Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
For everyone that prayed for me
Heaven got away from me
I will never die
Thank God I'm alive
[Verse 2]
My family said, "The Lord won't come to you, you gotta get God"
Went into the pearly gates alive and got a discharge
But I seen her with that kinky, curly hair and poppin' lip gloss
Black skin shining like a swab of vaseline
It's like she had an open tab at MAC, but black's a form of gift card
The way she swayed her hips, it made the waves that sank the ship
I loved the way it made my dick hard
Of course it be a black woman that's in charge
Who else could make the flowers and the bees
That make the proudest hit his knees
To try to please that merciless god
Then turn the other cheek but suck her teeth 'cause she's still pissed off
[Verse 3]
Who else could put their king in there then help avoid the pitfalls
Who else could give us Stevie, gives us Frank then give us André, give us Drake
Then give us Kanye, Phonte, Wale, Yachty, Rick Ross
She probably start the fire down in hell to burn her lit bra, it's lit brah
Who could send me down to Earth like Lance Barton with the pen in hand
Jotting something this hard, to tell you I'm alive
[Verse 4]
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
For everyone that prayed for me
Heaven got away from me
I will never die
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm here for the long haul
[Verse 5]
She said tomorrow's a new day
And I can I can't face my future, living in the past, no way
But I much rather leave with her
She taught me about positive vibes, frequencies, highs, she's alive yeah
'Cause everywhere I am, she arrives, I can feel her
[Verse 6]
My time is limited and so I'm living it
Life, love and liberty, I place my energy
Lifelike as the images, I pride my penmanship
Verses as vivid as pictures yeah, I place my signature
I don't know my future in my slightest but I'm sliding in the driver's seat
And guiding it while God and momma guiding me
Spit away my pride but they still instilled the pride in me
Feds tapping phones, can I get a little privacy?
[Verse 7]
I'm still the same youngin, ducking protocol
Homies made me know the law
Momma made me know it all
Told me I should I hold the door
Rumours put me overboard
Tumour took my lower jaw
Only made me want it more
[Verse 8]
It's a miracle I'm even talking, I'm the underdog
Don't expect to bargain for a portion, no, I want it all
Overall, I'm grateful, I'm looked over by an angel
I can be the one to save you, one to save you, one to
[Verse 9]
She said tomorrow's a new day
And I can I can't face my future, living in the past, no way
But I much rather leave with her
She taught me about positive vibes, frequencies, highs, she's alive yeah
'Cause everywhere I am, she arrives, I can feel her
[Verse 10]
Enemy gon' try to take my life
But I'm still around to see the day
Every single worse that I can try
Set it all aside to lead the way
I got all my homies by my side
I don't give a damn what people say
Enemy gon' try to take my life
But I'm still around to see the day
[Verse 11]
It's been forty days and forty nights
But I swear I'm alright
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
I know I have you worried up at night
But baby, don't cry
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm still here in shock that momma died
When you look in my eyes
She's alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
And I can see her swelling up with pride
Now I'm energised
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
