Alive

Lyrics

[Intro: Kemba] I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive (Yeah) I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive I'm alive, for everyone that prayed for me Heaven gotta wait for me I will never die (Yeah) Thank God I'm alive (Yeah) [Verse 1: Kemba] My family said the Lord won't come to you You gotta get God Run into the pearly gates alive And got a discharge But I seen her with that kinky curly hair And poppin' lip gloss Black skin shining like a swab of vaseline It's like she had a open tab at MAC Or black Sephora gift card The way she swayed her hips And made the waves that sank the ship I looked away, it made my dick hard Of course it'd be a Black woman that's in charge Who else could make the flowers and the bees Then make the proudest hit his knees To try and please a merciless God Then turn the other cheek But suck her teeth 'cause she's still pissed off? Who else could put their king in there Then help avoid the pitfall? Who else could give us Stevie, give us Frank, then give us Andre Give us Drake, then give us Kanye Phonte, Wale Yachty, Rick Ross? She probably start the fire down in hell To burn her lit bra, it's lit, bruh Who could send me down to Earth like Lance Barton With the pen in hand, jottin' something this hard [Pre-Chorus: Kemba] To tell you I'm alive? I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive I'm alive For everyone that prayed for me, heaven gotta wait for me I will never die, ha I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive I'm alive, ha I'm here for the long haul, yeah [Chorus: Eric Bellinger] She said tomorrow's a new day, yeah (Day) And I can't face my future living in the past No way (No way) But I'd much rather lead with her She taught me about positive vibes, frequencies high She's alive, yeah (Woah) 'Cause everywhere I am She arrives, I can feel her [Verse 2: Kemba] My time is limited and so I'm living it Life, love, and liberty, I place my energy Lifelike as the images, I pride my penmanship Verses' vivid as pictures get, I place my signature I don't know my future in the slightest, but I'm sliding in the driver's seat And guiding it while God and momma guiding me Split up with my pride but they still instilled the pride in me Feds tapping phones, can I get a little privacy? (Yeah) I'm still the same youngin duckin' protocol Homies made me know the law, momma made me know it all Told me I should hold the door, rumors put me overboard Tumor took my lower jaw, only made me want it more It's a miracle I'm even talking, I'm the underdog Don't expect to bargain for a portion, no, I want it all Overall, I'm grateful I'm looked over by an angel I can be the one to save you—one to save you—one to— [Chorus: Eric Bellinger] She said tomorrow's a new day, yeah (Day) And I can't face my future living in the past No way (No way) But I'd much rather lead with her She taught me about positive vibes, frequencies high She's alive, yeah (Woah) 'Cause everywhere I am She arrives, I can feel her [Bridge: Kemba] Enemy gon' try to take my life But I'm still around to see the day Ever single worse that I can try Set it all aside to lead the way I got all my homies by my side I don't give a damn what people gotta say Enemy gon' try to take my life But I'm still around to see the day [Outro: Kemba] It's been forty days and forty nights, but I swear I'm alright I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive I know I have you worried up at night, but, baby, don't cry I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive I'm still here in shock that momma died, when you look into my eyes She's alive, I'm alive, I'm alive And I can see her swelling up with pride, now I'm energized I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
