[Intro]

It's good to be alive, yeah!

[Verse 1]

Uh, used to be dog days and stressed nights

Now I see sunshine and catch flights

I was always the loudmouth to start fights

Always ended with court dates and pinstripes

I got sick of that, bad vibes I got rid of that, yeah

And I done gave them too much time I can't get it back

I done fell too many times, had to start from scratch

Promised mama I would change, had to give her that

It's good to put a smile on her face

Knowing that I caused so much pain and disgrace

Trapped in the life, found a way to escape

Feel like God put me through it 'cause he knew I wouldn't break

'Cause he knew that I would grow, never knew my worth

But he knew that I was gold, locked in the cell

It was there I found my soul, destined to fail

Determined to break the mold, I was forward thinking

Healthy choices equal healthy living, lead by example

Gotta live the vision, more unity and not division

Love your neighbor and- *gunshots*

(Flatline)

[Verse 2]

Damn, tell me this ain't real

Tell me I'm dreaming

Hope it ain't my mother over there screaming

Tell why I'm laying over here bleeding

Tell me why now? How it's my time to sign out

Blood flowing out of my mouth

I was just changing my life, I was just making things right

Can't die, gotta keep fighting

Why y'all filming, give me some air

I'm losing blood, starting to fade

Regrets from my past starting to play

Who would've knew today was the day

My family depending on me

They need me here, not in the grave

Not scared to die, but not in this way

Gasping for air, nothing to say

Wish I could say my goodbyes, tell them I love them

Tell them to keep this **** running

Tell them look after my mother, tell them to love one another

Don't turn your back on your brother

Guess its my time, guess it was part of the plan

I did the best that I can

I made mistakes, I'm just a man

Hope God forgives, he understand
