Still Here

[Verse 1] They haven’t killed me yet (get back) It wasn’t for lack of trying… Black ice backslider Bad man, track driver, bald tire Tested by the fire How many times did the light die in one year? Hundred fifty shows all Before the snow falls Lost touch with the phone calls I’ll never go home again Search the earth to further the curse Shepard the name Author the Word and murder the exchange The wages of sin they paid me in have made me rich Sick enough to drown in my own spit; Smother my own flame Strike a rock to light a spark in your cold heart & Suction my throat; Emcees will never equal the ether that Dolan wrote! Overachieving on Buddy Peace beats the overdose; The rapid-release, active ingredient… House of Bees vol. 2 that revelation thunderclap sequel shit! Creature-flick tenacity; dirt in my mouth… reappear! Up from the Underground Sum of all Fear Industry still fucked up Life still ain’t fair Rappers are still Trash and I’m still… [Hook] Still Here (Still Here) We. Go. No. Where Still Here (Still Here) You can kill the man but never the idea/Eyedea Still Here (Still Here) Still coming to you live from an Era of Fear (Still Here (Still Here) Happy New Year [Verse 2] By the grace of no God and a mountain of debt Tell ‘em I did what I could and took what I could get Whether or not they bother to follow the footsteps I’m not trying to guess My guest is overdue; I will set the table and sharpen a knife too Occupy Everything, do not move They claim that the game is half luck and half skill Their faces change shape, the bone structure reveals… Killing my own meals Keeping it so surreal Thirty Years War still on the battlefield Lightning, earthquake, living is deadly! My generation is apocalypse ready! Blizzard and hurricane, chained to the hunger pains We ain’t leaving; we ain’t scared! The end might be near but we’re still… [Hook] Put a fist in the air and leave it there [Verse 3] Doom said it: “Pay dues forever.” Truth with no edit, aches bruises effort Forty days of desert They tell me that you’re jealous My heart is in a hospital bed, I’m disconnected Diagnosed the day we dropped the ‘Earthmovers’ record The earth-moved away from my feet, the world ended He was facing down death when we met in the cancer ward The first words he said were: “Don’t you dare cancel the tour.” Told me to live for him. Made me to keep the flame Made me the man I am and gave me his own name I carry it like a cross, so everything that I say You can put it on my government and put it on my grave: The last of the ‘Bearhearts’ Who mastered a rare art And traveled near & far to mark the path of his tear-drops Never have what I lost Nothing be worth the cost Never be unbroken Never have him there But so long as I breathe air B. Dolan’s still here Long as I breathe air B. Dolan’s still here Long as I’m breathing air B. Dolan’s still here Rest in power to our Father You’re still here [Hook]
