| I learned a lot inside a year, that handful of months
|
| Another turn around the sun, I’m still cold and burning up
|
| Like a raisin in the sun, and I’m numb from smoking blunts
|
| I don’t feel it when they hit me, way my father used to beat me
|
| I don’t think I’d really feel it if a car swerved and hit me
|
| What does God got against me?
|
| I’ve been doing stupid shit like … and selling…
|
| I even tried to rob a bitch that got raided by police
|
| I’m just glad it wasn’t me
|
| And that keep me up at night, but I’m used to losing sleep
|
| 'Cause I live inside a house that’s full of water, neck deep
|
| So I’m always fucking fighting to keep my head above the water
|
| If I could walk on top of oceans
|
| I’d change the whole world and make it better for my mother
|
| And get a message from my sister, and that’s just fucking fiction
|
| She out there flirtin' with addiction, she ain’t got no time to call me
|
| Me, you, and our father, all hopeless alcoholics
|
| If you get a chance to call me
|
| Just remember that I love you, and I’ll always be your brother
|
| And there were times that I didn’t want to live
|
| But thank God I’m alive
|
| And to them times that I didn’t want to live
|
| Thank God I’m alive
|
| For all the times that I didn’t want to live
|
| Thank God I’m alive
|
| And to the times that I didn’t want to live
|
| Thank God I’m alive
|
| I remember being young, I’d ask a lot of questions
|
| Like, «Why's there so much hatred?» |
| and «Why they call me crazy?»
|
| Mama said I fell from heaven, smacked my head on the pavement
|
| «And that’s why they call me crazy, but that’s why I love you baby»
|
| And the day you stop fighting, that’s the day you turn crazy
|
| I could never pay you back but I’ma start with a Mercedes
|
| When I blow up I’mma get you everything you wanted now
|
| It’ll never be the same, riding through H-town
|
| Got a chevy full of gas, roll the windows down
|
| Hope I find some peace of mind 'fore the sun goes down
|
| And there were times that I didn’t want to live
|
| But thank God I’m alive
|
| And to them times that I didn’t want to live
|
| Thank God I’m alive
|
| For all the times that I didn’t want to live
|
| Thank God I’m alive
|
| And to the times that I didn’t want to live
|
| Thank God I’m alive |
