Keep Me Alive

(album: The Jukebox: Prelude To Class Clown - 2009)

These memories keeping me high
Yeah
What up, Sco
Uh, uh
East End Empire, motherfuckers
For life, uh

Homie, I remember everything (uh)
Every single blunt lit
Me and my homies, we was all up on that dumb shit
Hitting that one lick (one lick), getting us dumb rich (yeah)
Being extra sneaky, not leaving thumb prints (huh)
There was little Mac killing packs of Fun Dip (you know me)
And my people that been with me since a young kid (yeah)
Getting caught by my Pops blowing haze (uh)
Smoking blunts from my younger through my older days (chyeah)
Nothing goes to waste, not a day is smashed
There was dough to make (dough to make)
And we was making cash (making cash)
Banging rap 'til the neighbors called the cops (uh-huh)
Beating dudes up, throwing mollywops (get 'em)
Some people say that I'm all just talk
But I'll tell you everything about the block I walked
I wasn't cooking pies (cooking pies)
I wasn't toking guns (toking guns)
But I was looking high
Staying smoking blunts (smoking blunts)
Yeah, I stole a little bit, boy, nothing is cheap (nah)
Santa stayed putting the coal under my tree
And this is peace to my peoples (peoples)
And peace to my enemies (chyeah)
But nothing keeps me alive like my memories

[Lenny Kravitz & Mac Miller:]
You make me feel alive (These memories keep me alive)
You are my highest high (These memories keeping me high)
You make me feel alive (These memories keep me alive)
You are my highest high (Memories keeping me high, yeah)

Yeah, see, all my boys, remember, man
Growing up, younger to older
Everything, yo
So this to y'all, you know what I'm sayin'?
Aight, but yay, we have had those bad memories too, right?
Everybody got them bad memories
But it's been cool, yo (definitely)
Ha, yeah

But let's get back to the good ones (uh-huh)
We was just chasing some women, uh (chyeah)
Running the game before we playing an inning (uh-huh)
Now we need that cake to the ceiling
Cook in the kitchen, but these haters is grilling
Fill the place up with villains
'Cause we all just chilling now (chilling now)
Got the illest crowd (illest crowd)
Raising the roof, uh, breaking the ceiling down (uh-huh)
I'm iller now than when y'all first heard me (chyeah)
Peace to my peoples who listened past the first week
(Listened past the first week) And there's a lot of y'all (chyeah)
So let me take a bow (Take a bow), this to memories (uh-huh)
The drinks is on the house (Yeah)
We came a long damn way from sitting on the couch (on the couch)
Peace to all my honeys that was taking off their blouse
You'll miss me when I'm out (I'm out)
You'll need me when I'm gone (gone)
You hating forty-year-olds, I'm peeing on your lawn (tsss)
I treat you like a john, the way I treat a beat (yup)
This ain't everything, but I'll let you sneak a peek (Peace)

You make me feel alive (These memories keep me alive)
You are my highest high (These memories keeping me high)
You make me feel alive (These memories keep me alive)
You are my highest high (Memories keeping me high, yeah)
