So Alive
Blueprint Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So so alive (x a bunch)

Little boy
No father
Skip school
Why bother
Life's hard
Act harder
Can't cope
He'll come

Hot head
Cold world
All alone
Beats girl
Never thought
The pain would end

Feel so alive again
So so alive (x a bunch)
Feel so alive again

Little girl
Big problems
Two jobs
Two daughters
Saved up
Few dollars
With any luck
Get through college
Night school
Few years
Graduate she'd tears
Never thought the pain would end

Feel so alive again
So so alive (x a bunch)
Feel so alive again
So so alive (x a bunch)




Feel so alive again
Hey

Overall Meaning

The song "So Alive" by Blueprint tells the story of two individuals, a little boy and a little girl, both of whom have faced difficult situations in their lives. They have both experienced pain and struggle but have found a way to overcome it and feel alive again. The boy, who has grown up without a father, struggles with school and coping with life. He turns to aggression to handle his difficulties but eventually finds someone to help him through his struggles. The girl, on the other hand, has to work two jobs to support her two daughters and save for college. After a few years of night school, she graduates with tears of joy, feeling alive again.


The song highlights the message that no matter how hard life gets, there is always hope and a way to overcome it. It is a song about resilience, determination, and perseverance.

I remember meeting blueprint at one of their rhymesayers shows in seattle and he had such a huge inner peace, I couldn't help but be relaxed speaking to him. respect the architect!

This guy is not selling out people, he's singing. Singing about some relevant too. He's still getting his emotions, and feelings out through this song, and his other type of music. He's trying something new, but trust me this guy is dope. If you don't think he's real hip hop, or think he's selling out go to one of his concerts. He's probably one of the best artists out there, and just because he singing in one song doesn't make him any less of one of the best artists, or lyricists today.

Whatever people are saying is meaningless because ALL of it is natural & you can tell….at least I can 🖤🤤

I saw Blueprint live at Boma in Columbus Ohio on accident, he wasn't scheduled, just came on out of nowhere, was a great night with a friend that recently passed, chills.

@CircularTheory

@DubiousDiggieDungPow

Blueprint is fuckin KILLIN IT these days. All of his recent material has exceeded my expectations by far. I'm diggin the versatility.

@jaydisqus3353

You might be my favorite local artist, don't change.

@goose3249

caught him in SD last night, one of the realest cats out there today

@lostboyzrambo801

he's not selling out, he's actually doing the opposite. rapping how he feels. "so alive" he was working a 10 hour a day job before he started rapping so he's expressing his transformation in this song

@jamesemilio8671

Its not change, its progression. Learn the difference.
