Alive (feat. NEW BR33D)

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
