[Intro]
Karltin
[Hook]
I was gonna knock me off yet I'm still here
Tried to put me in a coffin yet I'm still here
Like I almost waited too long yet I'm still here
Love it all, yeah, it's been gone yet I'm still here
Went the right and the wrong way yet I'm still here
Strugglin' every day yet I'm still here
Had to get me out the way, man yet I'm still here
Many brothers in the grave and yet I'm still here
[Verse 1]
No one knows how this life ends up
Tellin' stories of times I rise a lifetime ago, like I've been here before
No one knows the inner battles of man
Early mornin', lovin' on you, sayin' prayers and a kiss
It's time for work so I headed on in
And I'm gonna tell you the truth just hopin' that you can handle it
Unintelligible scramblings make ya make sense
Need decodin' device, a piece of paper and pencil
Or rollin' papers and ganja are a lifetime of adventure
My virtuoso is capturin' that in stories I've written
Sip the shine in the pines, that mason jar mafia
The lean tucked, let that sink in while you sippin' the jug
[Hook]
I was gonna knock me off yet I'm still here
Tried to put me in a coffin yet I'm still here
Like I almost waited too long yet I'm still here
Love it all, yeah, it's been gone yet I'm still here
Went the right and the wrong way yet I'm still here
Strugglin' every day yet I'm still here
Had to get me out the way, man yet I'm still here
Many brothers in the grave and yet I'm still here
[Verse 2]
Lord, give me understandin' and this 'cause I've been gettin' a little pissed at myself
A little off like a curse and prayer know it hurts, you feel like hurtin' yourself
Layin' out of work like old cousin Eddie or somethin'
You hit a bump in the road but you kept bumpin' and bumpin', bumpin'
Cottonmouth Kings bump to bump
Elephanta stay, bleed that crimson blood
Matter fact we all bleed the same, fam, what's up?
Matter fact we all bein' sane, down and up
Like a pushup every day, mashin' up
Heat it up, catch the steam through the worm
Filter that in your cup, let the moon shine burn
[Hook]
I was gonna knock me off yet I'm still here
Tried to put me in a coffin yet I'm still here
Like I almost waited too long yet I'm still here
Love it all, yeah, it's been gone yet I'm still here
Went the right and the wrong way yet I'm still here
Strugglin' every day yet I'm still here
Had to get me out the way, man yet I'm still here
Many brothers in the grave and yet I'm still here
