Alive - Patrice, Busy Signal

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
