Tech N9ne – Still Right Here lyrics

[Chorus: Garrett Raff]
Hopefully, hopefully, I'm in your head
I hope that you don’t forget that I'm
Still right here
Still right here
Still right here, here
I'm still right here

[Verse 1: Tech N9ne]
In the flesh like ain’t no death sight
Lookin' forward to the next night, much longevity for Tech's life
Like I'm searchin' for the neck bites
How many people will stress I'm one of the best mics?
Multimilli's you guessed right
One of the pioneers, I am here, nevеr lookin' at no dyin’ years
Rhymin’ I'm in shinin’ clear, when I gеt to goin', they cryin' tears
Of happiness lovin' rapitty-rappy shit
That be smackin’ these tacky kids, blastin' trash and be that remiss
When it comes to livin' legends, givin' dead ends to forbidden revvin', of a spittin' peasant that wanna fit in beggin'
But inadequate rappers'll never sit in heaven
For the long haul, song fall
Look around he gone y'all, wrong call
He was in a zone, all blown, dawg
(The industry) Dong saw his grown drawls (Got 'em)
Hopefully they got they money where it's supposed to be
Sittin' hella heavy if he didn't spend it totally
I can do whatever when I get up on the pen and pad
I meant it when I said I was a pro to be, bliss soulfully
Hella percussion I give when I'm bussin' and really that's slow to me
Slow it down, I throw this flow around
Then the women get freaky like the beasties they wanna hold it now
Hit it 'cause my roguish style
And when I get into ya, I be what's meant for ya
Flippin' again for ya, Tech is the emperor, I be the coldest pal
Still in the conversation, and my bombs are shakin'
On your station, onward racin' and I didn't ponder waitin'
To get up in this being a fixture, that everybody will lift up
And nobody will diss ya, and get away with it
They get it, victory is far fathomed
We don't play wit' it, spray quidick
History the dark has 'em
I done been around for the rise and fall of a lot of y'all's heart spasms and still standin', so when it say hopefully and hope when I know it's lightweight sarcasm
[Chorus: Garrett Raff]
Hopefully, hopefully, I'm in your head
I hope that you don't forget that I'm
Still right here
Still right here
Still right here, here
I'm still right here

[Verse 2: X-Raided]
They tried to block my Shyne here
“Godfather Buried Alive” here
I had an indeterminate sentence, never-endin', I was meant to live the “Life of Pi” here
Heard a man cryin' about the five years he had to do and I was traumatized here
Never goin' home, lost and all alone, wonderin' how to survive here
Release date felt like a light year
Released hate 'cause I had to fight here
But these days, feelin' hella bright here
I walk in a room, it's hella light here
No e-scape
I had to thrive here
Become the rose that grew from the concrete
Trapped in a cage
Fasted and prayed 'til the day my blessin' grew upon me
Feelin' melancholy
I ain't talkin' crip when I say I had the blues upon me
I was the man with contraband, smokin' sticks, medicated movin' like a Zombie
My biggest fear was still being here on the day that they buried mommy
Now it's Strange how I'm home on a song with Tech N9ne spittin' like a Tommy Gun
No Rocky V
The underdog shall win, who's gonna stop me? None
Hockey ties
Shootouts and sudden death, you niggas should pro'ly run
I've be-gun
Spittin' like I've been possessed
I'm gonna need an exorcism, projectin' venom
The only outcome I ever knew was either death or prison
Unexpected to live beyond 25, but I rejected the vision
Invested in livin' a better life for the days that I slept in prison
Acceptin' wisdom from those who wanna see me win when I step in the buildin'
With no exceptions, I'm chillin', my only concern is collectin' millions
Duckin' rodents and reptilian henchmen
Fuck opponents and niggas that's squealin'
Dark Man X-Raided
The anti-hero - and a penitent villain
Doper than DMT, out here raising hell like DMC
You're finally famous 'cause TMZ resuscitated your career like EMTs
Hardest nigga from my city for years
Nobody fuckin' with me - none of my peers
Benefited from my blood, off of my sweat, off of my tears
Had to get Bizzy, it was Krayzie
Had to Wish for this I couldn't be Layzie
Had to Thug it out but my mind, spirit and Flesh-N-Bone been in Harmony lately
[Chorus: Garrett Raff]
Hopefully, hopefully, I'm in your head
I hope that you don't forget that I'm
Still right here
Still right here
Still right here, here
I'm still right here

[Verse 3: Simeon]
You just live here, I've been here
Standin' strong like Taj Mahal
War trophies in Senegal
Pyramids in Machu Picchu and Gaza
I'm the voice, and ahead of the father
Melanin elevated, Kansas City marinated
Got on the grill, half baked and Sunkist
So yeah, I carry that heat
That everlastin' flame
Check the temperature, when they say my name
At home and overseas
You wanna get known so bad that you Alicia Keys
But I'm still right here
Forever like hieroglyphics on limestones and bedrock
My lyrics scripture, not a TED talk
It's me, you walked on water and land mines
Blew up, I never blown away
I got now, later, and forever
But some of y'all be gone today
But I'm still here
[Chorus: Garrett Raff]
Hopefully, hopefully, I'm in your head
I hope that you don't forget that I'm
Still right here
