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

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, yes I'm still here

[Chorus playing in the background]
And I see you for who you are
And you're not far from the devil babe
So I pack my heart and run away
So far away
Yes I'm still here

They use to tell me I was nothing and couldn't make it there
And so I made and they hated, '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 its crowds and love and cheers
No more crying no more fear
Used to cry myself to sleep thinking it could never be
Then I pick myself up and stood on my two feet
And now that the rain is gone yes I'm still here

[Chorus in playing in the background]
And I see you for who you are
And you're not far from the devil babe
So I pack my heart and run away
So far away
Yeah
And you're not far from the devil babe
So I pack my heart and run away
So far away

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

[Chorus playing in the background]
Said I'm still here
Said I'm still here
And I ain't going nowhere
Hey hey hey
Said I'm still here...

Ashanti

Ashanti (born Ashanti Shequoiya Douglas; October 13, 1980) is an American singer-songwriter, record producer, and actress. She rose to fame in the early 2000s.
