Shateish - Still Here lyrics

[Verse: 1] Up early in the morning Waken by the sound of my cell phone Donny hathaway singing on the ringtone Was a homie that I went to school with Tellin me life wasn't sh** to fool with These young n***as steady dyin' over dumb sh** Fast money for your soul Now your done with You hear the gun click (gunshot) Blood stains on the walls and carpet Pain and the hardships Of a father identifyin' his child From a photo of the plan With his brains blown out now Lets rewind to where it all took place Started off in math cla** early that day Hey! Its high school And everybodys tryin to earn a rep And he gone gun shot a homie to d**h The impossible is happenin Children are left to make decisions Do ya let 'em die or k** them urself? [Hook: Shateish] As I look at my life.. Remembering where ive been I may not have been here Cuda been in the gutter Drowning in my tears I remember how hard it is on the block. (Yeahhhh) Everytime you turn around somebody got shot.. Oooooh But I'm still here I'm still here [Verse 2:] Another homie got murdered in the dope house Ass pocket full of money Chillin' gettin' smoked out Two shots hit him in his face when he blast it Frame pictured And its closed casket This is so tragic I see d**h on every block I turn Its just not my turn Live the same lifestyle Cash money to burn Weed blowin' steady slippin' in the darkest term When it feels like real life Knowin' is next Rep to take it Be the last left Humble yourself In slow-mo you see your wholse life flashin' That second from the beginning Back to the end and that lesson Is nothin short of what a n***a expect Livin' life like this This is duly respect And I refuse to give debt [Hook:] [Verse 3:] Yeah I remember We tatted are names on our arms for fun Writin rest in piece for the dead and gone Thats just me And I ain't the one to stunt But seems like im losing somebody every other month Thats why I walk through the hood Tryin' talk to the hood But some n***as is lost in the hood And we blind to that fact That we actin' like they wanted us to act White man versus black Reason why I ain't vote for Barack is cause I love him They gonna want him hanged after that In god we trust What? (what?) Money or the life of a soldier Sent to die in the war in a fight That never should took place Ameri-K-K-K Used to be a great place (great place) Now I guess we save face (save face) John McCain hates n***as, (hates n***as) On Martin Lutha King day. (hahahahaha) Go Figure [Hook:]
