Chant (feat. Tones And I) lyrics

• They told me that I vanished They told me that I had it They told me that I'm gone
  I told 'em 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 what 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 born
  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 wins hit different when they don't expect it
  Yeah, and they ain't gotta like me
  Got my own Nikes, no Nike ID
  And I ain't trying to stunt, man
  But my logo went over the Jumpman
  I remember, all I had was a bus pass
  Selling CD's to make a couple of bucks back
  And now I'm up in the meetings and you better believe me
  Now that we got the arena, the Sonics making a come back
  I'm not a businessman, I got children, man
  I treat my city like it is my fam
  Until the residency gets a building man
  Think I'm playing 'bout mayor but that is my plan
  You know what 50 thousand 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 like that

  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 born
  Are you alive yet?
  Are you alive yet?
  Are you alive?

  I was supposed to be a one hit ringer
  Now I got too many rings and not enough fingers
  Keep doing my thing, they keep chasing the wave
  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 seventy-eight, SM58 in my face
  Like, who wants to go next? Nobody's touching my stage
  They head trippin, like a B-Boy head spinning
  I bench press the industry and I deadlift it
  It's been written, I been running, 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 Ben did it
  The crib I live in is like Ben Stillers
  An evening at my house, a night at the museum
  Trophies, plaques all over and the views decent
  At the end of the day, it's like who needs it?
  Play on player, I gotta keep competing
  Keep dreaming, won't settle for shit
  It isn't sport, it's my life, run the championship, I'm gone

  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 born
  Are you alive yet?
  Are you alive yet?
  Are you alive?
  Are you alive?
  Are you alive?
