I'm Alive Songtext
von Mic Geronimo

Yeah
Times are hard
Oh yeah
For me
Had a moment to myself
And I asked
Why me?
All these ups and downs
Oh

A manic depressive, but what could have me bad as this?
When I′m locked in the bathroom, cut my wrist

Could it be that I'm tired of my life going one way
The same ass struggle from Sunday to Sunday?

Damn, I used to keep a hundred grand
And it hurts when my girl saying she don′t understand
And she cried too, saying baby they denied you


And you got them haters in the game who despise you
Or could it be that I've been living in a fantasy?
Thinking niggas really cared, saying they were family
A bad dream, seen them stand around
And they watch me drown, I heard they mock me now
Well fuck 'em, now that I′m getting back on my feet
And I′m focused, we all gon' sit down and eat
And the streets said, Mike man, we need you back
The game′s a puzzle and son, you a piece of the rap

And I love that, that's why I′m doing what I'm doing
Y′all and God, the only things getting me through it
And when the rain rains hard, the sun will shine
I'm only here to get mine, see

No one ever said it would be easy
I know it takes a lot to get by
Even when they ain't making no room for me
I′m making room for me, watch me fly

Now, now, you can see the pain in my eyes
Shit, I flew through the back windshield of my ride
And I damn near died, and uh
What I′ve been going through about three years
Been enough with it here, I couldn't shed no tears
Imagine losing everything you ever owned
From your ice, crib, your whip, your girl, and home
And then you and only you alone getting by
And the man in the mirror, he ain′t nothing but a lie


And you try hard, but you not getting richer
And you grind hard, but they won't see the picture
So you say now, maybe I should leave the pain
Hurt so bad, there′s nothing I could never explain
Then I said to myself, you control everything
That's around you, nigga, you the master
Nigga, suck it up, get your weight up, avoid your disaster

Longer, stronger, harder, faster

No one ever said it would be easy
I know it takes a lot to get by
Even when they ain′t making no room for me
I'm making room for me, watch me fly

Before they speak a word against me, I have no shame
Had to run and pawn my chain in the pouring rain
Before they spread lies, it best be raising some questions
I done made mistakes, I done learned from my lessons
They gon' tell you my temper had me out of control

I was blinded by the pot and wouldn′t look at the road

Some may even say the closest motherfuckers to be got me
By generosity, praying that my haters will stop me

Fuck ′em, I don't care, they gon′ walk anyway
Fuck 'em, I don′t care, they gon' talk anyway
And I′ve been through the drama, see this life's a strain
Hope you never see what I did of the hurt and pain
And I walk through this road with a cross to bear
No mistakes I can think of or care to share
Now I'm here, I′ma live mine till my death
Kill the game till nothing′s left
I'm alive

No one ever said it would be easy
I know it takes a lot to get by
Even when they ain′t making no room for me
I'm making room for me, watch me fly
No one ever said it would be easy
I know it takes a lot to get by
Even when they ain′t making no room for me
I'm making room for me, watch me fly

Everything I do
Everywhere I go
They don′t wanna see me grow
They don't want me going all the way
I ask myself
Why me?

They want me gone away
Why they gotta pull me down?
Every time I try to come up
They wanna pull me down
All the way down
Till I have nothing left
What did I do to you?
What have I done myself into?
