(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
