[Verse 1]

It’s not the end of the world

I thought I’d seen the end

But it’s just beginning

I’m starting to realize

I’m coming out of my shell

I’m going through it for real

I never knew how it felt

To feel alive

Well, now I’m glad I do

Its been hell out here for Lou

A youngin’ ain’t cried in a minute

And I tried, but my heart ain’t with it

I won’t lie, I’ve done that too many

Give me one more chance

Lord, I tell you, I’ll do my best

No stealing my happiness

Cause I’ll, take joy over what they said

[Pre Hook]

No it won’t be my last try

I’ll do it again, If I’m still alive

As long as I’m here, I’ll be alright

There’s nothing to fear, if I’ve survived

[Hook]

Willing to give something

To know something

To be someone

To live

Willing to give something

To know something

To be someone

To live

(Something to live for)

[Verse 2]

I feel, no pressure

To give in, or give up

My back bends

Black don’t blend

When you feel this good

It’s whatever

Lately, you’ve been stalling

What the deal is?

Who you buying from?

Used to lip

Always listening

Nothing’s being done

Regardless

Knew my dad would never step up

My mama had to be the man too

I made it through

Got air in my lungs

Them 20 somethings are the best huh?

[Bridge]

Should I not make it back home

Let it break to my brothers, my family, my mother

I know it won’t last

But don’t hide

Live your life

And go further

What I would want for ya

Cause I sure enjoyed ya

Your pain and your laughter

It made me go faster

Don’t come running after

Cause I lived my life

I lived my life

[Pre Hook]

No it won’t be my last try

I’ll do it again, if I’m still alive

As long as I’m here, I’ll be alright

There’s nothing to fear, if I’ve survived

[Hook]

Willing to give something

To know something

To be someone

To live

Willing to give something

To know something

To be someone

To live

[Outro]

(Call me) I’m not dead

I’m not dead (Baby, I’ll be right there)

I’m not dead

No, I’m not dead

I’m not finished
