Chill Smith, NEW BR33D - Alive Lyrics

I woke up this morning
Although some things are still the same
I've seen 26 years
Just look how far I've came
And many of those years
A lot of energies been drained
A lot of tears have been shed
And through my image there was shame
And now I thank the Lord
The same person I would blame
With anger never tamed
I would yell his name in vaine
Had questions like
Why you got me harvesting this pain
But to cleanse some of your sins
Got to walk through the rain
I preach for the brothers in the hood locations
Seeking retaliation
While being hospital patients
Or the ones pending charges
Sitting down at the station
Really think about your life
And all the ways you can change it
For real
Move forward
Get away from the crime
Get a nine-five the right way of serving your time
Stop putting folks to sleep
And start to open your eyes
Smell the roses out of the casket
Where you can lay
And stay alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
Bet I'm going to live my life
Cash rules everything around me
C.R.E.A.M. get the money
Dollar dollar bill yall
I'm alive
I'm alive
Bet I'm going to live my life
Cash rules everything around me
C.R.E.A.M. get the money
Dollar dollar bill yall
My peers are overdosing on a monthly basis
I'm 36 and I could make a list
Of people my age that didn't make it
I never fought with addiction
Went to rehab
Turn to God
Then cope with religion
I get it
I haven't prayed since I was 25
Sorry Mommy
My vision and Jehovah Witness don't align
I only prayed cause my mental health was on decline
I'm only meant to serve him so I couldn't confide
Dedicated to the ones that self medicated
And people living in poverty because of segregation
And people losing they freedom because of legislation
Laws created that become systemically racist
Focused on being the best version of me
Want to achieve a lot of things before I'm deceased
Yeah
Around the world we fight a disease
Blood on the leaves
But I'm still so happy to breathe
I'm alive
I'm alive
Bet I'm going to live my life
Cash rules everything around me
C.R.E.A.M. get the money
Dollar dollar bill yall
I'm alive
I'm alive
Bet I'm going to live my life
Cash rules everything around me
C.R.E.A.M. get the money
Dollar dollar bill yall
