Ain’t perfect, but I’m still here I done seen dark days, still I rise up Heart cold but my soul won’t freeze up They don’t know the nights I ain’t sleep much Still here, still here, still here Pressure on my back, but I breathe love World try to break me, I keep tough If I fall, best believe I get up Still here, still here, still here Grew up learnin’ fast how the streets think Everybody talk but they don’t mean things Trust cost money, love cost pain So I move quiet, let ‘em all complain I been counted out, I been laughed at Same ones call now like “where you at?” Had to build strength from the real lows Learned more scars than the wins show I ain’t proud of every move I made But I survived every game they played I don’t flex for approval now I flex ‘cause I made it through somehow I done seen dark days, still I rise up Heart cold but my soul won’t freeze up They don’t know the nights I ain’t sleep much Still here, still here, still here Pressure on my back, but I breathe love World try to break me, I keep tough If I fall, best believe I get up Still here, still here, still here I done lost friends to the mindset Some to the system, some to regret Seen fake love turn into silence Seen real ones die over nonsense I ain’t chase clout, I chased progress Every hard choice came with a cost, yeah Mama said “boy, keep your head straight” Life don’t wait, so I elevate I talk to God in my own way Ask forgiveness for my cold ways I ain’t evil, I’m just aware Too much pain made me prepare If they knew what I been through They wouldn’t judge how I move I ain’t numb, I’m just used to Fighting storms I don’t choose I done seen dark days, still I rise up Heart cold but my soul won’t freeze up They don’t know the nights I ain’t sleep much Still here, still here, still here Pressure on my back, but I breathe love World try to break me, I keep tough If I fall, best believe I get up Still here, still here, still here Ain’t perfect But I’m still here
