Intro (Bobby Bucher):
You ain't give me nothing but I'm still standing here
You ain't feed me nothing but I'm still standing here
VERSE 1 (illmac):
Blessings made me grateful, hardship that I go through
Failures made me hungry, success has made me hopeful
Habits made me stagnant but women made me feel high
Demons made me bitter but angels made me realize
Ego made me feel bigger than my city, had to leave
had to check my ego, that was baggage with a travel fee
fighting made me peaceful, learning made me teach you
Same love I gave you, that's the same love I leave you
The block made me, my pops made me,
them lil charges them cops gave me
throw shots, them shots made me
them brawls at the park made me
caught fade, got my shit rocked then fought daily
spit like Doc Dre n Pac raised me
Biggie made me hypnotized, Hovah made me throw up Roc
Bitches made me empathize, then they made a rolling rock
40 made a game spitter, Shady made a monster
then God made me choose when the Devil made an offer
yeah
HOOK (Bobby Bucher):
You ain't give me nothing but I'm still standing here
You ain't feed me nothing but I'm still standing here
And you can take it all away, but you can never take my soul
you can take it all away, I did that on my own
VERSE 2 (illmac):
I been about it, they falsify while I'm real about it
Fuck what you heard, fuck what you feel about it
I laugh my way to the bank pocketing bus passes
Ironic, getting cuffed is getting fucked backwards
I got it, demons get acknowledged
Don't mistake my silence but the studio's my solace
I blew out the flame watched the cig smoking
Cracked a lid open, yeah I been on one
That's shit I been knowing
First met you, got chills. use to think it meant something
Maybe that's just you, on my grave tiptoeing
See the world in faded colors, call log of faded numbers
Ain't feeling jaded the feelings gone, I make another
take another shot, roll another wood make another song, fill another void
While I bare it all
Miss another call, break another heart, build another wall when there's one destroyed
I swear to God that...
HOOK (Bobby Bucher):
You ain't give me nothing but I'm still standing here
You ain't feed me nothing but I'm still standing here
And you can take it all away, but you can never take my soul
you can take it all away, I did that on my own
I'm still standing here...
I'm still standing here...
I'm still standing here...
and you can take it...

I dont want to be famous, it's all an illusion
Dont wanna be part of a group or follow a movement
I threw out the blueprint, Im an improvement, I'm Karma, all consumin,
God body, chakras aligning in union
Every flaw u hide from everybody u usin, but everybody's usin everybody, if not you then ya probably useless
Highly amusing, this aint for the club, im finger painting in blood, drawing conclusions
Im awkward, i'm rude and not too into talking to humans, like what u want from me? honestly,
every song that I do is like skippin stones across the pacific or diggin to china carving w toothpicks
I'm not for the politics I'm withdrawn and reclusive
White label my vinyl and black market my music
Fuck a blog or a follow, need ya confidence boosted
over the net, I'm Mackinroe backhandin compliments to em bitch -
Flip the switch watch me stick and move, split decision ur wig, spit sm shit for u to ice Pick and choose
Do the math, long division proved you'd gasp if u saw my other half like magicians assistants do
disillusioned - fill an urn- pick off targets when confused... kill confirmed hit or misconstrued
I ate forbidden fruit from the tree of knowledge and stole Lillith from adam on the eve he had his rib removed
Dropping acid on Sour Patch Kids, sniffing Addi's, doing dabs, relaxing in OG flower patches
She falling, like grains of sand inside the hour glass, I'm the one, plug me in the Matrix bet the tower crashes
Rap game full of cowards, Iono how you lasted
Put the gun on your tongue for acting like a mouthy ratchet
Spreading rumors, spilling gossip, actin young like Andy Milanakis, shady n don't need Dre to have a guilty conscience
They think they in it for the long haul
Call their bluff, push the chips in let the cards fall
Never catch me slipping with my guard off
Now take a sip and let the tip of the cigar fall
On one, the plot thickens we high strung
My watch ticking, time is money, clock funds
This ambition ain't God given, they all sprinting, I jog with em, I'm equipped for the long run
My skin thicker, my pop's son so I fought young, got jumped, caught lumps, been robbed once
Seen call outs turn dial tones when the shots run
Fuck around and be worse off when the cops come
Ain't glorifying that sort of violence is mortifying
Mommas mourning, crying the name of the lord, the lord was silent
Of course we more defiant, sure that there's more to life than being poor and dying
Morning coffee with lawyers the court assigning
inside my skull's a thought bubble where I am home, but i dont know if im alone in this bio dome
I speak in code on a wired phone, the feds watching, wanna see me in a cell, im under their microscope
suicidal prone, use a blade to find my pulse, finger gun to my temple I fire chrome til my mind is blown
tie a rope around my neck, tighten noose, climb an oak, jump from the tree uproot it n leave a giant hole
mind control, u dont catch a line its fine I know, smtimes I go over heads just to light the bulb
Ayeatola on psycotropics, high as a skyscraper, live gator inside the boat that u tried to poach
can see inside your soul when my eyes are closed,
this is light exposed, this like mining coal and finding gold
deaths touch, gods love, so the cycle goes
Madussas stare, cupids arrow, zues's lightning bolt
the pilate stone, Osiris and Isis throne
the 3rd eye of horus, the trident poseidon holds
brainstorm until the climates cold, ice n snow,
skyful of flying a drones witnessin time unfold
