Here to Stay by Trace Strider Lyrics
Here to Stay
Written by: Trace Strider
[Intro/Chorus]
I know what it is that they say
They would rather see me fail than chase any
Ambitions I got laid up in my lane
(In my lane)
But I got news cuz I’ve been Here to Stay
(Here to Stay)
[Verse 1]
Even on my bad days
(When I’m low)
I been far away from last place
(I mean)
I ain’t even gotta act brave
I’ve been at it for so long
(ay)
It’s been so long
(ay)
I avoid bad habits like it been the plague
(Or a pandemic)
Oh man I feel like I’m up and in it
Now gotta come up with somethin’ different
How come for so many years I felt like a big disgrace?
Bitterness never really disengage
But got it on lock
So hungry I could eat my dinner plate
At times I feel chaotic like…
No laws, oh God, so wrong
Don’t fall or ever doze off
Cuz that show ain’t ever stop
I just move on
If you don’t like what I do then begone
Not into materialism
But look at me man
I feel like I been a centerpiece
(And I know!)
[Chorus]
I know what it is that they think
(What they think…)
They would rather see me be in pain
(Be in pain)
But I got ambition laid up in my lane
(In my lane)
And I got news cuz I’ve been Here to Stay
[Bridge]
I’m Here to Stay
Do they hear me say?
Imma clear my slate
(But)
How many hours just will it take?
[Verse 2]
Yo, I got this
Every mornin’, straight flossin’
Gotta get up to pay homage
Slowly build a team
Keep these promises
(I) came along way from bein’ incompetent
The only time I’ll ever flop is when
I dive on top of the moshpits
(Let’s go!)
[Chorus]
I know what it is that they say
They would rather see me dig my grave
(Dig my grave)
But I got ambition up in my lane
(In my lane)
And I got news cuz I’ve been here…
I will never fall off
Stand alone like Bardock
I am my own guard dog
I can hear my calling
I’m Here to Stay
Do they hear me say?
Imma clear my slate
I can hear my calling
(Calling)
I will never fall off
Stand alone like Bardock
I am my own guard dog
I’m Here to Stay
Do they hear me say?
Imma clear my slate
I can hear my calling
(Calling)
[Outro]
I know what it is that they say
They would rather see me fail than chase any
Ambitions I got laid up in my lane
(In my lane)
But I got news cuz I’ve been Here to Stay
(Here to Stay)
