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
