We are blessed to have the Grand R.A.P. artist, Ambassadour
And the soulful sound of Paul
We are still here after 400 years of such oppression
Standing tall with grace and dignity
I was the youngest born and raised by my mama
A appetite for the streets, I never had no father
See, every day, mama hustled, man, as life went on
She made sure we had a meal and through it all she stayed strong
She never gave up on us, me and my older sister
Now as a man I understand why my mama whipped us
'Cause as a youngster I'd sit back and learn the game well
Knew what it took to get the paper, started slangin' yayo
I was 12 years old, posted with big boys
Tried to hide it from my mother so I was paranoid
Got introduced to the gang life, throwin' up the set
And puttin' work on the fiends if they didn't pay they debts
And respect was a big thang on my block
A nickel plated .25 holdin' 8 shots
To gain stripes you had to ride when the funk hit
But when the shots let off hopin' you wasn't hit
This is my testimony
Doesn't matter what you've been through in your life
It doesn't matter what you've been through
You're still here, you're still here
You're still here, you're still here
And even though you feel like givin' up the fight
Even though you feel like givin' up the fight
You're still here, you're still here
You're still here, yeah, you're still here
You're still here
I had a homie that I ran with, crazy and wild
He was the center of attraction, bustin' shots in the crowd
And everybody knew he had money stacked up
But jealousy and envy had my boy wrapped up
I used to tell him to slow it down and stay low key
But he steady bragged on his money, how he was cookin' them ki's
The fast life had us blindfolded
'Cause when you deep off in this game this money is your focus
And it's a trip how we gone but I'm still livin'
And I believe Jesus walked, that's why I'm not in prison
Look around you and see how life made a drastic change
The biggest baller's now workin' no mo' dope game
Somebody told me don't be scared of change when it come
I felt a peace that passes over so I put down my guns
Nothin' but memories and bullet wounds from past life
I was a soldier in the streets so every day I fight
To live right, I'm still here
Doesn't matter what you've been through in your life
It doesn't matter what you've been through
You're still here, you're still here
You're still here, you're still here
And even though you feel like givin' up the fight
Don't give up
You're still here, you're still here
You're still here, yeah, yeah, yeah
Now just point to yourself, you're still here
Now take a look at yourself, you're still here
Even though some folks lied on ya, you're still here
And a loved one have died on ya, you're still here
You're workin' hard to make it every day, you're still here
And the wrong seem like the right way, you're still here
Just put a smile on your face, sister, you're still here
'Cause this year is your year, sister, no more tears
You see, I made it through a hard life, I'm still here
I hope this song will bring you to the light, I'm still here
My testimony is a miracle, I'm still here
Ambassadour got what you lookin' for, it's right here
Take a walk down your past life, you're still here
And thank God that you didn't die that night, you're still here
Now go and tell somebody that you love, they still here
In spite of all the wrong that they done, they still here
Doesn't matter what you've been through in your life
You're still here, you're still here
And even though you feel like givin' up the fight
You're still here, you're still here
You're still here
You're still here, yeah
No matter what you've been through
You're still here
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
