I Remain Songtext
von Verb T

Later
I′m awake
I'm awake
I′m dreaming
I'm dreaming

Aim for the sky, I'm taking flight
Man, I just wanna take my time

Shoulder stress and the weight on mine
Could probably damn near break your spine

I′m in another place when I write
Hand bleeding, holding the blade of a knife
Escaping the night, cloaked in the dark
Running in the puddles, jump over the bars
Demons breathing down my neck
I′m hearing screaming sound effects
My heart is beating out my chest


Spitting blood, lay down to rest
Wrap me in a sheet and smoke me
'Cause I put the dope in dopey
Looking ropey at my shows
Then I rip up that stage like whoa
Holy smokes, Father, Son and Holy Ghost don′t know me

I'm OG though, blend into the scene like chameleons with an evil grin
I don′t need to win, I don't need to be rich
So I can′t lose, I'm just me when I spit
I was once up late lean with a spliff
Now I'm up at 6:15 with the kids
Burning a candle night and day
My mind feels like it′s microwaved
Tidal waves, fire rain
Die in flames, I remain

Yo
Yeah
Yeah
Yo
Check, check
Yo


I am then, I am now, I remain
Move with it, I don′t really need time away
Some are bowing out, others just hibernate
Through the happiness and pain, still I remain
I am then, I am now, I remain
Move with it, I don't really need time away
Some are bowing out, others just hibernate
Through the happiness and pain, still I remain

Well it′s the thirty-something back up off the couch again
'Round the bend and he′s here to take you down a peg
I steal your girl from your arm and take her out to Brecks

Get a steak baked for her, I am now the best
I'm in your head like a crown of thorns, sound of horns
Once I approach, who knows why you bow to yours
I found a ball made of crystal, that′s how I saw the future
Veins hooked up to a power source
To get me out of bed, you need a powder keg
Competition all pissing down their trouser legs
A pound of flesh, no more, no less
I seek vengeance, my head spins, jawbone tense

Hate built up but then I saw no sense
Holding on so I let go, meditate, elevate

Throw the shell away, never say never mate
On another level plane after I devastate

I am then, I am now, I remain
Move with it, I don't really need time away
Some are bowing out, others just hibernate
Through the happiness and pain, still I remain
I am then, I am now, I remain
Move with it, I don't really need time away
Some are bowing out, others just hibernate
Through the happiness and pain, still I remain
