“This beat was made specifically for DAFRICAN, after I had sent him an email to ask him if I could have him on a track. He heard the clip I sent and instantly loved it. From there, I waited for the acapella to arrive, after sending him the full beat, and when it did, I wasn’t disappointed. This song...
[Verse One]
I can never be contained
I'm a wild beast
Refuse to bend to the rules
Of society
So, no name, age or race
Can define me
Don't give a fuck what it says
On my ID
I live my own life
And no one else can change that
I make decisions and don't have
To explain them
Of course I make mistakes
But that's part of growing up
I know enough to know that I'll
Never know enough
Life in the fast lane
With no signs of slowing up
I'm either rolling something up
Or I'm pouring up
They need to hurry up and legalize my medication
Every day I open up my eyes
Is a celebration
[Buildup]
(Cause) Cause I believe
That there is more to life
Than trying to survive
Watching time pass you by
No, not me
Cause I'm a different type
I don't just wanna live
I wanna feel alive
[Drop / Refrain ]
Oh oh oh oh (x2)
I wanna feel alive, I wanna feel alive
Oh oh oh oh (x2)
Baby I'm alive, I wanna feel alive
[Verse Two]
(Yeah) I'm not giving up
On everything I love
Until I met you
You're everything I want
And now I'm so hooked
You're every single drug
Can never let you go
I gotta feel that buzz
They say we're not perfect
Who cares what perfect is?
They say we'll never make it
Well, fuck your prophecies
No one can see the future
We walking blindfolded
But if we hit a wall
We work to climb over
We got [?]
Jesus take the wheel
So even when we crash
The wounds are quick to heal
My body's full of scars
But you say you love it
I don't deserve it
I swear I don't deserve it
[Buildup]
[Drop / Refrain]
[Buildup 2]
[Drop / Refrain]
[Outro Verse]
Cause I believe
That there is more to life
Than trying to survive
Watching time pass you by
No, not me
Cause I'm a different type
I don't just wanna live
I wanna feel alive
