Illmaculate - Still Standing

Second single from Illmac's upcoming "Still Standing" project, produced by Chase Moore. 

And the award goes to......



LYRICS:

Verse 1

I know I might be tripping, I just feel like I'm the GOAT
I know, I know that I'm a bit bias
Shit, I ride my dick so often I don't got no room for bitches or these dick riders
Fuck these dick riders
I'm my biggest critic and my biggest fan, I swear that life's a trip
You want a life like this?
Shit, one minute I'm like "God damn man, now you's a cold a piece"
Next one I'm like "I ain't shit"
Hold up, I'm the shit
Inner conflict, failure and what's been accomplished
We just on two different planes now, who's in the cockpit?
Best friends that never talk, chicks I get involved with
Every win took several losses, the lessons daunting
Trying to evil backwards, stepping forward 
What you jealous for?
Told her water don't flow upward and to never force it
Steady courses over rocky roads, heading toward them
Heart and soul speak volumes to me but my head ignores them

Hook
If they were giving Oscars out for acting like you give a fuck
Then I would probably be a nominee
and I would have an Oscar now for acting like I give a fuck
I'm sorry but no apologies
If they were giving Oscars out for acting like you give a fuck
Then you would probably be a nominee
I would probably have an Oscar now for acting like I gave a fuck
I'm sorry but not apologies

Verse 2
Got us playing the background, yeah, that role
Camped out in this glass house as we cast stones
Glass full but my hat low, there's a side that I can't show
Like the passcode on my trap phone, I'm an asshole
Look at what we've become
I wonder why she so fragile, she wonder why I'm so numb
I wonder why I'm concerned, focused on getting this bread
She wonder why I'm so extra, don't let it get to your head
I said, I know we started on the low, right
But somewhere along the road we must have lost control
Made a movie called Heart and Soul
About someone that lost them both, who played the starring role?

Hook

Verse 3
Recently your moods seem to be confused
even if your lips don't move your wounds speak to me the truth
I think our frequencies are skewed
We go in circles, keep me in the loop
Jesus please excuse the evil deeds we do
She should probably get an Oscar for the best performance, uh huh
You should probably get an Oscar for the best performance, 
I see you, I see you

Intro (Bobby Bucher):
You ain't give me nothing but I'm still standing here
You ain't feed me nothing but I'm still standing here

VERSE 1 (illmac):

Blessings made me grateful, hardship that I go through
Failures made me hungry, success has made me hopeful
Habits made me stagnant but women made me feel high
Demons made me bitter but angels made me realize
Ego made me feel bigger than my city, had to leave
had to check my ego, that was baggage with a travel fee
fighting made me peaceful, learning made me teach you
Same love I gave you, that's the same love I leave you
The block made me, my pops made me,
them lil charges them cops gave me 
throw shots, them shots made me
them brawls at the park made me
caught fade, got my shit rocked then fought daily
spit like Doc Dre n Pac raised me
Biggie made me hypnotized, Hovah made me throw up Roc
Bitches made me empathize, then they made a rolling rock
40 made a game spitter, Shady made a monster
then God made me choose when the Devil made an offer 
yeah

HOOK (Bobby Bucher):
You ain't give me nothing but I'm still standing here
You ain't feed me nothing but I'm still standing here
And you can take it all away, but you can never take my soul
you can take it all away, I did that on my own

VERSE 2 (illmac):

I been about it, they falsify while I'm real about it
Fuck what you heard, fuck what you feel about it
I laugh my way to the bank pocketing bus passes
Ironic, getting cuffed is getting fucked backwards
I got it, demons get acknowledged
Don't mistake my silence but the studio's my solace
I blew out the flame watched the cig smoking
Cracked a lid open, yeah I been on one
That's shit I been knowing
First met you, got chills. use to think it meant something
Maybe that's just you, on my grave tiptoeing
See the world in faded colors, call log of faded numbers
Ain't feeling jaded the feelings gone, I make another
take another shot, roll another wood make another song, fill another void
While I bare it all
Miss another call, break another heart, build another wall when there's one destroyed
I swear to God that...

HOOK (Bobby Bucher):
You ain't give me nothing but I'm still standing here
You ain't feed me nothing but I'm still standing here
And you can take it all away, but you can never take my soul
you can take it all away, I did that on my own

I'm still standing here...
I'm still standing here...
I'm still standing here...
and you can take it...

LYRICS:

check your watch

HOOK

shit is timeless
got the gas for the mileage
eyelids heavy as the grind is
dollar signs in my iris
got me going through trials i ain’t leaving i’m a flight risk

shit is timeless
got the gas for the mileage
eyelids heavy as the grind is
crown of thorns i’m your highness
got me going through trials i ain’t leaving i’m a flight risk

VERSE

grass growing spot serpents with no spine
jab throwing dodging bullets from both sides
at the end of my rope cutting some close ties
try to dig up dirt on me just unearthed a gold mine
drag my name through the mud cause i was raised in it
go head and dig me a grave i’ll even lay in it
you’ll be taking my place soon as i wake in it
to appreciate love you take the hate with it
how you expecting to shine unless the shade with it
but me and them ain’t the same til I say different
took the chain once took a loss though
took the hard road pray for a lost soul
paint pictures this aint picasso
van gogh when i pass ill probably die broke
i took the long way took the stairs up
to show the scars on my skin this shit ain’t airbrushed

HOOK

VERSE 2

ain’t a loyal friend in a life of crime
the stab wound is still fresh right beside my spine
lost a loyal woman still feel like you’re mine
numb breaking two hearts at once for the price of mine
fans pigeon hole me and it hinders growth
but my own self perception is what limits most
look up in the mirror i had this shit squeded 
relection look so good i let it switch views
lot of people sleeping let em hit snooze
just blew the kiss of death only times my lips move
snakes are on my head like medusas weave
reaper in the background of my lucid dreams
devil on my shoulder and i can’t resist him
so the angel on the other’s feeling pesismistic
people switching on me while these bitches on me
if i see the pussy twice shit is glitching on me
hustle from an early age stressful
desert eagle don’t let the bird of prey catch you
good and evil don’t her flirty ways tempt you
lil classy lil ratchet thats my 38 special

HOOK

flight risk, im guilty as charged
guilty as

(repeat) 4x
