Bob Vylan I'm Still Here
[Verse 1]
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 fеds
'Cause I'm fed up and might just do a madness for thе 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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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 f..ck 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
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me alive
I survived, I survived, I survived
[Chorus]
I'm still here (Still here)
They'll never take me alive
They'll never take me alive
I'm still here (Still here)
They'll never take me alive (Never)
They'll never take me alive (Never)
I'm still here (Still here)
They'll never take me alive (Never)
They'll never take me alive (Never)
I'm still here (Still here)
They'll never take me alive (Never)
I survived, I survived, I survived
I'm still here (Still here)
They'll never take me alive (Never)
They'll never take me alive (Never)
I'm still here (Still here)
They'll never take me alive (Never)
They'll never take me alive (Never)
I'm still here (Still here)
They'll never take me alive (Never)
They'll never take me alive (Never)
I'm still here (Still here)
They'll never take me alive (Never)
I survived, I survived, I survived
