[Intro]
Wake up
[Chorus: DJ Swamp Izzo & Ye]
Alive (You are)
Alive (You are)
Alive (You are)
Alive
[Verse 1: Ye & YoungBoy Never Broke Again]
This that new season ten (This that new season ten)
This that fuck and leave it in
This that pull up, blow, they thinkin' they hot, let five out the Gen
This that niggas been stealin' the swag they know damn well they ain't invent
This that niggas ain't rich, they broke, want a blessing and they ain't even repent
[Verse 2: YoungBoy Never Broke Again & Ye]
Okay, these niggas in trouble, it's fuck 'em, I'm finna expose 'em, they too undercover
This for my mama, my daughter, my mistress, I clean up her dental, upgradin' her sucker
These niggas suckers, they with it, we pull up in Bentleys and beat the fuck out 'em in public
Had to go crazy just for them to hear me, I had to stop walkin' on water to hover
[Refrain: Ye, YoungBoy Never Broke Again & DJ Swamp Izzo]
Hold on, I came back from the dead, now, nigga, I feel alive
Alive (You are)
Alive
I came back from the dead, now, bitch, I feel alive
Alive (You are)
Alive (You are)
Alive
I'm liver than all of you niggas
[Verse 3: YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Ye & DJ Swamp Izzo]
I'll put the bitch in a blicker, them youngins gon' load up and get 'em, they catch 'em and stretch 'em
.223, it ain't missin' a beat, we gon' pray up to Heaven and step in eleven
I drive the Maybach like a Jeep, I been movin' discreet on a nigga now just cause I said it
I'm that nigga, I read it on Reddit, I'm chargin' you niggas until I get credit
I'm lovin' myself, I been havin' a fetish, I'm ready to eat, I been countin' up lettuce
Oh, I got them hitters, they ready to go
That ain't a model, I bought her a bottle and fucked on her bottom until she was sore
I'm on the slab jumpin' out of a cab
On the Z like a Zoe in Givenchy peacoat
I am the realest, the illest, the richest, I break on a bitch, I can never go broke
Nigga, oh (Oh), came back from the dead, now, nigga, I feel alive
Come in the circle, they feelin' alive
Man, these niggas too under disguise
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, fuck it, let's run it, I let go my pride
I go to war about my kids, my child
These niggas better just stay up inside
[Interlude]
Woo
[Chorus: DJ Swamp Izzo & Ye]
Alive (You are)
Alive (You are)
Alive (You are)
Alive (You are)
Alive (You are)
Alive (You are)
Alive (You are)
Alive
