T.I. - No Matter What

Never have you seen
a more devine southern rapper
with a swag like mine
facin' all kind of time
but smile like im fine
brag with such passion
and shine without tryin'
Believe me, pain is 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 said even the greatest gotta suffer some time
so I huff and puff rhymes lyrics so sick with 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 blanc period
wheter I still live in the hood or just visit
whatever you can do in the hood I done, did it
thats why the dope boys and the misfits feel it
this still the city long as TIP living

I aint dead (nah)
I aint done (nah)
I aint scared (of what)
I aint run (from who)
but still I stand (yeah)
No matter what VA here I am (yeah)
no matter what remember
I aint break (never)
I aint fold (never)
They hate me mo' (so)
But yeah I know (haha)
and here I go
no matter what shawty here I go
no matter what

You let the blog sites and the magazines tell it
im sure to be in jail until 2027
rather see me in this cell
instead of this new McLaren
God will take you to hell, just to get you to heaven
so even though its 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 aint planned it
all you can do is handle it, worst thing you can do is panic
use it to your advantage avoid insanity, manage to conquer
every obstacle, make impossible possible
even when winning is illogical, losing is still far from optional
they wanna see you shot up in the hospital
but when life throw punches block the counter like a boxer do
been locked inside me casa to long
I did a song to make it known that the king lives on (pimpin) I aint dead (nah)
I aint done (nah)
I aint scared (of what)
I aint run (from who)
but still I stand (yeah)
No matter what VA here I am (yeah)
no matter what remember
I aint break (never)
I aint fold (never)
They hate me mo' (so)
But yeah I know (haha)
and here I go
no matter what shawty here I go
no matter what

Even in solitude there is still no hotter dude
i show you how to do, what to do when you aint got a clue
all you do is follow dudes, sound like alot of dudes
however whatever storm make it out without a bruise
I understand why, now with my hands tied
they take shots, cause if Im out than its a landslide
but revenge is best served as a cold dish
and suckers will get served better now this
guess it was understood for me it was over with
but i dont quit, if you aint noticed yet
they couldnt wait to say goodnight shawty so
they try to rhyme, act and look like shawty
go get a bet from Toomp and make a hook like shawty
before you know it Im back, what did 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 than you cant fear
wonder how I face years and still chilling?
Easy let go and let god deal with it you digg'

I aint dead (nah)
I aint done (nah)
I aint scared (of what)
I aint run (from who)
but still I stand (yeah)
No matter what VA here I am (yeah)
no matter what remember
I aint break (never)
I aint fold (never)
They hate me mo' (so)
But yeah I know (haha)
and here I go
no matter what shawty here I go
no matter what
