Still Standing

(album: Godfather II - 2018)

[Sharlene Klarice:]
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Lord, I...
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

[Wiley:]
I lost my confidence
And got it back
Had chart success
It was fake, though, I should have kicked back
I weren't chasing the art
I was chasing the cheque, slacking
Now I see clear for real, let's get it cracking
Eskiboy's back in
Yeah, I'm back in town, back in town
Mapping sounds, we start trends off
Got girls like an Ibiza send-off
If man go broke, gotta go to work
And do hours, no one to lend off
Plus, man don't wanna lend
Eediat war, man don't wanna send
Man rep ends that they can't defend
If it goes too far with two top dons
Then they can't be friends
Been here for a minute so I see it how it is
Man survive well, though, being how it is
Is it love? Is it friends?
Or is it us being in the music biz?
I let 'em know learnt all they taught me
Flicking through photos that were took by Courtney
Everything I do now, I embrace it
Any opportunity I see, I take it

[Sharlene Klarice:]
Think we know the business
Now it's time I run things my way
Flip your coin and place your bets
On your marks, get ready, set, go
Making waves, I'm due to splash
Backstroke to the cash
I deserve it
Making waves, I'm due to splash
Backstroke to the cash, I

[Breeze:]
Road keeps pulling me back
Need a plan to get back on track
Been slacking, these things happen
But I've got a potion that'll cover the cracks
Put things in motion
Tell the boss that I need a promotion
If he pipes up, tell him "relax
Look my life up, it's in the facts"
Spit lyrical wax
Not one of these guys that talk in fiction
Spit from the heart with conviction
Still hot in the winter like Blitzen
When I get back on the track
They won't know when it hits 'em
And when they stop doing the bits
Not a thing in the world that might fix 'em

[Sharlene Klarice:]
Think we know the business
Now it's time I run things my way
Flip your coin and place your bets
On your marks, get ready, set, go
Making waves, I'm due to splash
Backstroke to the cash
I deserve it
Making waves, I'm due to splash
Backstroke to the cash, I

Sometimes I wonder how I'm still here
How am I still standing here?
I wonder how I'm standing here
How am I still standing here?
