alive (remix)

now that i am found here

hey

is this thing on man?

testing one

two testin

yeah

i think it's on jahaziel

let's go

i'm alive woa-ho-hoo-ho

yeah

i'm in this with my brother

so let me spit on the subject

not tryin to dig into it

but figured i'd quickly touch it

cause i was quick to judge it

actin like i'm above it

when really i'm just the same

but my failure wasn't as public

relaxed and i slipped

can't retract what i did

but the fact is these kids caught me snached from his grip

nah

i ain't justifiyin a sinful life

just hopin christian might pray for a brother before they criticize

cause yeah

i was exposed as a fraud

doin shows and tours til my posse told me to pause

praise the lord

when i showed him it all

he should have showed me the door

instead he showed me that these shoulders were broad

to bear me

see what happens when we close to the edge

clearly

yeah the devil must have thought i was dead

nearly

so how come i'm still alive right now dun

well i'm a pour it out on the next album

so stay tuned

i'm alive woa-ho-hoo-ho

i know where i went wrong

pride was my pitfall

thinkin' i could stand 'cause i'm a vet like a sick dog

boy was i mistaken

pacin' through the thick fog

forsakin' all the basics

i raced into a brick wall

when i got free

took a trip to cali

stayed with my sister

she was living in the valley

that was nothing new 'cause i was livin' in the valley

and i could feel the pressure

man boxin' like ali

but i had his protection like 'bob

weave

bob

weave'

i was really weak

but the shepherd was beside me

technically

that was really all that i need-ed

my greatest comfort was knowing that he would not leave

now i'm down on my knees

surrendered and my arms is up

and he's workin' on me 'til i'm as strong as an armored truck

cause his committment is to finish what he said from the beginnin'

i'm surrendered and committed

let's get it. i'm alive woa-ho-hoo-ho

now i'm back from the bottom

only my god can turn tragedy to triumph

got too relaxed

man and that was the problem

i was tryin to pour out with a crack in the bottle

when there's a crack in the bottle

man

the water leaks

any house'll crumble if the mortars weak

now i understand the false sense of security

standin on sand

on sand like a florida beach

turn the page

next-chapter

caught a plane

left

came back to philly

looked around like 'what a train-wreck'

but i knew that god would fix it if i laid back

sure enough

eveything i lost jesus gave back

chyeah

and that's the essence of grace

got my life back

ressurected from the grave

got my wife back

so for the rest of my days

i'll be restin

i'm restin' my case. i'm alive woa-ho-hoo-ho
