I’m Still Living

Lyrics

[Chorus] Time tickin', got my mind so different And ever since my mama died, man I grind so different And anybody ever disrespect me, I'm gon' get 'em I put that on my mama's soul, man, his mom's gon' miss 'em Yeah, I try to be a saint, but I can't stop sinnin' They prolly think I sold my soul 'cause I ain't stop winnin' Goin' through hella shit, but I can't stop grinnin' Stressed out, but still smilin', I'm just happy I'm livin' [Verse 1] Granny gettin' sick and your mama strung out All night on the strip, the block where you hung out Try to hustle for some kicks, some Js with it's tongues out Hit the school a week early before they come out Raised in the projects, we ain't had no patio My mama baby daddy, I ain't seen daddy-O Most of the teens, mama smoked out and they daddy gone And the streets takin' over, yeah, once his granny gone Yeah, god bless his granny's soul, but he lost all control 'Cause he saw these niggas stuntin' and he's tired of bein' broke Ain't nothin' happy about bein' poor when you sleepin' on the floor And what really make it worse is when the whole school know Stomach hurtin', tears fallin' down, middle of you prayin' If you never been that hungry, can't relate to what I'm sayin' On the set hustlin', you was at recess playin' Streets stripped our innocence turned us boys to men [Chorus] Time tickin', got my mind so different And ever since my mama died, man I grind so different And anybody ever disrespect me, I'm gon' get 'em I put that on my mama's soul, man, his mom's gon' miss 'em Yeah, I try to be a saint, but I can't stop sinnin' They prolly think I sold my soul 'cause I ain't stop winnin' Goin' through hella shit, but I can't stop grinnin' Stressed out, but still smilin', I'm just happy I'm livin' [Verse 2] Malnourished 'cause this food ain't healthy Said, "Fuck them OGs", 'cause them fools ain't help me Thought them d-boys was ballin', but them dudes ain't wealthy Caught the d-boy blues, but you dudes don't feel me Mama on candy and I ain't talkin' 'bout Snickers Auntie a alcoholic, lost her liver for the liquor Sis got turned out by some slick-talkin' nigga And bruh got twenty years for an Instagram picture I'm just a young Jedi tryna find a life saver Gentrified neighborhood, now we got white neighbors Used to hear granny cryin', sayin', "Please, Christ, save us" But ain't no blonde-haired, blue-eyed man doin' us no favors And bein' poor, to the streets where it force us Dope Era dreams just to pop up on the Forbes list Early Europeans appeared on black horses Blacks took religion and the whites took our resources [Chorus] Time tickin', got my mind so different And ever since my mama died, man I grind so different And anybody ever disrespect me, I'm gon' get 'em I put that on my mama's soul, man, his mom's gon' miss 'em Yeah, I try to be a saint, but I can't stop sinnin' They prolly think I sold my soul 'cause I ain't stop winnin' Goin' through hella shit, but I can't stop grinnin' Stressed out, but still smilin', I'm just happy I'm livin' [Verse 3] The pyramids came before the projects So why they hell we settle for plantations? The prison system was built in the process Of them tryna find free labor for the nation I don't play politics, cause I know it's poli-tricks Yeah I cried when my daddy died, but had to honor it Grew up without a daddy, yeah, all me and my potnas did Man, I lost my mom when I heard my mama sick Didn't think I could live without her, but I'm still here Choke me up when I think about her, I shed real tears Seem like yesterday, but damn, this goin' on it's tenth year Now my daughter gettin' older, out to start her period [Interlude] Damn that shit wild, just to think about it Havin' another child, I often think about it But understandin' that this world's so crazy Would hate to bring another baby into a world so shady [Chorus] Time tickin', got my mind so different And ever since my mama died, man I grind so different And anybody ever disrespect me, I'm gon' get 'em I put that on my mama's soul, man, his mom's gon' miss 'em Yeah, I try to be a saint, but I can't stop sinnin' They prolly think I sold my soul 'cause I ain't stop winnin' Goin' through hella shit, but I can't stop grinnin' Stressed out, but still smilin', I'm just happy I'm livin'
