[Verse 1: Scarface]

Up early in the morning

Waken by the sound of my cell phone

Donny hathaway singing on the ringtone

Was a homie that I went to school with

Tellin me life wasn't shit to fool with

These young niggas steady dyin' over dumb shit

Fast money for your soul

Now your done with

You hear the gun click (gunshot)

Blood stains on the walls and carpet

Pain and the hardships

Of a father identifyin' his child

From a photo of the plan

With his brains blown out now

Lets rewind to where it all took place

Started off in math class early that day

Hey! Its high school

And everybodys tryin to earn a rep

And he gone gun shot a homie to death

The impossible is happenin

Children are left to make decisions

Do ya let 'em die or kill them urself?

[Chorus: Shateish]

As I look at my life..

Remembering where ive been

I may not have been here

Cuda been in the gutter

Drowning in my tears

I remember how hard it is on the block. (Yeahhhh)

Everytime you turn around somebody got shot..

Oooooh

But I'm still here

I'm still here

[Verse 2: Scarface]

Another homie got murdered in the dope house

Ass pocket full of money

Chillin' gettin' smoked out

Two shots hit him in his face when he blast it

Frame pictured

And its closed casket

This is so tragic

I see death on every block I turn

Its just not my turn

Live the same lifestyle

Cash money to burn

Weed blowin' steady slippin' in the darkest term

When it feels like real life

Knowin' is next

Rep to take it

Be the last left

Humble yourself

In slow-mo you see your wholse life flashin'

That second from the beginning

Back to the end and that lesson

Is nothin short of what a nigga expect

Livin' life like this

This is duly respect

And I refuse to give debt

[Chorus: Shateish]

As I look at my life..

Remembering where ive been

I may not have been here

Cuda been in the gutter

Drowning in my tears

I remember how hard it is on the block. (Yeahhhh)

Everytime you turn around somebody got shot..

Oooooh

But I'm still here

I'm still here

[Verse 3: Scarface]

Yeah I remember

We tatted are names on our arms for fun

Writin rest in piece for the dead and gone

Thats just me

And I ain't the one to stunt

But seems like im losing somebody every other month

Thats why I walk through the hood

Tryin' talk to the hood

But some niggas is lost in the hood

And we blind to that fact

That we actin' like they wanted us to act

White man versus black

Reason why I ain't vote for Barack is cause I love him

They gonna want him hanged after that

In god we trust

What? (what?)

Money or the life of a soldier

Sent to die in the war in a fight

That never should took place

Ameri-K-K-K

Used to be a great place (great place)

Now I guess we save face (save face)

John McCain hates niggas, (hates niggas)

On Martin Lutha King day. (hahahahaha)

Go Figure

[Chorus: Shateish]

As I look at my life..

Remembering where ive been

I may not have been here

Cuda been in the gutter

Drowning in my tears

I remember how hard it is on the block. (Yeahhhh)

Everytime you turn around somebody got shot..

Oooooh

But I'm still here

I'm still here
