Ashanti - The Declaration lyrics

(Chorus) Never thought you'd be like, be like that ooh But you know it all comes right back, comes right back ooh Baby I'm still here, I'm still here, I'm still here Baby I'm still here, I'm still here ooh Never thought you'd be like, be like that ooh But you know it all comes right back, comes right back ooh Baby I'm still here, I'm still here, I'm still here Baby I'm still here, I'm still here ooh (Verse 1) I used to look into your eyes and think, that you were the one that was meant for me Everything that you would say, I believed it You manipulated me, did it so creatively Slowly took away from me, most of my integrity Used to say that "I could be, everything and all you need" Started doing little things back then I couldn't see, but now That the rain is gone, yes I'm still here (Chorus) (I'm still here, and I see you for who you are And you're not far from the devil babe So pack my heart, and run away, so far away, yeah) (Verse 2) They used to tell me I was nothin', and couldn't make it there And so I made it, and they hated, cause I'm stayin' here I put my trust into my faith everyday With all the blood and sweat and tears All the pa**ion, all the years Now with clouds and lovin' cheers No more cryin', no more fears Used to cry myself to sleep, thinkin' this could never be And then I picked myself back up and stood on my two feet And now that the rain is gone, (Chorus) (I'm still here, and I see you for who you are And you're not far from the devil babe So pack my heart, and run away, so far away, yeah) Said I'm still here, said I'm still here Said I'm still here, and I ain't no where Hey, yeah, hey, yeah baby Ohh, ohhh. Hey, hey, hey, said I'm still here
