Still Here

Lyrics

[Intro: D Liva] Once you find your road Follow it under the rainbow Your gold is just a little farther The rings around the rose Taunt you with laughter But just remember They all come crashing back down [Verse 1: D Liva] Yeah, this goes out to all my niggas from the early nineties Coming live from a nigga who was nothing but tiny Barely alive, he ushered the decade to dawn With perfect timing, October the birth of a don Like Corleone, didn't take long Just to figure out to get what you want You break arms, right or wrong And keep your eyes to the sky The world is yours But keep your nose out the white Don't fuck with whores That ain't nothing but a distraction. (Distraction!) Stick to plot and get to the action. (Action!) Harden your heart much harder than an erection Those who are soft as pussy get fucked with no protection, lessons Ended adolescence with the balls to start a business Even if it would put me at odds with family wishes Dedicated to channel grit onto televisions But it's taking way too long Though I've been, I've been [Hook: D Liva] Been at it a long time A long time You talk slick, get smacked with the straight stick You might've hit me with your best shot But I ain't going nowhere. (Yeaaa boiii!) Been at it a long time A long time You talk slick, get smacked with the straight stick Yeah, you might have hit me with your best shot, (Nice try!) But I'm still here niggas! (Yeaaa boiii!) [Verse 2: D Liva] Right around the time I took interest in peach emojis Something else excited the boy Something like a package arrive at the door So I signed on the line and insided the toy Ripping up the wrapping, I didn't understand half of it But still it sent me jumping for joy I ain't have to hide with the liars no more All I had to decide is who I would employ It was written on the letter two thousand and twenty-seven Would be the year of my tenure as veteran of the bettering Of the planet through something that I invented Provided that I didn't die from the toil So I made the tough decision Instead of studying medicine, I would become the Edison Of harnessing the pencil to jettison ideas That's better than penicillin Futuristic as Jet Jetson, bigger than debt ceilings But it's worth mentioning that this message didn't say who it was from And it came with a warning It said you won't feel the warmth of woman You gon' be cold on this path that you've chosen But I've never been one for warranties and all the na-na-na I just want to be a phenomenon So here it is, my Quiet Grind is why I go on And on and on and on Yeah, I've been at it a long time [Hook: D Liva] Been at it a long time A long time You talk slick, get smacked with the straight stick You might've hit me with your best shot But I ain't going nowhere. (Yeaaa boiii!) Been at it a long time A long time You talk slick, get smacked with the straight stick Yeah, you might have hit me with your best shot, (Nice try!) But I'm still here niggas! (Yeaaa boiii!) [Post-Hook: D Liva] I'm still here niggas! [Monologue: D Liva] Dear Future Me Thanks for the letter; I got it It came at a time when it was much needed I've been working very hard For what feels like a very long time I hope when you listen back to this You're reminded of our humble beginnings Our Quiet Grind And when you do look back You look back with pride And it brings a smile to your face And maybe tears to your eyes But you laugh You laugh at how much it bothered us That it was taking so long to get to where we want to be Considering where you are now Speaking of which, how's Hottspot? Is our face on billboards yet? Remember that was the goal How about music? Are you a superstar yet? Have you done a song with Hov? Have you done a song with Kanye? Have you met them? Are they cool? How about the kids? How about the wife? Do you have one? Is she smokin'? She better be Remember Mom right around now was saying "You need to stop fooling around. You need to get married All of your friends are getting married You, you're running around as a bachelor." But seriously, this is me at twenty-six I hope you're still happy I hope you're still inspired But most importantly, I hope you're still here [Outro: D Liva] (x2) Ancora qui Ancora tu Ora però io so chi sei
