Alive

[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
