Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo
I say still I stand
And shawty, here I am
[Verse 2]
Hey, hey, never have you seen in your lifetime
A more divine southern rapper with a swag like mine
Facing all kind of time, but smile like I'm fine
Brag with such passion and shine without trying
[Verse 3]
Believe me, pain's a small thing to a giant
I was born without a dime, out the gutter, I climbed
Spoke my mind and didn't stutter one time
Ali say even the greatest gotta suffer sometimes
[Verse 4]
So I huff and puff rhymes, lyrics so sick with it
Set the standard in Atlanta, how to get, get, get it
So you up and coming rappers wanna dish, just kill it
I'm officially the realest, point blank, period
[Verse 5]
Whether I still live in the hood or just visit
Whatever you can do in the hood, I done did it
That why the dope boys and the misfits feel it
This still his city long as Tip living, ****
[Verse 6]
I ain't dead, no
I ain't done, no
I ain't scared, of what?
I ain't run, from who?
Still I stand, yeah
No matter what people, here I am, yeah
No matter what remember
I ain't break, never
I ain't fold, never
They hate me mo', so
Yeah, I know
Here I go, yeah
No matter what, shawty, here I go, ha
No matter what shawty
[Verse 7]
The blog sites and the magazines tell it
I'm sure to be in jail till 2027
Rather see me in a cell instead of this new McLaren
God'll take you through hell, just to get you to heaven
[Verse 8]
So even though it's heavy, the load, I will carry
Grin and still bare it, win and still share it
Apologies to the fans, I hope you can understand it
Life can change your directions, even when you ain't planned it
[Verse 9]
All you can do is handle it, worst thing you can do is panic
Use it to your advantage, avoid insanity
Manage to conquer every obstacle, make impossible possible
Even when winning's illogical, losing's still far from optional
[Verse 10]
And yeah, they wanna see you shot up in the hospital
But when life throw punches, block your counter like a boxer do
Been locked inside the casa too long
I did a song to make it know that the king lives on, pimping
[Verse 11]
I ain't dead, no
I ain't done, no
I ain't scared, of what?
I ain't run, from who?
Still I stand, yeah
No matter what people, here I am, yeah
No matter what remember
I ain't break, never
I ain't fold, never
They hate me mo', so
Yeah, I know
Here I go, yeah
No matter what shawty, here I go, ha
No matter what shawty
[Verse 12]
Even in solitude, there's still no hotter dude
I show you to do what you do, you ain't got a clue
All you do is follow dudes, sound like a lot of dudes
I weather whatever storm, make it out without a bruise
[Verse 13]
I understand why, now when my hands tied
They take shots 'cause if I'm out there it's a landslide
But revenge is best served as a cold dish
And suckers will get served ****, no shit
[Verse 14]
Guess it was understood, for me it was over with
But I don't quit, if you ain't notice yet
They couldn't wait to say goodnight, shawty
So they can try to rhyme, act, and look like shawty
[Verse 15]
Go get a beat from Toomp and make a hook like shawty
'Fore you know it, I'm back, what it look like shawty?
I lost my partner and my daughter in the same year
Somehow I rise above my problems and remain here
[Verse 16]
Yeah, and I hope the picture painted clear
If your heart filled with faith then ya can't fear
Wonder how I face years and I'm still chilling?
Easy, let go, and let God deal with it
[Verse 17]
I ain't dead, no
I ain't done, no
I ain't scared, of what?
I ain't run, from who?
Still I stand, yeah
No matter what people, here I am, yeah
No matter what remember
I ain't break, never
I ain't fold, never
They hate me mo', so
Yeah, I know
Here I go, yeah
No matter what shawty, here I go, ha
No matter what shawty
