Alive (Remix)

(Now that I am found you) hey, is this thing on, man?
 Testing one, two testin', yeah, I think it's on, Jahaziel
 Let's go
 (I'm alive) oh, oh (whoa-oa), feel so good
 (I'm alive) oh (whoa-oa), said, it feels so good
 (I'm alive) (oh) I'm alive, I'm alive (whoa-oa) (feels so good), yeah
 (I'm alive) (I'm alive) I run this street (whoa-oa) uh
 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 snatched from his grip
 Nah, I ain't justifyin' 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) oh, everybody in the building (whoa-oa), let me hear you say
 (I'm alive) I'm alive, I'm alive (whoa-oa), feels so good
 (I'm alive) I'm alive, I'm alive (whoa-oa), said it feels so good
 (I'm alive) we alive, you alive (whoa-oa), oh
 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 needed
 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 commitment is to finish what He said from the beginnin'
 I'm surrendered and committed, let's get it, ah!
 (I'm alive) say (whoa-oa), oh, said it feels so good
 (I'm alive) I shall live and not die (whoa-oa) and declare the word of Jesus
 (I'm alive) I'm alive, I'm alive (whoa-oa), said it feels so good
 (I'm alive) oh (whoa-oa), I love this part, uh
 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, everything I lost Jesus gave back
 Chyeah, and that's the essence of grace
 Got my life back, resurrected from the grave
 I got my wife back, so for the rest of my days
 I'll be restin', I'm restin' my case, ah
 (I'm alive) oh, everybody say (whoa-oa), said it feels so good
 (I'm alive) I'm alive, I'm alive (whoa-oa), said it feels so good
 (I'm alive) I'm alive, I'm alive (whoa-oa), said it feels so good
 (I'm alive) I'm alive, I'm alive (whoa-oa), you alive, we alive
 Take it home
 It's a brand-new day, all the old things gotta pass away
 Pass away, yeah, pass away
 The devil's been actin' cold, but you're alive today
 Oh (pass away), yeah (pass away)
 Put your hands together
 Put your hands together, put your hands
 Lift 'em high
 Put your hands together, put your hands together
 Guess He gave you life, put your hands-
 Put your hands together
