[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
