Alive & Free

Yeah, it's blacker than gold, listen!

I used to think that music's all that mattered

I knew that I'd be back

Sometimes it's good to take a break from practice

This rapping, one thing in life that I have mastered

Some of these rappers need a bafta cue they're such good actors

When I hear the beat, I feel just where I used to be

And when I get that number one, don't think that's news to me

I'm tryna be where Drake is, maybe not so famous

But I want people in my City to know what my name is

Blacker that gold, and that's in case you didn't know me

You can't mistake it though, I'm sure that I'm the one and only

See I've been dealing with some issues lately

I think this music maybe

The one thing in life that might just save me

Yeah, and lately I've been struggling

But I've been tryna find meaning in my suffering

I wanna tell my story, this is just the first chapter

You can hear the next chapter in the verse after

Me, I just wanna feel alive and free

I hope to make it to the top, look what a sight to see

I received a sign, I know that now's the time for me

Whoever said that love was blind, they was lying to me

Me, I just wanna feel alive and free

I hope to make it to the top, look what a sight to see

I received a sign, I know that now's the time for me

Whoever said that love was blind, they was lying to me

They was lying to me

Yeah, I don't even need no drums for this instrumental

I'ma let these piano keys take me to where they're meant to

This whole year has been a roller coaster

I feel like I'm joyriding in a stolen motor

But, one day I'll be a great man

I'm tryna keep it real, I ain't got time for any hate fam

Society lied to me

I've been tryna be myself now I'm struggling to fight my anxiety

Dare to be different, forget fitting in

Are you prepared to leave that box that they fit you in

She said that when she hears my voice then she know's it's me

Back before I was the man she never noticed me

But, let's see what I can do with this

I'm 28 but I'm a pro look I ain't new to this

I'm tryna raise the bar, I hope that I can take it far

Tracey chapman couldn't catch me in her fastest car

Me, I just wanna feel alive and free

I hope to make it to the top, look what a sight to see

I received a sign, I know that now's the time for me

Whoever said that love was blind, they was lying to me

Me, I just wanna feel alive and free

I hope to make it to the top, look what a sight to see

I received a sign, I know that now's the time for me

Whoever said that love was blind, they was lying to me

They was lying to me

Cus I received a sign, I know that now's the time for me

I just wanna feel alive and free

I hope to make it to the top look what a sight to see

I just wanna feel alive and free

I know that now's the time for me

Whoever said that love was blind they was lying to me

Cus I received a sign, I know that now's the time for me

My mother used to say Bobby you could be something

I'm sick of seeing you achieve nothing

But nobody dreams where I come from

We just find problems to run from

And then we do our best to overcome them

I'm scared of what my future holds

Cus I wonder, will I die before I reach my goals

Me, I've been hurting too much to let it show

But I've worked too damn hard just to let this go

No, I'll never let this go
