"still alive" lyrics
I done made it through another year (Yeah)
I should get a plaque, I deserve a trophy (Go)
I'll take silver second, even bronze low-key (Wow)
I kept my head down (Down), I kept my hand soapy (Clean)
I took a couple hits (Prra), more like a barrage (Oh)
Took a deep breath, I sent message to God (God)
And after everythin', I still made it to my garage (To my garage)
And after everythin', I still made it to my garage
I'm still alive (Still alive, still alive)
I'm still getting by one way or another
I'm thinkin', maybe I'm
I'm meant for more than a life, just shy of the gutter, I (Still alive)
I'm still alive (Still alive, still alive)
I'm still getting by one way or another
I'm thinkin', maybe I'm
I'm meant for more than a life, just shy of the gutter, I (Still alive)
My demons, they are very alive
They just vary in size, from barely my height
To there in the sky, I wear a disguise
Aware of my pride, it's buried inside, deep (No one can save you but you)
I'm paranoid, eyes open, especially when I sleep
Especially when I ride, now multiply by three
I can feel the divide, it equals: R.I.P
I'm sick of wonderin' if all y'all see
All y'all sleep, all y'all key
I peel the layers back, don't play with that, that's all I be
You can't explain the fact, they hate us blacks but bite our steez
I digress though
2 A.M. in Hollywood, order Obama special
I'm sorta the prime example of fourth quarter Lebron
I'm for sure intertwined with the stars 'n all
But it's dark, a nigga been on a roll, fuck it I'll play the part
Niggas chasin' a goal
I'm just chasin' my heart
Pardon me if I'm too abrasive
I blossom like tulips and keep it true till I meet my maker
A baker no Anita, but I need her like a scholar need a teacher
A daughter need a father, or a choir need a preacher
I require an acquired taste
Inspired to go higher than Mariah on her finest day
I'ma find a way, we gon' make it out, we gon' be okay
We gon' make it out, we gon' be okay
We gon' make it out, we gon' be okay
I'm still alive (Still alive, still alive)
I'm still getting by one way or another
I'm thinkin', maybe I'm
I'm meant for more than a life, just shy of the gutter, I (Still alive)
I'm still alive (Still alive, still alive)
I'm still getting by one way or another
I'm thinkin', maybe I'm
I'm meant for more than a life, just shy of the gutter, I (Still alive)
If you want it then you gotta go get it
That's a lesson life won't let you forget it
I've been so afraid of life, I done forgot how to live it (Ah, ah, ah)
I've been so afraid of life, I done forgot how to live it
I've been so afraid of life, I done forgot how to live it
If you want it then you gotta go get it
That's a lesson life won't let you forget it
I've been so afraid of life, I done forgot how to live it (Ah, ah, ah)
I've been so afraid of life, I done forgot how to live it
I've been so afraid of life, I done forgot how to live it
Alive still (Alive, still, alive, still)
Alive still (Alive, still, alive, still)
Alive still (Alive, still, alive, still)
Alive still (Alive, still, alive, still)
Alive still (Alive, still, alive, still)
This is a natural process of what happens when someone is on the peak of greatness
Alive still (Alive, still, alive, still)
There are always gonna be people talkin' the trash
Alive still (Alive, still, alive, still)
You're so much better than them, you're so much better than me
Alive still (Alive, still, alive, still)
You're a better version of me, you're a better version of your father
Alive still (Alive, still, alive, still)
And you have to not be angry and not be upset
Alive still (Alive, still, alive, still)
But you just have to understand that this is
Alive still (Alive, still, alive, still)
The kind of thing that happens when someone is on the peak of something great
Alive still (Alive, still, alive, still)
And right now, grouptherapy., you're on the peak of greatness
Alive still (Alive, still, alive, still)
So you have to rise above it or you just gotta keep goin'
Alive still (Alive, still, alive)
'Cause, guess what? Y'all about to blow up, and you just gotta keep workin' towards your goal, stay focused, stay humble, work hard, and just see what happens, okay? I love you
I should get a plaque, I deserve a trophy (Go)
I'll take silver second, even bronze low-key (Wow)
I kept my head down (Down), I kept my hand soapy (Clean)
I took a couple hits (Prra), more like a barrage (Oh)
Took a deep breath, I sent message to God (God)
And after everythin', I still made it to my garage (To my garage)
And after everythin', I still made it to my garage
I'm still alive (Still alive, still alive)
I'm still getting by one way or another
I'm thinkin', maybe I'm
I'm meant for more than a life, just shy of the gutter, I (Still alive)
I'm still alive (Still alive, still alive)
I'm still getting by one way or another
I'm thinkin', maybe I'm
I'm meant for more than a life, just shy of the gutter, I (Still alive)
My demons, they are very alive
They just vary in size, from barely my height
