They told me that I vanished. They told me that I had it. They told me that I'm gone. I told them don't panic when you've done it this long and you've seen magic and you know it won't kill you even when the whole world doubts it. This is my moment. They can't take my talent. They can't take my stripes. They can't erase my hours. I'm from the underground. Anything above ground is a mountain. I'm done trying to impress anybody but the heavens where I'm headed. You don't get to hold on to your flowers. I am in my zone. Eyes on the throne. 20k deep. Better pull out your phones. Turning the arena to believers. Every time I hit the ceiling ain't nobody ever touching my show. Look at where we started. Look at where we got to. Almost OD'd that night in the hospital. Wasn't gonna die. More life in the arsenal. Got another shot to pull off the impossible. There's no need to cry for me. I'm a fighter. Fighter. You can't take my voice from me. I will rise up. Rise up. So what are you waiting for? I ain't ready to die yet. The pain is where faith is birthed. Are you alive yet? Are you alive yet? Are you alive? On my grave, what quote will be etched in? Never played the game to be a contestant. Never joined the league to ride benches. The winds hit different when they don't expect it. Yeah. And they ain't got it like me. Got my own Nikes. No Nike ID. And I ain't trying to stop, man. But my logo went over the jump, man. I remember all I had was a bus pass. Selling CDs to make a couple of bucks back. And now I'm up in meetings and you better believe me. Now that we got the arena, the Sonics making a comeback. I'm not a businessman. I got children, man. I treat my city like it is my fam. Till the residency gets a building, man. Think I'm playing about, man. But that is my plan. You know what 50,000 feels like. When you question, is this real life? The money doesn't buy happiness. That's facts. Till you take what you made and decide to give it back. There's no need to cry for me. I'm a fighter. Fighter. You can't take my voice from me. I will rise up. Rise up. So what are you waiting for? I ain't ready to die yet. The pain is where faith is found. Are you alive yet? Are you alive yet? Are you alive yet? I was supposed to be a one hair ringer. Now I got too many rings and not enough fingers. Keep doing my thing, they keep chasing their way. Thinking that they're gonna be the one to outpace age. I must got Mick Jagger DNA. Rolling stone bags, pre-check, no TSA. I'll be 78, SM58 in my face. Like who wants to go next? Nobody's touching my stage. They head tripping like a b-boy head spinning. I bench press the industry and I deadlift it. It's been written, I've been running it. It's been a minute, been done it. I bet you a hundred that I've been winning. The Benz tinted, it's been vintage. Yeah, Benz did it. The crib I live in is like Ben Stiller's. An evening in my house, a night at the museum. Trophies, plaques all over and the view's decent. At the end of the day, it's like who needs it? Player on player, I gotta keep competing. Keep dreaming, won't settle for ***. It isn't sport, it's my life. I'm the champion, ***, I'm done. There's no need to cry for me. I'm a fighter. Fighter. You can't take my voice from me. I will rise up. Rise up. So what are you waiting for? I ain't ready to die yet. The pain is within this world. Are you alive yet? Are you alive yet? Are you alive? Are you alive? Are you alive? Are you alive?
