[Verse 1: Speech]

I performing for a crowd who be dating me as they jam

And rate me for who I was and not rate me for who I am

The last hits that we had was like 20 years in the past

And [?] they thinking that was our best and our success was just a fad

3 hits 'bout all we had

Despite it, we don't get mad and instead we just change the stats

Every show, every CD making the dollars think again

Hurricane when we came in, living like sink or swim

We swimming since the beginning, the coverage is all on them

But we kept stroking our own way, not lovers of every trend

So we, live stronger; healthier, live longer

Went against the grain just like people that's low carbon

So we doing it, live and direct, you feel how true we is

Eye-witnesses to the beauty of life music, it's

Arrested Development, powerful we influencing

Music and revolution until we see more solutions

Hey, everybody shake your head, shake out the Devil now

Lazarus raising the dead, come out the tombs, child

We're alive now

We're alive now

We're alive now

Living

[Hook: Tasha Larae]

Every day I rise on a mission

Please forgive me if I mess up

I'm improving, living living

Honey, baby, I'm just human

If the sun shines down on me today

I would try to live in a better way

Please forgive me when I'm [?]

That's a part of living

[Verse 2: Speech]

The [?] talks about dying and crack cocaine and the violence

And station saturated with the more music be thriving

People compare and contrast, whatever our beat lacks

Is made up by the mere fact where the only other option

[?] like I'm an alien 40-plus years and up

Fortifies that something real is the presents that they don't want

But the present don't really get my presence and all my points

Now I think, work, play it and live it with aching joints

They acting like I'm dumb, including my only son

He's 16 acting like that he's doing a 61

It's like as if height equals might in wisdom

He smirks like he knows what I'ma say before I'm done

He just wants to have fun, wanna eat, wanna lay, wanna shop

Wanna look a certain way, wanna chill, he wanna stop

That craziness, [?] this generation

Is raised with pure laziness; am I further dating us?

I know it, they wanna put in their headphones, escape in a world

They want to get up on their cellphones and be late with little girls

I continue to amount 5 feet 11 inches

It's the last inch is where my digging stops, I don't [?]

I won't put you to death, I brought you life

Through my sperm and my music, yeah, I brought it twice

So we doing it, live and direct, you feel how true we is

Eye-witnesses to the beauty of life music, it's

Arrested Development, powerful we influencing

Music and revolution until we see more solutions

[Bridge: Tasha Larae]

Everybody hear me out

We are in the here and the now

Living

[Pre-Hook: Speech]

So we doing it, live and direct, you feel how true we is

Eye-witnesses to the beauty of life music, it's

Arrested Development, powerful we influencing

Music and revolution until we see more solutions

Hey, everybody shake your head, shake out the Devil now

Lazarus raising the dead, come out the tombs, child

We're alive now

We're alive now

We're alive now

Every day I rise on a mission

Please forgive me if I mess up

Honey, baby, I'm just human

If the sun shines down on me today

I would try to live in a better way
