Ashanti › Lyrics › The Declaration

Oh, oh
I'm still here, I'm still here
Oh, I'm still here, I'm still here, oh

Never thought you'd be like that, be like that, oh
What you do in life comes right back, comes right back, oh
Baby, I'm still here, I'm still here, I'm still here
Baby, I'm still here, I'm still here, oh

Never thought you'd be like that, be like that, oh
What you do in life comes right back, comes right back, oh
Baby, I'm still here, I'm still here, I'm still here
Baby, I'm still here, I'm still here, oh

I used to look into your eyes and think
That you were the one that was meant for me
Everything that you would say I believed it
You manipulated me did it so creatively

Slowly took away from me most of my integrity
Used to say that I could be, everything and all you need
Started doing little things back then I couldn't see
But now that the rain is gone

Never thought you'd be like that, be like that, oh
(Yes I'm still here and I see you for who you are)
What you do in life comes right back, comes right back, oh
(And you're not far from the devil babe)
Baby, I'm still here, I'm still here, I'm still here
(So I pack my heart and run away)
Baby, I'm still here, I'm still here, oh
(So far away)

Never thought you'd be like that, be like that, oh
(Yes I'm still here and I see you for who you are)
What you do in life comes right back, comes right back, oh
(And you're not far from the devil babe)
Baby, I'm still here, I'm still here, I'm still here
(So I pack my heart and run away)
Baby, I'm still here, I'm still here, oh
(So far away, yeah)

They use to tell me I was nothing and couldn't make it there
And so I made it and they hate it 'cause I'm staying here
I put my trust into my faith everyday
With all the blood and sweat and tears, all the passion all the years

Now it's crowds and love and cheers, no more crying no more fear
Used to cry myself to sleep thinking it could never be
So then I pick myself back up and stood on my two feet
And now that the rain is gone

Never thought you'd be like that, be like that, oh
(Yes I'm still here and I see you for who you are)
What you do in life comes right back, comes right back, oh
(And you're not far from the devil babe)
Baby, I'm still here, I'm still here, I'm still here
(So I pack my heart and run away)
Baby, I'm still here, I'm still here, oh
(So far away, yeah)

Never thought you'd be like that, be like that, oh
What you do in life comes right back, comes right back, oh
(And you're not far from the devil babe)
Baby, I'm still here, I'm still here, I'm still here
(So I pack my heart and run away)
Baby, I'm still here, I'm still here, oh
(So far away, hey, yeah)

Said I'm still here, I'm still here, hey
Said I'm still here

Never thought you'd be like that, be like that, oh
(Said I'm still here)
What you do in life comes right back, comes right back, oh
(And I ain't going nowhere)
Baby, I'm still here, I'm still here, I'm still here
Baby, I'm still here, I'm still here, oh
(Hey yeah, hey yeah, baby)

Never thought you'd be like that, be like that, oh
(Oh, oh)
What you do in life comes right back, comes right back, oh
Baby, I'm still here, I'm still here, I'm still here
(Hey, hey, hey)
Baby, I'm still here, I'm still here, oh
(Said I'm still here)
