I've been here for a period of time So long that my brain has gone delirious inside I think back on all the years that I've survived Holding back the tears that keep appearing in my eyes But now I'm yesterday's news And I'm tomorrow's promise but I've got my mince pies Open wide trying to visualize devils in disguise Devz I'm like Picasso cause I've been through every shade of blue I'm walking under rainy skies but the flame never died It stayed alive cause I was made to ignite Like dynamite I'm from the cold with heavy night I'm riding tight notice flows slip and slide Like a tire in the snow cause there ain't no grip on ice I'm cold in the Moscow and it's minus 29 So welcome to my life, I've cleverly designed minds Lost souls just trying to live the higher life I've been here so long through the sadness and the blues But it's funny how I'm still here, With the government and yesterday's news I've been here so long through the sadness and the blues But it's funny how I'm still here, With the government and yesterday's news Devlin, I'm dangerous I'm dead guys And every week forgotten like yesterday's headlines I've been through the blues just like Elvis' best time But I ain't wearing suede shoes, I've just got the best rhymes I refuse to die, you could attempt to kill me twenty times But I'll still rise like I'm the day walker Wesley Snipes So let me stick my teeth into the game and bleed it dry When I witness blood seeking through his veins This has become apparent I've got a talent that these other rappers haven't So what would be the point of bloody keeping it in chains About my rhymes but when I'm talking about? So cut the conversation cause I've been lower rating Taking anything I'm pleasing taking off the aviation To a better place in time better for leaving this place behind I've been here so long, through the sadness and the blues But it's funny how I'm still here, With the government and yesterday's news I've been here so long, through the sadness and the blues But it's funny how I'm still here, With the government and yesterday's news I can't see no reason why I can't retain success I just need a real good time away from all this stress I can't see no reason why I can't retain success I just need a real good time away from all this stress I've been here so long, through the sadness and the blues But it's funny how I'm still here, With the government and yesterday's news I've been here so long, through the sadness and the blues But it's funny how I'm still here, With the government and yesterday's news
