CHANT (feat. Tones And I)

[00:09.669] They told me that I vanished
[00:11.733] They told me that I had it
[00:13.875] They told me that I'm gone
[00:16.027] I told 'em don't panic
[00:18.316] When you've done it this long
[00:20.279] And you've seen magic
[00:22.564] And you know it won't kill you
[00:24.278] Even when the whole world doubts it
[00:26.977] This is my moment
[00:28.907] They can't take my talent
[00:31.017] They can't take my stripes
[00:32.953] They can't erase my hours
[00:35.406] I'm from the underground, anything above ground is a mountain
[00:38.190] I'm done tryna impress anybody but the Heavens where I'm headed
[00:40.726] You don't get to hold on me your flowеrs
[00:42.573] I am in my zone, eyes on thе throne
[00:44.714] 20k deep, better pull out your phones
[00:46.865] Turnin' the arena to believers every time I hit the ceiling
[00:49.260] Ain't nobody ever touchin' my show
[00:51.121] Look at where we started, look at what we got to
[00:53.328] Almost OD'd that night in the hospital
[00:55.428] Wasn't gonna die, more life in the arsenal
[00:57.550] Got another shot to pull off the impossible
[00:59.019] There's no need to cry for me
[01:01.567] I'm a fighter, fighter
[01:07.725] You can't take my voice from me
[01:10.121] I will rise up, rise up
[01:15.958] So what are you waiting for?
[01:20.000] I ain't ready to die yet?
[01:24.603] The pain is where faith is born
[01:28.850] Are you alive yet?
[01:31.335] Are you alive yet?
[01:33.311] Are you alive?
[01:34.931] On my grave, what quote will be etched in?
[01:36.876] Never played the game to be a contestant
[01:38.984] Never joined the league to ride benches
[01:40.922] The wins hit different when they don't expect it
[01:43.527] Yeah, and they ain't gotta like me
[01:44.907] Got my own Nikes, no Nike ID
[01:47.998] And I ain't trying to stunt, man
[01:49.804] But my logo went over the Jumpman
[01:51.899] I remember, all I had was а bus pass
[01:54.004] Selling CD's to make a couple of bucks back
[01:55.952] And now I'm up in the meetings and you better believe me
[01:57.759] Now that we got the arena, the Sonics making а come back
[02:00.826] I'm not а businessman, I got children, man
[02:02.563] I treat my city like it is my fam
[02:04.641] Until the residency gets a building man
[02:06.406] Think I'm playing 'bout mayor but that is my plan
[02:09.472] You know what 50 thousand feels like?
[02:11.537] When you question, "Is this real life?"
[02:13.317] The money doesn't buy happiness, that's facts
[02:14.921] Till you take what you made and decide to give it back like that
[02:16.197] There's no need to cry for me
[02:18.748] I'm a fighter, fighter
[02:24.565] You can't take my voice from me
[02:27.180] I will rise up, rise up
[02:33.139] So what are you waiting for?
[02:37.192] I ain't ready to die yet?
[02:41.733] The pain is where faith is born
[02:46.070] Are you alive yet?
[02:48.390] Are you alive yet?
[02:50.400] Are you alive?
[02:52.038] I was supposed to be a one hit ringer
[02:53.904] Now I got too many rings and not enough fingers
[02:55.962] Keep doing my thing, they keep chasing the wave
[02:57.998] Thinking that they're gonna be the one to outpace age
[03:00.459] I must got Mick Jagger DNA
[03:02.154] Rolling Stone bags, pre-check, no TSA
[03:04.286] I'll be seventy-eight, SM58 in my face
[03:06.359] Like, who wants to go next? Nobody's touching my stage
[03:09.008] They head trippin, like a B-Bоу head spinning
[03:11.168] I bench press the industry and I deadlift it
[03:13.195] It's been written, I been running, it's been a minute
[03:15.200] Been done it, I bet you a hundred that I've been winning
[03:17.584] The Benz tinted, it's been vintage, yeah Ben did it
[03:20.119] The crib I live in is like Ben Stillers
[03:21.817] An evening at my house, а night at the museum
[03:23.970] Trophies, plaques all over and the views decent
[03:26.065] At the end of the day, it's like who needs it?
[03:28.348] Play on player, I gotta keep competing
[03:30.567] Keep dreaming, won't settle for shit
[03:32.053] lt isn't sport, it's my life, run the championship, I'm gone
[03:33.240] There's no need to cry for me
[03:35.870] I'm a fighter, fighter
[03:41.715] You can't take my voice from me
[03:44.225] I will rise up, rise up
[03:50.205] So what are you waiting for?
[03:54.225] I ain't ready to die yet?
[03:58.709] The pain is where faith is born
