FLAME - Alive lyrics

Remember it like it was yesterday
Had to get up out my school
Cause them dudes they ran up and they
Lookin' for me with them tools
The principal didn't even trip
Security didn't trip
So I had to secure my safety
Makin' me have to dip
So I hit that highway, takin' 70 to 55
Heading off to South County now
From the hood that's a long drive
Now I'm at this new school
Ready to study a trade
Hopin' somebody would trip
Ready to bloody a face
But that's just orientation
So I'ma slow my roll
Plus I see this girl I like
And hopin' I get to know
So we hit the whip again
Now we head back to the hood
But I got this feeling we ain't chilling it
Ain't nothing good
Then I see this truck on our
Side like it's 'bout to pass
But I look up and guess
What? We about to crash
Next we collide, 'bout to die
I couldn't even yell
Only thing I'm thinking is I'm
About to go to hell

Jesus snatched me out death, see it was 1999
I ain't livin' for myself
I'm realizing I ain't mine
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive
Jesus snatched me out death, see it was 1999
I ain't livin' for myself
I'm realizing I ain't mine
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive

Me and my wife just hit the road
Hopped in the whip to get to Saint Lou
We didn't know what was 'bout
To unfold, better tell it, Everything cool
So we ridin' down the highway
Right … what's the time of the day? Night
Everything is ok, right … plus
We make time to pray, Nice
Then we get to the STL
Drop my wife off to get some z's
'Bout to kick it with Json
And Stefan over at Kenny's
We decide to walk through the store
It's four of us so we know we cool
Then we seein' this car passin' us by
Stoppin' it made a U
Json like "man them dudes is trippin"
Man you trippin', let's just proceed
On the way back from the store we
Smell the smoke of the potent weed
But ain't nobody out till we hear
That voice tell us "lay down"
Two dudes runnin' towards us
4's, 5's, 9's, Get on the ground
Now we see them barrels wavin'
Life flash before our eyes
If his finger slip all 4 of
Us is goin' with God
All I'm thinking is Lord if this
Is how the story goes
I'll be fine 'cause in '99
Jesus saved my soul

Jesus snatched me out death, see it was 1999
I ain't livin' for myself
I'm realizing I ain't mine
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive
Jesus snatched me out death, see it was 1999
I ain't livin' for myself
I'm realizing I ain't mine
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive

Everything I did then I was
Trippin' off of people
I was living for my friends but
My heart was really evil
I was worshiping my money
I was worshiping my shoes
Wasn't thinking about my soul
Worshiping girls in the school
I was living for myself like I
Was stuck in a rut
And I couldn't get up like I
Was cut in the gut
I was bleeding from my side and
I didn't wanna fix the wound
You see I thought I was alive
I was chillin' in my tomb
I was holding on to sin like
It was my baby daughter
Baby boy, I was deceived
It was leading me to the slaughter
Wasn't thinking about Jesus
Wasn't thinking about the curse
Wasn't thinkin' bout the fall
Wasn't thinking about this verse
I was thinkin' 'bout nothing but
Myself in those days
What it took Jesus Christ to
Get himself out the grave
And 2000 years later he got me out the grave
Now I'm rapping on this mic to
See you out the grave

Jesus snatched me out death, see it was 1999
I ain't livin' for myself
I'm realizing I ain't mine
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive
Jesus snatched me out death, see it was 1999
I ain't livin' for myself
I'm realizing I ain't mine
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive
