin'
At the top
[Hook]
I'm still here
Through these years
I don't scare
Don't even fear fucking fear
I never crack, never
I don't give, never
I load it down, you can bet on 'at
I'm still real
I won't kneel
Unless it's God, my team know how I feel
I never sold out, never, my good soul, never
I live forever, I'm that one that God's chosen
Bitch!

[Verse 2]
Go on with it, that is our wish
Once a snake has bitten I'll forgive but won't forget it
Ain't got time for revenge, I don't have the time to do it
All the fucked up things, fantasies and movies
Ain't got a crew but I'll take on yours
Gotta wrap this shit up with you cause I'm so fucking bored
Cuz there's one thing I gotta say to let you know
To get off my chest before this long rest
I never betrayed you, I never did what you thought I did
Still you came at me swinging, kid
Nevertheless, I wish you the best, I pray you get to heaven
But more then likely you'll be burning with the devil
[Hook]
I'm here
Through these years
I don't scare
Don't even fear fucking fear
I never crack, never
I don't give, never
I load it down, you can bet on 'at
I'm still real
I won't kneel
Unless it's God, my team know how I feel
I never sold out, never, my good soul, never
I live forever, I'm that one that God's chosen
Bitch!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
