Alive

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
