[Chorus]

Waking up I notice I'm still alive

In my mind, all the time I visited suicide

I was young just a rebel living his life

Keeping my head high, 8 flying a kite

I'm alive, I'm surprised I'm still alive

I'm surprised I'm still alive x3

[VERSE 1]

Used to have, Macaroni for dinner

Only one vehicle, so it was walking on winter

Going to school, still feeling like I was winning

Academically gifted and never got into distance

Always completed work and that was really the mission

Came home, and notice a different vibe

It was periodically different just felt like I should cry

But I can't, cause a young age I knew It be better

But things change like the weather

Laying in bed feeling the first signs

My brother was way too quite, so I just laid to the side

Daddy ain't home, Im just wondering where he’s at?

Is he thinking about us or is he drinking jack?

Is he thinking of changing will he ever come back?

I don’t know, understanding was hard

Only 8 years old and momma losing her job

Laid off for a minute sucks I couldn’t do nothing at all

[Chorus]

Waking up I notice I'm still alive

In my mind, all the time I visited suicide

I was young just a rebel living his life

Keeping my head high, 8 flying a kite

I'm alive, I'm surprised I'm still alive

I'm surprised I'm still alive x3

[VERSE 2]

Dreams of being bigger and visioning her applause

When I become the greatest with no worries at all

House paid, new cars and food to feed us all

I'm feeling a little Yeezy why am I so appalled

When I make 4 figures and I drive my own car

I travel every weekend, top floors I'm feeling tall

And no one seems to call I think I'm buried alive

I'm just visioning the now and moving forward in life

I look at myself now and notice that I survived

I'm gone, I just wanna make them proud

So put the speakers up loud

And follow me as a crowd

Don't matter who you are, believed me or ever doubted

I'm surrounded by these visions of having precious surroundings

Goddam,Goddam

In a different dimension, with AC for summer

And different colored picket fences

Woke up from a lucid adolescents

My God

[Chorus]

Waking up I notice I'm still alive

In my mind, all the time I visited suicide

I was young just a rebel living his life

Keeping my head high, 8 flying a kite

I'm alive, I'm surprised I'm still alive

I'm surprised I'm still alive x3

[BREAK 2]

I know, I feel I'm buried alive

Keeping my head high not thinking of suicide

I know, I gotta keep it alive

Roll it, light it, inhale it now your gone for the night
