I'm Alive

I'm alive, chilling in the Southside I'm alive, chilling in the south I'm alive chilling in the Southside I'm alive, chilling in the south In the Southside Are you down to ride? Dodging swords and bullets Tryna stay alive Number my life And we all math Follow herds and shepherds Or make my own path I've been drifting Riding, surviving Exposed to the battle With the fear still hiding Any day now, it could be me The memorial forgotten so quickly For now I'm alive, chilling in the Southside I'm alive, chilling in the south I'm alive chilling in the Southside I'm alive, chilling in the south If we were all elevated Not tied up and regulated Freed up from bonds Not segregated, just educated We'd be rising higher A future fighter They know it's tighter (They know it's tighter) Raised with cuts and bruises, no ruses Raised not to follow what the other brother chooses Raised not to fall when the other brother loses Generous to start but the angel just defuses Wanna be more, but they weren't sure Never shown the growth and hope Walk in my rite So now I decide How I live and make my way in the Southside I'm alive, chilling in the Southside I'm alive, chilling in the south I'm alive chilling in the Southside I'm alive, chilling in the south
