Still Here

Intro

Yeah—
Uh—uh—uh
Let it bounce.

Verse 1

Woke up / showed up / breath in my chest
Cold cup / no luck / still do my best
Old cuts / heal slow / lessons kept
Road rough / move steady / pressure test

Clock rush / they push / I don’t bend
Fast life / crash hard / seen the end
Back roads / low gears / truth depend
Heart drum / beat loud / won’t pretend

Lines show / time told / miles I paid
Night long / rain fell / still I stayed
Mind loud / doubt crowd / fade away
Still here / right now / that’s the play

Hook

I’m still here—uh—still here—yeah
Heart beat / hard years—uh—still here—yeah
Bent not broke—uh—stand clear—yeah

Still here!
(Still here!)
Still here!
(Still here!)

Verse 2

Pain talk / slick mouth / try me again
Fine print / fear sale / I don’t sign in
Lost friends / long nights / bottle sin
Kept feet / kept word / fought within

Mirror crack / light leak / truth shine
Scars map / timestamp / proof mine
No crown / no flex / just grind
If breath move / chest rise / I’m fine

World want / fake smile / show teeth
I won’t / won’t play / no please
Wake up / stay put / low-key
That win / count it / told me

Hook

I’m still here—uh—still here—yeah
Night don’t win if I’m still here—yeah

Still here!
(Still here!)

Breakdown

Still breathin’ / still standin’ / still grindin’
Still here when the plans kept slidin’
Still scarred but the heart keep tryin’
Still truth when the talk get lyin’

Final Hook

Still here!
(Still here!)
Still here!
(Still here!)

I’m—still—here!
(Still—here!)

Outro

Yeah…
still here.
