Alive

[Verse 1]
I'll be rich forever
In my own skin never switch the leather
Put the fake on top when I listen vendettas
Died paid, live free
Tell me which is better
I live to flip the script and eclipse the Vete-
Ransack through the bull I don't plan to let up
Never plotting on the fall, but i plan to get up
The whole game in a crunch, I demand a sit up
Now is it alright?
I'm on a mission to kill 'em out in the broad light
No intermission
We in the kitchen like all night
I got a penchant for being pensive
You worried 'bout mine, who living ya'll life?
Alright
I think I make you uncomfortable
You want a Huxstable, but I'm just sticking to me
Youngin's get lost in the sauce when they living to floss and I yell that till Guwop get free
Oh I'm who I should be
Who you know better?
No times for homies who change with the weather
They flip the bird cause I ain't of they feather
So I roll with Kings and a couple Corettas
I know what I better do
Check the fam then I check on the revenue
Then I check if the check on the pedestal
Check yourself cause you know we ain't scared of you
Oh I been telling you

[Hook]
I've been like this all my life, yeah
Can't quit now I got to fight, yeah
I am not hearing them lies
I see the fear in your eyes
I know you want me to die, but trust me I'm very alive
I've been like this all my life, yeah
Can't quit now I got to fight, yeah
I am not hearing them lies
I see the fear in your eyes
I know you want me to die, but trust me I'm very alive

[Verse 2]
Now who's the fool who thought he could stop the train
I hop on tracks and wreck with a lot to gain
If all you do is flex, we not the same
You must protect your neck, youngin' guard your brain
Yelling "Oh my Lord," gotta thank God
We done did it with the same clique
If they 'round know they hold me down
And I got 'em cause they ain't switch
Hit the road, made a lane switch
I ain't worried 'bout a thang since
I've been thinking I could do it all
Got me feeling like I can't miss
Had 'em looking when we came in
Yeah, we been looking like the Outkast
They want to push us to the back of the bus
I think they mad cause they outclassed
Uh!

[Hook]
I've been like this all my life, yeah
Can't quit now I got to fight, yeah
I am not hearing them lies
I see the fear in your eyes
I know you want me to die, but trust me I'm very alive
I've been like this all my life, yeah
Can't quit now I got to fight, yeah
I am not hearing them lies
I see the fear in your eyes
I know you want me to die, but trust me I'm very alive

[Verse 3]
Swear to God I'm the young Fela
Tried to turn me down, but I won't fade out
Came in with the crew, been had the juice
I'm what happens when you grow up on Trick and De La
Man, who that there that's gone knock my hustle?
Who that there that's gone block my stride?
Who that there that say the real ain't back?
Well him right there, he tell a God durn' lie
This is hot and sicker than your average flow
Young Swade much slicker than your average Joe
Why they mad at a youngin' trying to climb for the heights
When I've seen worse than your average low
Ya'll free to stay the same, but I have to grow
Left the hometown forever, but I had to go
Young boy, but I'm been knew I had to glow
Now the whole state sitting on my clavicle
Ugh!

[Hook]
I've been like this all my life, yeah
Can't quit now I got to fight, yeah
I am not hearing them lies
I see the fear in your eyes
I know you want me to die, but trust me I'm very alive
I've been like this all my life, yeah
Can't quit now I got to fight, yeah
I am not hearing them lies
I see the fear in your eyes
I know you want me to die, but trust me I'm very alive
