A T R I E L - I'm Still Here Lyrics

I used to be a poet, yeah
In the back of a corner, oh yeah
I used to know everything, yeah, yeah
But lately I know nothing, ooh
I used to date a writer, oh yeah Made me climb a little higher, oh shit
I fell off my butthurt, yeah, yeah
I ended up in the desert

And you left me, so f*ck you
And you wish you had known what you do now
How long I've been here
Waiting for you to come around
I was just a kid, I didn't mean the shit I said, yeah, yeah
I was just a wild one waiting for the right f*cking present on Christmas

I was just the one that asked for love
I wish I knew
I'd find the right one
I was tortured and abused for so many years
Some people say
I've never recovered
Well, they're right, and I haven't But I'm still living, so it's time to pay
The price that living a life full of pain and misery entails

You can make the fun times last a teensy bit longer, yeah
You can take the punchlines out of the joke and work a little harder, yeah
You can make the most of the ounce of freedom the United Hate of America gives you
You can take your fist and punch the haters right back into the prison they trapped you

You can tell them, f*ck you, f*ck you
You don't have to take this shit no longer
You can go on the move, on the move
Work as hard as you wanna
Nobody can stop you, can stop you
From doing the things that you need to, you need to
I don't give a damn, say it louder I won't take anymore of this, say it prouder

I don't give a damn
I'ma be who I want
I'ma rebel against what you want me to be
Yeah, yeah, I'm never what they think
Hell to the f*ck, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
I won't be what you want me to be
So cut me out, cut me out
Cut all ties with me now, with me now
Cause I'm never gonna listen to the naysayers

I'm gonna be exactly who the f*ck I wanna be
I'm gonna do whatever the f*ck I wanna do
I wanna do, I wanna do
You can't tell me who
I'm gonna be
What I'm gonna do, what I'm gonna do
This world has broken and banished me a million times
And yet I'm still here
Choke on it, choke on it

Choke on the fact that
I'm still here
I don't give a damn, I don't give a damn
I don't give a damn, I sit down and play the piano
I don't give a damn, I don't give a damn, I don't know
What you want from me is never enough
So I'm done doing the people-pleasing routine

If it's f*ck me, it's f*ck you too
I don't give a shit
And I know one thing
We're not promised tomorrow
So I'm gonna live my life like I'm gonna die today
It's M-A-Y-K, get it right
