Thank you Kevin Alexie for having me push this out. Yall follow him. Release Jan 17th “Still Here” is a raw country-rap record built from real life, real faith, and real survival. The song tells the story of growing up under emotional pressure, carrying the weight of harsh words, broken family moments, and the scars they leave behind. It follows the journey of trying to outrun the past, joining the Navy in search of purpose, and discovering that inner battles don’t disappear just because the scenery changes. At its core, “Still Here” confronts depression, suicidal thoughts, and the moments where hope feels completely out of reach. The lyrics reflect honest conversations with God during panic and silence, and the realization that grace often shows up quietly — pulling you back when you don’t think you deserve it. The song also speaks to blue-collar life: long hours, hard labor, and the pressure of providing for a family while fighting personal demons. It addresses spiritual warfare head-on — the devil attacking the mind, the marriage, and the home — and draws a firm line of protection over family, faith, and children. Musically, “Still Here” blends country melodies with rapid-fire rap verses, symbolizing the contrast between reflection and resilience. The chorus stands as a declaration of survival: not just making it through, but standing strong because of faith. “Still Here” isn’t about perfection or image. It’s about endurance. It’s about falling, getting back up, and recognizing that survival itself is proof of God’s presence. This song is for anyone who’s been to the edge, fought their way back, and can say with certainty — I’m still here. Verse 1 This is my life in a mic when the lights went dim, Back when hope felt thin and my faith went limp, Mama’s words hit hard like a vice-grip sin, Every “you ain’t shit” left a slice in skin Stepdad pressure, doors slammed, bags packed, I learned quick how abandonment backtracks Joined the Navy tryna outrun my past fast, Still found demons where the stars and the flags sat Standing on the edge with my head full of static, One bad thought from a permanent damage Talked to God through a throat full of panic, Said “If You’re there, man, You better answer” Silence loud, then a pull from below, Like a hand through the dark sayin’ “Son, let’s go” Pulled me up from a pit I was stuck in slow, That’s grace — not luck — gotta let that be known Pre-Chorus I don’t brag about pain, I survive it Every scar got a story behind it If I’m breathing, then God aligned it Tried to quit — but I’m still defiant Chorus I’m still here, yeah I shouldn’t be Had one foot in the grave but God stood with me Every chain that they put on me Broke loose when the truth cut through me I’m still here, yeah I fought that fight Dark so deep I forgot daylight If I fall, I get back upright Still here — yeah, that’s God’s might Verse 2 Blue-collar backbone, grease on my hands, Crane tech miles on these overworked plans They talk from a screen like they know who I am, Never lived check-to-check in a nowhere land I don’t play politics, I play survival, While suits debate lives from high-rise towers I was clockin’ long shifts, fightin’ inner rivals, Tryna keep my kids fed, marriage on fire Devil circled my house like a shark in water, Hit my mind, then my wife, then thought he caught us But faith ain’t loud — it’s armor, father, Not today, not the kids, not a single daughter I don’t threaten — I testify clear, Every line I write got a reason it’s here If you feel this pain, let me make it sincere: If I lived through that hell, you can live through fear Chorus I’m still here, yeah I shouldn’t be Had one foot in the grave but God stood with me Every chain that they put on me Broke loose when the truth cut through me I’m still here, yeah I fought that fight Dark so deep I forgot daylight If I fall, I get back upright Still here — yeah, that’s God’s might Bridge I don’t glamorize scars, I explain ‘em Every verse is a prayer when I say ‘em If the devil want war, I won’t play him I been dead in my head — couldn’t break him Final Verse This ain’t flex rap, this is facts written fast, This is trauma with cadence, redemption in wrath I ain’t chasing a crown, I’m erasing the past Turning pain into proof, putting faith in the craft If they say I’m a problem, I’ll own it, okay, I was lost, now I’m found — different road, same faith If my voice hit your chest and it open a way, Then the hell I survived wasn’t wasted pain Outro Still here. And I ain’t done.more
