[Chorus]

Keep up the fight

I'm giving my all while I'm still alive

You only get one, better know your rights

You only get one, better live your life

Like uh, there's no time to rest

You hear that sound, you never know what's next

I stay around, never nothing less

Cause I might be down

But I'm not dead yet


[Hook]

I'm not dead yet

I might be down, but I'm not dead yet

I'm not dead yet

I might be down, but I'm not dead yet


[Verse 1]

There's gon' be some day

When I'm laying in the ground, underneath my grave

When I'm six feet down in between domains

When I wrote my will and gave my estate

When I look back at the life I lived

And I think about all the things I done did

All them promises and the words I meant

With no regrets, I blessed to say until then

I'm a keep living, keep doing my best

So when I'm free from all the things

That'll keep me depressed

When I'm finally able to get this weight off my chest

You gon' see me with a smile

You can have all the rest

Cause I'm still here for a minute while the sun's up

Everyday I breathe with two thumbs up

Brighter days to the sky on the come up

Everybody on my side, won't you run up

Death has no power over me

I'm alive and I breathe, no grave can hold me

Down and I see, the demons still flee

And Jesus still reigns, the King of all Kings

No evil on me cause my freedom still rings

The name of my God will conquer all things

The Devil wants me to fall on my knees

Today I stand above my enemies

From COVID-19, another crime scene

Another murder so we keep on fighting

You can't argue all the things that I've seen

I can't lie through all these words I'm writings

We all fall short, but we keep on rising

No one's a Saint, so we call the Vikings

I don't care if nobody likes me

This world is frightening, but he's still providing


[Chorus]

Keep up the fight

I'm giving my all while I'm still alive

You only get one, better know your rights

You only get one, better live your life

Like uh, there's no time to rest

You hear that sound, you never know what's next

I stay around, never nothing less

Cause I might be down

But I'm not dead yet


[Hook]

I'm not dead yet

I might be down, but I'm not dead yet

I'm not dead yet

I might be down, but I'm not dead yet


[Verse 2]

I step into the scene, I need to take a breath for me

Go until I bleed, til I succeed

Go until I see the things I dream

And I take another step and change the speed

Talk to God, begin to intercede

And I'm shooting for the stars, it's out of reach

Falling to the earth, into the sea

And I'm running for a while, I'm in the lead

Everything made new

Heart breaks to the place that I came to

Then we step into the zone, that's a breakthrough

And we walk through hell like it's the main route

Look, I gotta new plan

And it all involves being a new man

And it all involves another unresolved compassion flaw

You better start shooting man

I've got a couple of words for the most high (Most High)

Got a couple of words for the Lord (Amen)

If you burn my soul til the reprise (Reprise)

You should take my soul to the morgue (wait a minute now)

I've been off on some new heights

Yo, I’ve been looking for some more

And it don't matter if we do die

Cause we just riding all aboard

But I'll be- living and sinning

And making all of these dividends

Til I’m maybe preventing

The only thing that I see

I’ve got a minute to benefit

But I’ve seen the beginning

I'm going over the limit

I'm dealing with the police

We going over the gimmick

I know nobody will listen

And I got too many tickets

So my insurance is weak

But I'm pretending I'm timid

I'm tryna stick to the mission

I'm burning too many bridges

So now I'm finally free


[Chorus]

Keep up the fight

I'm giving my all while I'm still alive

You only get one, better know your rights

You only get one, better live your life

Like uh, there's no time to rest

You hear that sound, you never know what's next

I stay around, never nothing less

Cause I might be down

But I'm not dead yet


[Hook]

I'm not dead yet

I might be down, but I'm not dead yet

I'm not dead yet

I might be down, but I'm not dead yet

I'm not dead yet

I might be down, but I'm not dead yet

I'm not dead yet

I might be down, but I'm not dead yet
