Happy To Be Here

[Verse 1 – Original] Hope they free my people, fightin’ life with appeals Take the wheel, I ain’t gotta explain how I feel Don’t want no talkin’, I just wanna get to the kill It been up, since they left me down in the field The bando vacant, but the cameras is still there Once they set you up, you know they not gonna be there Runnin’ from my demons, I don’t got no fears Almost didn’t make it, happy to be here Almost didn’t make it, happy to be here Almost didn’t make it, happy to be here Almost didn’t make it, happy to be here ⸻ [Hook] Almost didn’t make it, happy to be here Almost didn’t make it, happy to be here Almost didn’t make it, happy to be here Almost didn’t make it, happy to be here ⸻ [Verse 2] Lost some brothers on the way, pain I still can’t shake Tryna build a future outta memories that break Walkin’ through the fire, but I never lost faith If they ever counted me out, that was their mistake Seen the reaper lurkin’, but he never got close Only thing I fear now is betrayals from folks Gotta keep my circle small, keep my blessings in flow Still thank God every day that I get to grow Almost didn’t make it, happy to be here Almost didn’t make it, happy to be here ⸻ [Hook] Almost didn’t make it, happy to be here Almost didn’t make it, happy to be here Almost didn’t make it, happy to be here Almost didn’t make it, happy to be here ⸻ [Verse 3] Stayed ten toes when the world turned cold Had to learn the difference between love and control People switch sides when the pressure unfolds But I’m still standin’ tall, let the story be told Came from the gutter, where the nights run long Every wrong turn taught me how to be strong Now I’m lookin’ at the sky like I finally belong Made it out the darkness, now I’m movin’ along Almost didn’t make it, happy to be here Almost didn’t make it, happy to be here ⸻ [Hook] Almost didn’t make it, happy to be here Almost didn’t make it, happy to be here Almost didn’t make it, happy to be here Almost didn’t make it, happy to be here ⸻ [Outro] Took a lot of pain just to make it this far Now I wear my scars like badges of war If they ever wonder how I made it out the fear Tell ’em I survived it all — happy to be here
