I'm Still Up Lyrics

Mister Alexander Star

Yo

Why we livin' in the belly of the beast

Bellies yellin' cuz we barely get to eat

Tryna stretch it but our neck is on a leash

Can we even make it to heaven in peace

Our energy will never be deceased

I'm a legend - that's my elevator speech

Levitatin' cuz I'm resonatin' heat

Open up and let it ventilate at least yo

In a hurricane my city loses power

You should plug into my heart it's pumpin' generator beats

Every other person got they own opinion of how to sell out to make it

But you'll never get a peace of mine

M-I-N-D

I was on the road when I was like 17

Gotta be in shape when u runnin' after dreams

If you turn em into goals you can turn em into things - that's real

Every day I wear the same jeans - that's real

Sharpshooter, I don't need a beam - that's real

Light skin nigga wit the RnB voice

Killin' everybody on a 16 - that's real

Look I ain't really mean to call myself a nigga

Cuz you know I'm not a nigga but you still know what I mean

All I'm really tryna do is climb up in the game

So I finally get to dive into the income stream

I'm a real man

Tell ya once again

I'm a real man so you betta recognize it

Music ain't a hobby for me this is my profession

If you want me in a session gotta give me a deposit yuh

I rock the beat til it's nauseous

Get the money and I'm runnin' like an ostrich

If it's levels to this show me where the boss is

Need sleep and I'm yawnin'

But I'm still up

I'm gettin' tired but I'm still up

I think the devil's tryna kill us

But every night I'm gettin' realer

I'm gettin' realer

I'm gettin' realer

I'm still up

I'm very tired but I'm still up

I pray to G-d to keep my will up

Cuz I can feel it gettin' realer

It's gettin' realer

That's why I'm still up

Still up and I'm grindin' for the paper

Lil' sick so I'm takin' Echinacea

Could be better but I'm neva a complainer

Cuz I'm livin' what alotta folks pray for

I ain't trippin' on no nigga who's a hater

Too busy fillin' up my calendar in Asia

Shyt we ain't even United in the States bruh

If we ain't gettin’ better what I need to stay for?

It's kinda funna how I travel round the planet tryna manage independent

I ain't always have clout

I ain't had no money all I got is good folks

Who believe in what I'm doing even when I have doubts

Blood sugar too low bout to pass out

Stress level too high finna spaz out

Foot up on the gas mash out

Til' they yellin 'man down' cuz I couldn't find a better path out

Never that

Thinkin' that I'm weak - never that

Thinkin' I'm asleep - never that

Thinkin' I'll be runnin' from you niggas

Just because you got some muscle

And them other niggas settle for defeat - never that

Kickin' up my feet I'm in a 'Lac

I ain't smokin' on no black

But I'm puffin' on a medicinal pack

Girl I gotta go and get the bag

I don't want you to be sad

Cuz I promise I'll be witchu in a flash

Chasing opportunity is whatchu gotta do to make it thru

But now and then you're gonna sacrifice sanity

Fame is a jungle and it's crowded on the bottom

So I'm tryna find a way that I can make it to the canopy

Can't slip when u runnin' wit tha big dogs

Can't trip when u jumpin' over pitfalls

Get chips then I follow wit tha dip sauce

Guard me and get crossed

My nigga I'm still up

I'm gettin' tired but I'm still up

I think the devil's tryna kill us

But every night I'm gettin' realer

I'm gettin' realer

I'm gettin' realer

I'm still up

I'm very tired but I'm still up

I pray to G-d to keep my will up

Cuz I can feel it gettin' realer

It's gettin' realer

That's why I'm still up
