Say$o - Still Alive

Look around don't tell me
That this shit came from nothing
'Cause there's beauty in this world
I know we came here from something

And it's a long way
Learning on your own but it's lovely
If you a man, then be a man
Can't let your brothers stay hungry

Don't let your demons take control
You gotta alternate the road
You gotta push delete then trust
That God gon' take care of your own

If you a long way from home
And ain't got nowhere to go
Just call me up on your phone
I'll fly a jet to your location

Have some patience you on a waitlist
No one knows when their time comes
And that's why I'm a real one
So when I die Ima live on

Some people die for their money
But Ima die bout my respect
'Cause money ain't on my mind
When your loyalty ain't in check

I just can't fuck with that objective
I know life can get real hectic
And that money treats a wound
But it can also leave a bandage

So I pour my heart into a setlist
Hope they understand my message
And if they don't then just forget it

And my mama told me stay outta trouble
And no matter what you do, just know that mama still love you
That shit went thru one ear, but then came out of my heart
I do this shit because I'm tryna shine a light in the dark

Yeah, like if anyone saw it they might shoot for the stars, yeah
Instead of robberies and shooting out cars
I came a long way from smelling smoke from grandpa's cigars
And losing some of my loved ones that shit still hit hard

Yeah it still hits heart, and I know it's hard, yeah
I feel like I can feel it 'cause I've known from the start
And if I play my role I know I will get far
That's why I know that Ima get it when they cast for the part

I'm curious bout the future and shit
But I'll just take it day by day and let the present exist
'Cause what's so special bout a gift when you know what's inside
That's why I never show my heart until it's ready to shine

I never show my feelings I just let 'em hide
And when the right time comes I just speak my mind
There's more to prove then what you do with that iron
Don't wanna face facts, step back, or leave it behind

You'd rather let your demons take control so you can get some peace of mind
You went with your first thought instead of giving it some time
I promise you'll regret it when the time comes
I just hope you learn your lesson if you still alive, son
