No Matter What (Explicit Album Version)

[00:-2.00]T.I. - No Matter What

[00:-1.00]

Never have you seen in ya lifetime

A more divine southern rapper with a swag like mine

Facin all kinda time but smile like I'm fine

Brag with such passion and shine without tryin

Believe me, pains 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 sometime

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 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 the city long as tip live it, listen

I ain't dead (nah) I ain't done(nah)

I ain't scared(of what), I ain't run(from who)

Still I stand (yeah)

No matter what VA here I am No matter what remember

I ain't break(never), I ain't fold(never)

They hate me more(so?)

Yeah I know, here I go

No matter what shortie, here I go

No matter what shortie

You let the blog sites and the magazines tell it

I'm showed to be jail til 2027

Rather see me in the cell then

Instead of this new McLaruen

God will take you through hell, just to get you to heaven

So even tho 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

Like a change in direction, even when you ain't planned it

All you can do it 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 illogical, losing is still far from optional

Yeah they wanna see you shot up in the hospital

But when life throws you punches,

block and counter like a boxer do

Been locked inside this casa too long, I did a song

To make it known that the king lives on Pimpin

I ain't dead (nah) I ain't done(nah)

I ain't scared(of what), I ain't run(from who)

Still I stand (yeah)

No matter what VA here I am No matter what remember

I ain't break(never), I ain't fold(never)

They hate me more(so?)

Yeah I know, here I go

No matter what shortie, here I go

No matter what shortie

Even in solitude, there's still no hotter dude

I show you how to do, what you do, you ain't gotta clue

All you do is follow dudes, sound like a lotta dudes

I'll weather whatever storm, make it out without a bruise

I understand why, now when 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 better know this

Guess it was understood, for me it was over with

But I don't quit, if you ain't noticed yet

They couldn't wait to say goodnight shorty

So they can try to rhyme, act and look like shorty

Go get a beat from toomp, and make a hook like shorty

Before ya know it I'm back what it look like shorty

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 hearts fill 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 (nah) I ain't done(nah)

I ain't scared(of what), I ain't run(from who)

Still I stand (yeah)

No matter what VA here I am No matter what remember

I ain't break(never), I ain't fold(never)

They hate me more(so?)

Yeah I know, here I go

No matter what shortie, here I go

No matter what shortie
