"Alive" lyrics

Yeah
Look

Back when I was sleepin' at your crib
Back when 105.1 played the kid
Back when I was 'bout to sign a deal with DJ Flip
Back when I ain't have nothin' to lose, nothin' to give
Now I got the Benz parked up in the way
The only time I'm sittin' in the back is in the May
I really thought you'd stick around and show your ass the way
I really thought if you had seen the bag, then you would stay
Unfollowin' on social media is strange
We're in our 30's now but you refuse to go and change
You actin' like I'll give a fuck to see that you're engaged
You really thought I'd see that shit and drive myself deranged
You know I love the shit I do, I only needed time
I needed to be locked in, I needed it to be mine
I need the city lovin' me, I really need to grind
I didn't need a ladder just to show how far I climb
You know I love the city, but shit, girl, I love you more
I wish you'd seen the come-up, wish I met your ass before
I can't be in the same place as 2024
I can't have nothin' on the wishlist I can't afford
The borough that I'm from, girl, it's real hard to survive
Inflatin' up your ego's gettin' real hard to provide
I had to let go of a lot of ones who would connive
But now we here and I can say I'm very much alive

I'm very much alive
Very much alive
I'm very much alive
On this side
