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
