Alive Ain’t Always Living Lyrics by Quelle Chris

DEATHFAME

2022

[Intro]
Yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
I'm so grateful, so grateful to be alive
But alive ain't always living, sometimes niggas just survive
Day to day, plate-to-plate, two-piece and fries
Or the steak with leaves on side, sometimes low and sometimes high
I'm so thankful for these people by my side
Lord, I know what I done wrong, tryna be what I done right
Veinticuatro, siete días, me, oh my
You can keep the feast and wine, I just want my peace of mind
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
Oh yеs, sir, it happens
Go from FOMO to F-O-H, full Dr. Manhattan
Present thе elegance of pain, the posture for passion
The rebirth, the passing, the green earth amassing
Open these palms of mine, let the stars align
Had to work hard to see the God in me, but I know it's time
Man, we tryna get up top, keep reachin', shit, I'm tryna peak the mountain too
If everything happens for a reason, I ain't really got shit else to do
[Chorus]
But be grateful, grateful just to be alive
But alive ain't always living, sometimes niggas just survive
Day to day, plate-to-plate, two-piece and fries
Or the steak with leaves on side, sometimes low and sometimes high
I'm so thankful for these people by my side
Lord, I know what I done wrong, tryna be what I done right
Veinticuatro, siete días, me, oh my
You can keep the feast and wine, I just want my peace of mind
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
Tsk, my nigga, look
I could write the book how fit he got just walking city blocks
Bottles poppin' off, so many lost, plenty, my memory's shot
Turning cold shoulders to warm shoulders, forgive me not
I watched the pot, still boiled fast, look at your ass, just like your pops
Apples don't fall far
Shackles and family scars, tobacco by the carton for him
The cologne, beg my pardon if the smell does offend
Mi compadre and cadre, rang me up on a dark day
Said, "Here's some notes, need to make some bold decisions
Call your folks while they still living, let them know you right here with them
Don't go ghost, hold tight that love you been given
Takes work to hang ribbons in the sky, now why you gon' let that go up in smokes?"
Heaven knows time flies
Take a penny, leave a penny, skip a meal to feed the many
I plead the fifth and better believe me, I only want for what is needed
I ain't too proud to be defeated, just get back up on my feet to say
[Chorus]
I'm grateful, grateful just to be alive
But alive ain't always living, sometimes niggas just survive
Day to day, oh, plate-to-plate, two-piece and fries
Or the steak with leaves on side, sometimes low and sometimes high
I'm so thankful for these people by my side
Lord, I know what I done wrong, tryna be what I done right
Veinticuatro, siete días, me, oh my
You can keep the feast and wine, I just want my peace of mind
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
