Alive

Yeah
I'm crying, I need assistance
Life is in need of fixing
My pride it leave me defenseless
I might need an intervention
I'm fighting to be consistent
Vitamin D deficient
The irony is to see that the light I need is within me
I fight with easy decisions
Tryna lead with intention
Be kinda be keeping peace
But I slightly easy into to tension
These songs in the key of life that I write like when Stevie did it
I'm wondering how could I lose sight of my Innervisions
See, life has a funny way of knocking you off your path
They say you tell your plans to God and he gon bust out and laugh
We so caught up our day-to-day operations and tasks
That we forget the joys of life and how much fun we could have
We let the distractions of life take our focus off what's important
Stuck in the rigamarole until we turn rigor mortis
End up giving minutiae everything we could give
Sometimes we so caught up in life that we forget how to live
I wanna live
I don't wanna just be alive
I wanna get
The best out of life before I die
I wanna do
Everything they said that I wouldn't
I wanna do
Everything I thought that I couldn't
I wanna live
I don't wanna just be alive
I wanna get
The best out of life before I die
I wanna do
Everything they said that I wouldn't
Yeah I wanna do
Everything I thought that I couldn't
When you finally get to have what you been wanting
It don't hit like when you chased it
Funny how when you get hungry you remember s*** you wasted
Why we wait until we lose some s*** to show appreciation?
Man it's crazy how that grief could make a playa get complacent
Gotta face it and just fall back
Then patiently crawl back
But I ain't complaining
I seen amazing turn all bad
Unlimited time is something we think that we all have
Til the great equalizer come and show us it's all cap
We all ask God for guidance, discernment, and peace
To help us navigate the world and grab the pleasures that we seek
We walk around like we invincible and can't see defeat
You can't know the value of life til you experience grief
You gotta get right with yourself and whatever God you believe in
Spend more time with your fam and your potnas while you can see them
Invest in your goals and give everything you can give
Just don't get so caught up in life that you forget to live
I wanna live
I don't wanna just be alive
I wanna get
The best out of life before I die
I wanna do
Everything they said that I wouldn't
I wanna do
Everything I thought that I couldn't
I wanna live
I don't wanna just be alive
I wanna get
The best out of life before I die
I wanna do
Everything they said that I wouldn't
Yeah I wanna do
Everything I thought that I couldn't
Bridge!
Do you know what today is?
Do you know what that play is?
Another day in the matrix
Another moment to take risks
Are you in it for greatness?
Are you in it to make it?
Either you on the waitlist
Or you get up and chase it
Would you still chase your dreams if nobody ever supported?
Invest in yourself when your lifestyle won't let you afford it?
You taking steps to become a person you happy with?
Man you only lose the game if you quit
S**t
I wanna live
I don't wanna just be alive
I wanna get
The best out of life before I die
I wanna do
Everything they said that I wouldn't
I wanna do
Everything I thought that I couldn't
I wanna live
I don't wanna just be alive
I wanna get
The best out of life before I die
I wanna do
Everything they said that I wouldn't
Yeah I wanna do
Everything I thought that I couldn't
I wanna live
I don't wanna just be alive
I wanna get
The best out of life before I die
I wanna do
Everything they said that I wouldn't
I wanna do
Everything I thought that I couldn't
I wanna live
I don't wanna just be alive
I wanna get
The best out of life before I die
I wanna do
Everything they said that I wouldn't
Yeah I wanna do
Everything I thought that I couldn't
