Alive

Oh you, oh you think you got me figured out? Oh you, oh you think you got me figured out? Oh you, oh you think you got me figured out? Nah I’m alive I’ve got my God to thank for everything inside I’m living like I’m tryna keep from gettin’ fried I’ma keep my soul until the day I die You can’t fool me, plenty people already tried If you’re fake, just be prepared to get denied You want a reason we don’t talk, I’ll give you five I don’t need those type of people in my life I’m pretty sure that’s the reason I’m alive Thank God I’m alive, yeah Thank God I’m alive, true Thank God I’m alive, yeah Thank God I’m a... whoa I think you need to change your attitude You gon’ have a lot of people mad at you I spent one too many years up on that avenue But became a different person thanks to lattitude On that real, I been runnin’ from the make believe I’m just tryna live my life, and do it faithfully Will I make it, I don’t know, you’ll have to wait and see But there’s better things to come, I’m waiting patiently I got info in my brain, I see the tempo switchin’ pace In my mental, I’m insane, now I got blisters from the pain I love my sisters in the faith, but still, no pencil could erase I done wrote so many songs, it says my disk is outta space I’m hungry for success, but only been allowed a taste It wasn’t meant to drown my faith, but still it sent me down the drain Some issues in my life will get me bent all out of shape I keep the thoughts inside my head if it just isn’t nice to say, so I’m alive Like dirty laundry, I’m just going with tide Just ‘cause you’re older doesn’t mean you’re always wise I’m not afraid to be the one to cut the ties Never settle, don’t negotiate with lies Just ‘cause you want it, doesn’t mean you have the right I’ma show up with a stone and start a fight I’ma pass it off to God and cut the lights I’m tired of goin’ out my way to be polite I’m sick of the world that we’re livin’ in I question the people that live in it I’m tired of watchin’ the people around me diminishing’ Givin’ their time to the things that are killin’ them I wish that I didn’t forget there’s a God that is sittin’ above and He’s listenin’ Every time that we question this life and start givin’ in I wish that I didn’t keep missin’ it Father, remind me our missions are different What would it be like if I fully believed, and I knew what forgiven is? But these thoughts in my mind, they keep hinderin’ Every solution and keep it from gettin’ in If God kept a record of everyone goin’ to heaven Would you be a person that’s truly alive? Make good decisions if you choose to roll the dice No excuses, you can see it in my eyes I don’t listen to the voices in the night I’m pretty sure that’s the reason I’m alive Thank God I’m alive, yeah Thank God I’m alive, true Thank God I’m alive, yeah Thank God I’m a... It took me long enough to figure out I haven’t gotten where I’m goin’, but I’m still in route What I do when I forget what I’m about is Load a gun with motivation, pull the trigger on my doubts I’m alive
