Flame - Alive Lyrics

Yeah uh
I just want to talk to you for a minute man
See I want you to know what God has done in my life
And I want you to know that he can do the same thing for you (Talk to Him)
The Lord has spared me from a lot of different things man (Listen)

Remember it like it was yesterday had to get up out my school
Cause them dudes they ran up and they looking for me with them tool
The principal didn't even trip security didn't trip
So I had to secure my safety making me have to dip
So I hit that highway taking 70 to 55
Heading off to South County now
From the hood that's a long drive
Now I'm at this new school ready to study and drink
Hoping somebody would trip ready to bloody a fist
But that's just orientation so I'm gonna slow my roll
Plus I see this girl I like and hoping I get to know
So we hit the whip again now we head back to the hood
But I got this feeling we ain't chilling it ain't nothing good
Then I see this truck on our side like it's about to pass
But I look up and guess what We about to crash
Next we collide about to die I can't even yell
Only thing I'm thinking is I'm about to go to hell

Jesus snatched me out death see it was 1999
I ain't living for myself I'm realizing I ain't mine
I'm alive (I'm alive)
I'm alive (I'm alive)
I'm alive (I'm alive)
I'm alive (I'm alive)

Jesus snatched me out death see it was 1999
I ain't living for myself I'm realizing I ain't mine
I'm alive (I'm alive)
I'm alive (I'm alive)
I'm alive (I'm alive)
I'm alive (I'm alive)

Me and my white kicks hit the road
Hop to the whip to get to Saint Lou
We didn't know what was bout to unfold
What up tell it everything cool
So we riding down the highway right
What's the time of the day night
Everything is okay right
Plus we make time to pray, nice
Then we get to the STL
Drop my wife off to get some z's
Pop the kicking with Json and Stefan over Candy
We decide to walk through the store
It's four of us so we know we cool
Then we seeing this car passing us by stopping it made a U (Ahhh)
Json like man you just tripping
Man you tripping let's just proceed
All the way back from the store we smell the smoke of the potent weed
But ain't nobody out until we hear that voice tell us stay there
5's 9's get on the ground
Now we see them barrels waving life flash before our eyes
If his finger slip all 4 of us is moving on
All I'm thinking is Lord if this is how the story goes
I'll be fine cause in 1999 Jesus saved my soul

Jesus snatched me out death see it was 1999
I ain't living for myself I'm realizing I ain't mine
I'm alive (I'm alive)
I'm alive (I'm alive)
I'm alive (I'm alive)
I'm alive (I'm alive)

Jesus snatched me out death see it was 1999
I ain't living for myself I'm realizing I ain't mine
I'm alive (I'm alive)
I'm alive (I'm alive)
I'm alive (I'm alive)
I'm alive (I'm alive)

Everything I did then I was tripping off of people
I was living for my friends but my heart was really evil
I was worshiping my money I was worshiping my shoes
Wasn't thinking about my soul worshiping girls in the school
I was living for myself like I was stuck in a rut
And I couldn't get up like I was cut in the gut
I was bleeding from my side and I didn't wanna fix the wound
You see I thought I was alive I was chilling in my tomb
I was holding on to sin like it was my baby daughter
Baby boy I was deceived it was leading me to the slaughter
Wasn't thinking about Jesus wasn't thinking about the curse
Wasn't thinking bout the fall wasn't thinking about this verse
I was thinking bout nothing but myself in those days
What it took Jesus Christ to get Himself out the grave
And 2000 years later He got me out the grave
Now I'm rapping on this mic to see you out the grave

Jesus snatched me out death see it was 1999
I ain't living for myself I'm realizing I ain't mine
I'm alive (I'm alive)
I'm alive (I'm alive)
I'm alive (I'm alive)
I'm alive (I'm alive)

Jesus snatched me out death see it was 1999
I ain't living for myself I'm realizing I ain't mine
I'm alive (I'm alive)
I'm alive (I'm alive)
I'm alive (I'm alive)
I'm alive (I'm alive)

Yeah that's real talk
