Here to Stay

Gotta get it, know I gotta get it Got the sun settin' fast 'cause the winter always winnin' And I'm so sick of class, always feeling like I'm in it My mistakes never pass, goin' back to the beginnin', uh I steal eyes, thats my prize And to my surprise, a milli came to my side 'Cause they recognize that all I do is try And I ain't gonna hide what I got inside, uh Put my mind in a cast, 'cause it's broke from past Good things never last, bad things get a pass Got scars on my back from the scratch in the past If I got nothin' left, then what's left shouldn't last If a life is so vast, then we shouldn't waste that Keep your head up, pick yourself off the mat And you gotta fight back, make a name, make it fast Make a change that'll last and the pain's just a fad Hold me down, I'll still make it I won't be left out, a good time is waitin' And I'll make me proud, just as time is fadin' I'll look back and doubt that my time was wasted Hold me down, I'll still make it I won't be left out, a good time is waitin' And I'll make me proud, just as time is fadin' I'll look back and doubt that my time was wasted I'm here to stay I'm here to stay I'm here to stay I'm here to stay Yeah, the ticket, man, is to listen, man, uh Win a hand that you didn't plan, uh The vision can give a better chance, uh And I land on my feet, I stand up Never gonna give up till my dreams' real Never gonna give up till I'm a big deal Never gonna give up till I can heal Others who are givin' up in the real world I don't wanna feel hate inside I would rather try to live than die I would rather tell the truth, not lie That way I got nothin' to hide I ain't never gonna let me down Would rather face fears than a lesser me now Staring back in the mirror, like you could've been proud Oh, hell naw, I'ma make it somehow Hold me down, I'll still make it I won't be left out, a good time is waitin' And I'll make me proud, just as time is fadin' I'll look back and doubt that my time was wasted Hold me down, I'll still make it I won't be left out, a good time is waitin' And I'll make me proud, just as time is fadin' I'll look back and doubt that my time was wasted I'm here to stay I'm here to stay I'm here to stay I'm here to stay
