Still There
Shyheim Lyrics

What up boo, how life treatin ya girl
Starting the letter, asking how the recipient is doing

Hopefully you're takin care of yourself out in the world
Concerned for the recipient's well-being

As for me, I'm mainting in this packed hell hole
Describing his own situation being in prison

Hopefully in the year 2000 Big Kane'll be home
Hoping his friend will be released from prison by the year 2000

My old school crew frontin on me cept for a few
Saying that most of his old friends are not in touch with him anymore

It's a shame that jail had to make me feel the way I do
Expressing sadness that incarceration has impacted him negatively

But it's all good, enough for me what's up wit you
Saying that despite his troubles, he is still checking in on the recipient

You don't write or come and visit me like you used to
Noticing that the recipient has not been in touch as often as before

What's the problem huh Why all of a sudden you dissapearin
Asking why the recipient has become distant

Now that I need you the most you actin like you don't care and
Feeling let down by the recipient's lack of support

It hurts my feelings but life must continue
Admitting that it is painful but recognizing that life goes on

I heard that Big Mark died please don't say this shit is true
Learning that a friend has died and hoping it's not true

And don't get caught up in no bullshit and get sicked up
Giving advice to the recipient to avoid trouble

How is my seeds doin I know they're crazy big by now
Asking about how his children are doing

Tell 'em daddy loves 'em no matter what the fuck goes down
Expressing love to his children and promising to always be there for them

And Love Dark ha, he's a dead man walkin for talkin
Threatening someone named Love Dark for talking about him

To Jiggy Jake I'm puttin him in a coffin
Threatening someone named Jiggy Jake by saying he's going to kill him

Ay yo I'm vexed so Ima end this little letta
Deciding to end the letter because of frustration

So take care of yourself for worst or for fuckin betta
Wishing the recipient all the best

All I do is party and bullshit
Describing his current lifestyle of partying and doing not much else

Fuck big chicks that's mad thick
Saying he is sleeping with big girls

Roll through the big city
Driving around the city

In BM's and Cruiser Land's
Driving fancy cars

But damn, it ain't the same without my fam
Acknowledging that he misses his family and friends

On New Years I drink beers and bust off heat
Talking about his New Year's celebration, drinking and shooting his gun

I'm in this little street doin by any means to eat
Saying he will do whatever it takes to survive

You gotta get up get out and rob suntin
Encouraging his friends to rob someone to make some money

For gold chains, rings, watches, diamond studs and leathaz
Listing the things they can rob for

My peoples one love ya'll stay bugged
Sending love to his friends and encouraging them to stay strong

Don't crimp your style none cause we thugs..foreva
Saying that they should stay true to themselves as they will always be thugs

I need somebody there when it's hard kid oh yeah yeah
Admitting that he needs someone to lean on during tough times

When they bring the ruckus to me
When he is faced with violence or trouble

You're my whole wide world
Saying that the recipient is everything to him
