still here

[Intro - low filtered sample] Yeah... Phoenix nights... Still breathin'... [Hook - sad soul loop] Mama said the rain don't last forever, Pain don't last forever, Tube in my throat but I'm still clever, Heart heavy but I'm still here... I'm still here... Lord, I'm still here... [Verse 1] 85033 where I learned to survive, 39 years but I'm fightin' for life, Tube in my stomach, can't even eat, But my mind still hungry for the beat, Hospital lights, sleepless nights, Doctors talkin' but I know my rights, God got me, even when I'm weak, Can't talk much but my soul still speak, Lost some friends, gained some scars, Prayin' under these Arizona stars, Broke as hell but my heart rich, Tryna heal from the ditch, One day at a time, one breath, one prayer, If you ever hurt, you know I been there. * Mama said the rain don't last forever, Pain don't last forever, Tube in my throat but I'm still clever, Heart heavy but I'm still here... I'm still here...[Hook] [Verse 2 - more raw] Yeah, they counted me out, I was down bad, Lost my appetite, lost a bag, But I ain't lost faith, nah not that, Real ones know I'ma bounce back, Feeding tube, feedin' dreams, Feedin' hope through the seams, Every drip is a lesson learned, Every scar is a bridge burned, Want a woman who see the real, Not the tube, but how I feel, Want a life that feel true, Not just survive, but break through, So I write this pain on a boom bap loop, Hood lullaby for the looped hoop, If you hear this and you hurt too, Know Rich still here, like you. [Outro - fade] Still here... yeah... Phoenix to the sky... Still healin'...
