I'm Alive (That Was the Day My Dead Pet Returned to Save My Life)

I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive, 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
Thank God I’m alive
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 an open tab that 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 the canyon 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 a lit bra, it’s lit brah
Who could send me down to earth like Lance Barton with the pen in hand jottin'
something this hard
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
I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive, I’m alive
I’m here for the long haul
She said that tomorrow’s a new day
And I can’t face my future living in the past, no way
But I’d much rather lead with her
She taught me about
Positive vibes, frequencies high
She’s alive, yeah
'Cause everywhere I am, she arrives
I can feel her
My time is limited and so I’m living it
Life, love, and liberty, I place my energy
Life like it’s the images, I pride my penmanship
Verses as vivid as pictures get, I place my signature
I don’t know my future in the slightest but I’m sliding in the drivers 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?
I’m still the same youngin duckin' protocol
Homies named 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 could be the one that saves you
She said that tomorrow’s a new day
And I can’t face my future living in the past, no way
But I’d much rather lead with her
She taught me about
Positive vibes, frequencies high
She’s alive, yeah
Cause everywhere I am, she arrives
I can feel her
Enemy gon' try to take my life
But I’m still around to see today
Ever single vice 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 and take my life
But I’m still around to see today
It’s been 40 days and 40 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
