Alive (Remix)

(альбом: The Whole Truth - 2011)

Now That I am found here
Hey, is this thing on man?
Testing one, two testin, yeah, I think it's on Jahaziel, Let's GO

I'm Alive woa-ho-hoo-ho

[Jahziel:]
Yeah, I'm in this with my brother, so let me spit on the subject
Not tryin to dig into it, but figured I'd quickly touch it
Cause I was quick to judge it, actin like I'm above it
When really I'm just the same, but my failure wasn't as public
Relaxed and I slipped, can't retract what I did
But the fact is these kids caught me snached from his grip
Nah, I ain't justifiyin a sinful life
Just hopin christian might pray for a brother before they criticize
Cause yeah, I was exposed as a fraud
Doin shows and tours til my posse told me to pause
Praise the lord, when I showed him it all
He should have showed me the door
Instead he showed me that these shoulders were broad, to bear me
See what happens when we close to the edge, clearly
Yeah the devil must have thought I was dead, nearly
So how come I'm still alive right now Dun (then)
Well I'm a pour it out on the next album, so stay tuned

I'm Alive woa-ho-hoo-ho

[Da T.R.U.T.H:]
I know where I went wrong, pride was my pitfall
Thinking I could stand 'cause I'm a vet like a sick dog
Boy was I mistaken, pacing through the thick fog
Forsaking all the basics, I raced into a brick wall
When I got free, took a trip to Cali
Stayed with my sister, she was living in the valley
That was nothing new 'cause I was living in the valley
And I could feel the pressure, man boxing like Ali
But I had His protection like 'bob, weave, bob, weave'
I was really weak, but The Shepherd was beside me
Technically, that was really all that I need-ed
My greatest comfort was knowing that He would not leave
Now I'm down on my knees, surrendered and my arms is up
And He's working on me 'til I'm as strong as an armored truck
Cause His committment is to finish what He said from the beginning
I'm surrendered and committed, let's get it. (ah!)

I'm Alive woa-ho-hoo-ho

[DA T.R.U.T.H:]
Now I'm back from the bottom,
Only my God can turn tragedy to triumph
Got too relaxed, man and that was the problem
I was tryin to pour out with a crack in the bottle
When there's a crack in the bottle, man, the water leaks
Any house'll crumble if the mortars weak
Now I understand the false sense of security
Standin on sand, on sand like a Florida beach
Turn the page, next-chapter, caught a plane, left
Came back to Philly, looked around like 'what a train-wreck'
But I knew that God would fix it if I laid back
Sure enough, eveything I lost Jesus gave back
Chyeah, and that's the essence of grace
Got my life back, ressurected from the grave
Got my wife back, so for the rest of my days
I'll be restin, I'm resting my case. (ah!)

I'm Alive woa-ho-hoo-ho
