Текст песни No Matter What - T.I.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, ayy

Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo
I say still I stand, ayy
Ayy, shawty here I am

Never have you seen in ya lifetime
A more divine southern rapper with a swag like mine
Facin' all kind of time, but smile like I'm fine
Brag with such passion and shine without tryin'

Believe me, pain's a small thing to a giant
I was born without a dime
Out the gutter, I climbed
Spoke my mind and didn't stutter one time
Ali say, even the greatest gotta suffer some time

So I huff and puff rhymes, lyrics so sick wit' it
Set the standard in Atlanta, how to get-get-get it
So you up-and-coming rappers wanna diss, just kill it
I'm officially the realest, point blank, period

Whether I still live in the hood or just visit
Whatever you can do in the hood, I done did it
That's why the dope boys and the misfits feel it
This still his city long as TIP livin', nigga

I ain't dead (Naw)
I ain't done (Naw)
I ain't scared (Of what?)
I ain't run (From who?)
But still I stand (Yeah)
No matter what people
Here I am, yeah, no matter what, remember

I ain't break (Never)
I ain't fold (Never)
They hate me more (So?)
Yeah, I know (Haha)
Here I go, yeah, no matter what shawty, here I go
No matter what shawty

You let the blog sites and the magazines tell it
I'm sure to be in jail 'til 2027
Rather see me in a cell
Instead of this new McLaren
God'll take you through hell just to get you to heaven

So even though it's heavy, the load I will carry
Grin and still bear it, win and still share it
Apologies to the fans, I hope you can understand it
Life can change ya directions
Even when you ain't planned it

All you can do is handle it
Worst thing you could do is panic
Use it to your advantage
Avoid insanity, manage to conquer
Every obstacle, make impossible possible
Even when winning's illogical
Losing's still far from optional

Yeah, they wanna see you shot up in the hospital
But, when life throw punches, block ya counter like a boxer do
Been locked inside, mi casa too long
I did a song to make it known that the King lives on, pimpin'

I ain't dead (Naw)
I ain't done (Naw)
I ain't scared (Of what?)
I ain't run (From who?)
But still I stand (Yeah)
No matter what people
Here I am, yeah, no matter what, remember

I ain't break (Never)
I ain't fold (Never)
They hate me more (So?)
Yeah, I know (Haha)
Here I go, yeah, no matter what shawty, here I go
No matter what shawty

Even in solitude, there's still no hotter dude
I show you how to do what you do, you ain't got a clue
All you do is follow dudes
Sound like a lotta dudes
I weather whatever storm
Make it out without a bruise

I understand why, now with my hands tied
They take shots 'cause if I'm out there it's a landslide
But revenge is best served as a cold dish
And suckas will get served nigga, no shit

Guess it was understood, for me it was over with
But I don't quit if you ain't notice yet
They couldn't wait to say good night shawty
So they can try to rhyme, act and look like shawty

Go get a beat from Toomp and make a hook like shawty
Before you know it I'm back, what it look like shawty?
I lost my partner and my daughter in the same year
Somehow I rise above my problems and remain here

Yeah, and I hope the picture painted clear
If your heart filled with faith then you can't fear
Wonder how I face years and I'm still chillin'?
Easy, let go and let God deal with it

I ain't dead (Naw)
I ain't done (Naw)
I ain't scared (Of what?)
I ain't run (From who?)
But still I stand (Yeah)
No matter what people
Here I am, yeah, no matter what, remember

I ain't break (Never)
I ain't fold (Never)
They hate me more (So?)
Yeah, I know (Haha)
Here I go, yeah, no matter what shawty, here I go
No matter what shawty
