Paroles Alive Flame

Alive

[Intro:]
Yeah... Uh
I just want to talk to you for a minute man
See I want you to know what God has done in my life
And I want you to know that he can do the same thing for you
Talk to Him
The Lord has spared me from a lot of different things man
Listen

[Verse 1:]
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 [?]
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 and drink
Hopin' somebody would trip, ready to bloody a fist
But that's just orientation, so I'm gonna 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 can't even yell,
Only thing I'm thinking is I'm about to go to heaven

[Hook:]
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
[Repeat]

[Verse 2:]
Me and my white kicks hit the road,
Hop to the whip to get to Saint Lou
We didn't know what was 'bout to unfold
What up? 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
Pop the kickin' with Json and Stefan and [?]
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 (ahhh)
Json like, man who's this trip?
Man you trippin' let's just proceed
All the way back from the store we smell the smoke of the potent weed
But ain't nobody out until we hear that voice tell us "stay there"
[?] 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 moving on
All I'm thinking is Lord if this is how the story goes
I'll be fine 'cause in '99 Jesus saved my soul

[Hook:]
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
[Repeat]

[Verse 3:]
Everything I did then I was tripping 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 chilling with my crew
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

[Hook:]
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
[Repeat]

[Outro:]
Tryin to set you free man. I wanna see you as a free man.
You feeling me?
If you on the run, stop running man.
Yeah... that's real talk
