On “Alive,” Dami Oniru aims to overcome the struggles of life and her sense of helplessness through the help of God.
This way, prayer and hope assume a key role in the artist’s life.
[Intro]
(Uh-huh) Remy Baggins did it
Dami Oniru on it
(laughs)
I can't deal with myself, ok
[Verse 1]
You used to talk to me
My ride or die see we
Were trouble, they couldn't wait to leave
Now we can rest in peace (Ooh wee)
You fight it off, that's what he said
All of the voices in ya head
None of his kids he will forsake
When it gets tough, just kneel and pray
[Chorus]
You be like: "Tell me what you want, girl, I got ya"
I be like: "Take all of my pain, I don't want it"
You be like: "Tell me what you want, girl, I got ya"
I be like: "Take all of my shame, keep me happy"
I just want to wake up, I, come ah-live
All I know is that I'm gonna be alright
Wake up, I, come ah-live
All I know is that I'm gonna be alright
[Verse 2]
What am I gonna do?
Feelings calm collected
Know it's up to you
Gotta get your mind right, too
Don't let these negative thoughts deflect you from what you boutta do
2 steps and I'm leaning, I
Really don't understand this vibe
I need you by my side
I'm way too tired to fight
But I know you fight for me
But I know you fight for me
[Chorus]
You be like: "Tell me what you want, girl, I got ya"
I be like: "Take all of my pain, I don't want it"
You be like: "Tell me what you want, girl, I got ya"
I be like: "Take all of my shame, keep me happy"
I just want to wake up, I, come ah-live
All I know is that I'm gonna be alright
Wake up, I, come ah-live
All I know is that I'm gonna be alright
[Outro]
Free, a-live
All I know is that I'm gonna be all right (What am I gonna do, feelings calm, collected, it is up to you)
Yeah, and a right way to do, all my heads 'bout the crying, I can feel it every
