Alive ft. NEW BR33D Lyrics

I woke up this morning

Although some things are still the same

I've seen 26 years

Just look how far I've came

And many of those years

A lot of energies been drained

A lot of tears have been shed

And through my image there was shame

And now I thank the Lord

The same person I would blame

With anger never tamed

I would yell his name in vaine

Had questions like

Why you got me harvesting this pain

But to cleanse some of your sins

Got to walk through the rain

I preach for the brothers in the hood locations

Seeking retaliation

While being hospital patients

Or the ones pending charges

Sitting down at the station

Really think about your life

And all the ways you can change it

For real

Move forward

Get away from the crime

Get a nine-five the right way of serving your time

Stop putting folks to sleep

And start to open your eyes

Smell the roses out of the casket

Where you can lay

And stay alive

I'm alive

I'm alive

Bet I'm going to live my life

Cash rules everything around me

C.R.E.A.M. get the money

Dollar dollar bill yall

I'm alive

I'm alive

Bet I'm going to live my life

Cash rules everything around me

C.R.E.A.M. get the money

Dollar dollar bill yall

My peers are overdosing on a monthly basis

I'm 36 and I could make a list

Of people my age that didn't make it

I never fought with addiction

Went to rehab

Turn to God

Then cope with religion

I get it

I haven't prayed since I was 25

Sorry Mommy

My vision and Jehovah Witness don't align

I only prayed cause my mental health was on decline

I'm only meant to serve him so I couldn't confide

Dedicated to the ones that self medicated

And people living in poverty because of segregation

And people losing they freedom because of legislation

Laws created that become systemically racist

Focused on being the best version of me

Want to achieve a lot of things before I'm deceased

Yeah

Around the world we fight a disease

Blood on the leaves

But I'm still so happy to breathe

I'm alive

I'm alive

Bet I'm going to live my life

Cash rules everything around me

C.R.E.A.M. get the money

Dollar dollar bill yall

I'm alive

I'm alive

Bet I'm going to live my life

Cash rules everything around me

C.R.E.A.M. get the money

Dollar dollar bill yall
