Here To Stay

[Intro]

[Verse 1: Joe Black]
Sliding down memory lane where friends change to enemies, strange
Vain or lame tendencies, synergies slain
Defaming my name, I know it's paining you to see me claiming the game for my own it's a shame
I came for my own, ain't going home 'til I got the name and the throne
I aim for the dome if the chrome pops
Homie you should have known pops, cuz I'm the clone
Watch the drones flock to my stoning, just tell my story and know that I'm not alone
This was sewn by the mind of a mine
Never mind the time it took for me to look in books and find a clever line
Know I never severed ties on the climb, levered the game with the rhyme
A wise endeavor, now the treasure is forever mine
Lines measure up to divine, define pressure
I'm a sign from the shrine that will dine with the swine lesser
My prime is verbal oppressor, specter
With a fresher dress than you jesters could bless, I'm in the building y'all just pester the guests

[Hook: Jermaine Purifory]
I ain't going nowhere, been at it too long
So I'ma stay turning it up, burning it up
I won't stop 'til I reach where I gotta go, Oh
If you think that you can stop me I'm proving you wrong
Cuz I'm still holding it down, won't break me down
I'm here to let you know right now I'm here to stay

[Verse 2: Joe Black]
And better late than never
I'd wait forever for them heavenly gates to take me straight to the treasure of faith that I chose
I know they hate that I rose up, the great escaping the fake
Man they froze up like the lake in the winter
I'm flaking this winter break just to take it to Rio and cake
And we know the traits of a snake and a winner, or hero in the clothes of a hobo
Know the Glock's cocked like Robo Cop's rocking the logo pops
Throwing hot shots at your crop top Polos
And I do not hop in the low low bro, I roll solo
Deaded the duo like when Tony killed Manolo
This is thriller in Manilla, I'm the Ali of the colleagues
And I got a squally volley of (gunshot) to send at your trolly probably
From Raleigh to Memphis and down, renowned
I was sent from this town to vent relentless and mention that every cent that I've spend went to inventing this sound of ascension with intent to astound
I was meant for the crown or intervention

[Hook: Jermaine Purifory]
I ain't going nowhere, been at it too long
So I'ma stay turning it up, burning it up
I won't stop 'til I reach where I gotta go, Oh
If you think that you can stop me I'm proving you wrong
Cuz I'm still holding it down, won't break me down
I'm here to let you know right now I'm here to stay

I ain't going nowhere, been at it too long
So I'ma stay turning it up, burning it up
I won't stop 'til I reach where I gotta go, Oh
If you think that you can stop me I'm proving you wrong
Cuz I'm still holding it down, won't break me down
I'm here to let you know right now I'm here to stay
