[Intro: Bobby Bucher]
You ain't give me nothing but I'm still standing here
You didn't feed me nothing but I'm still standing here
[Verse 1: Illmaculate]
Your blessings made me grateful
Hardship that I go through
Failures made me hungry
Success has made me hopeful
Habits made me stagnant
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 little charges them cops gave me
Throw shots, them shots made me
Them brawls at the park made me caught fade
Got my sh** rocked then fought daily
Spit like Doc Dre and Pac raised me
Biggie made me hypnotized
Hova made me throw up ROC
b**hes made me empathize
Then they made a rolling rock
40 made a game spitter
Shady made a monster
And God made me choose when the devil made an offer
[Chorus: Bobby Bucher]
You ain't give me nothing but I'm still standing here
You didn't feed me nothing but I'm still standing here
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: Illmaculate]
I've been about it, they falsify while I'm real about it
f** what you heard, f** what you feel about it
I laugh my way to the bank, pocketing bus pa**es
Ironic, getting cuffed is getting f**ed 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've been on one
That sh** I been knowing
First met you, got chills
Used to think it meant something
Maybe that's just you
On my grave tip-toeing
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 bear it all
Miss another call, break another heart
Build another wall when there's one destroyed
I swear to God that...
[Chorus: Bobby Bucher]
You ain't give me nothing but I'm still standing here
You didn't feed me nothing but I'm still standing here
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
