Obanor - I'm Alive

I'm alive, chilling in the Southside
I'm alive, chilling in the south
I'm alive chilling in the Southside
I'm alive, chilling in the south

In the Southside
Are you down to ride?
Dodging swords and bullets
Tryna stay alive
Number my life
And we all math
Follow herds and shepherds
Or make my own path
I've been drifting
Riding, surviving
Exposed to the battle
With the fear still hiding
Any day now, it could be me
The memorial forgotten so quickly
For now

I'm alive, chilling in the Southside
I'm alive, chilling in the south
I'm alive chilling in the Southside
I'm alive, chilling in the south

If we were all elevated
Not tied up and regulated
Freed up from bonds
Not segregated, just educated
We'd be rising higher
A future fighter
They know it's tighter
(They know it's tighter)
Raised with cuts and bruises, no ruses
Raised not to follow what the other brother chooses
Raised not to fall when the other brother loses
Generous to start but the angel just defuses

Wanna be more, but they weren't sure
Never shown the growth and hope
Walk in my rite
So now I decide
How I live and make my way in the Southside

I'm alive, chilling in the Southside
I'm alive, chilling in the south
I'm alive chilling in the Southside
I'm alive, chilling in the south
