[Verse 1]
I, I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired
And letting all these negative thoughts collide
Why betray my mind, when I know the control is mine?
[Pre-Chorus]
Got no time to sit on the sidelines and watch ‘em play
(People around the world, people around the world)
Gotta strike like lightning, and shine like we’re not afraid
[Chorus]
I’m alive, I’m breathing today
I’m alive, just dying to make a good vibe
I’m still in the game
And I won’t live my life afraid
Hey!
(I won't live my life afraid)
[Verse 2]
No, nobody can relieve me of my ghosts
But I refuse to let ‘em define my soul
Though they come and go
I’m the one with the guts to stay
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, got no time to sit on the sidelines and watch ‘em play
(People around the world, people around the world)
Gotta strike like lightning, and shine through the pouring rain
(People around the world say)
[Chorus]
I’m alive, I’m breathing today
I’m alive, just dying to make a good vibe
I’m still in the game
And I won’t live my life afraid
Hey!
[Bridge]
Hey, ho!
Hey, ho!
Hey, ho!
Sing it back, sing it back
Sing it back, here we go!
Ladies, hey- go!
(Hey!)
Fellas, oh!
(Oh!)
[Chorus]
I’m alive, I’m breathing today
I’m alive, just dying to make a good vibe
I’m still in the game
And I won’t live my life afraid
I’m alive, I’m breathing today
I’m alive, just dying to make a good vibe
I’m still in the game
And I won’t live my life afraid
Hey!
Cody’s been through a lot in the past, including being disregarded by a partner and being bullied and excluded. He can’t change the past, but he’ll be damned if he lets it change who he is or how he is perceived.
Even if you choose to do so yourself, you aren’t here on this Earth to just sit around and watch others be successful — you have to go out and do something yourself. Set It Off have certainly made the most of their time here, and look where they are now!
