Still ft. Parker Ellis Lyrics

It's a fight between the man I am and who I wanna be

The man I wanna be is armed with armor and piranha teeth

The man I am is scarred hiding peaking through the bars

I wish that they could stick together like some tar and marijuana leaves

Just wanna prove that I'm special

But am I

Just another brain in a vessel

There's another eight billion humans hanging by a thread

And they ask the same question when their body hits the bed

Yesterday I scrolled through texts on my phone

I needed some love I was feeling alone

I used to have friends but now where did they go

I guess they all changed

Then I realized

I'm the one who changed and I expected them to follow

I just took a bite of pride that I can't seem to swallow

I don't need to wallow man I need to get moving

Press play on the music, so soothing

When I feel frail

And my bones start to break

When my eyes fail

And my memory fades

Will I still be me

Will I still be me

Will I still be me

They say I got a story book life but we know how it ends

It's not an if, it's just a when

I hug my mom and smile but inside I feel clouded

Why's it feel like no one else thinks about it

I'm writing down this verse I hope I finish 'fore I perish

Grab a mic and press record and give 'em something they will cherish

When you think of me, just give it a listen

I'm making it my mission as if it will keep me living

Like religion or denial, it's kind of like dope

I don't like the truth ahead so I write music just to cope

Laying in bed but I can't seem to sleep

I grab the pen and some peppermint tea

I'm tryna find happiness while I'm still here

Maybe that's enough, the simple fact I'm still here

Like I'm tryna fill a pool with a hole in my hose

One day take the plunge while I'm holding my nose

When I feel frail

And my bones start to break

When my eyes fail

And my memory fades

Will I still be me

Will I still be me

Will I still be me
