I'm Alive
U.I.C. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
But I've got everything to gain Now
I'm making moves
I hope that all my brother stay Down
How can I cruise
I run the track like I'm a Greyhound
I hit the snooze
But I'm alive and I'm awake now
I'm alive
You man are all fake
I realised
When I looked you in your eyes
It came as no surprise (Nah)
You can't tell me lies (Nah)
I can see the transparency I'm Too wise
The real is on the rise
Oh look I've arrived
You tried to shake my hand
So I had to sanitise
I'm tryna germinate the vermin
Ain't my family ties
So I exterminate before you Permeate my life
Fuck you and your clique (Clique)
I roll through with my bitch (Bitch)
I told you I ain't stopping
Now you know that I'm legit (Ha)
I was in the mix
Flipping over bricks
I had to make a switch
There's no way I'm getting Nicked (Nah)
Fuck the police
I'm in the cut with a couple of G's
Opening bags up and stuffing The cheese
Couple of bruddas were Bubbling crack
I had the cards and was shuffling P's
Couple of people stabbed me in The back
I hit the road with a troubling Steez
Like a piano man playing the Cords
I used to double a couple of keys
I told my sis not to look up to Me
Cos I ain't no role model
I've done shit that you wouldn't Believe
Some shit that would make your Soul wobble
I had no throttle
No drive
No bottle
So shy
Oh my
Now I'm so fly
Fuck what they think
They don't know I
I'm no guy
To be approached by
No Piss taking
Little toe rag
With a blade thinking that his So bad
Decapitate him with a karate Chop
Or a throat jab
Uppercut him, fuck him up or Something
Get a blade and give a tummy Tuck
Or something I'm
Tryna get the belly so bad why Cos
Ive got nothing to lose
but I've got everything to gain Now
I'm making moves
I hope that all my brother stay Down
How can I cruise
I run the track like I'm a Greyhound
I hit the snooze
But I'm alive and I'm awake now
(I'm Alive)
I'm alive
You man are all fake
I realised
When I looked you in your eyes
It came as no surprise (Nah)
You can't tell me lies (Nah)
I can see the transparency I'm Too wise
The real is on the rise
Oh look I survived
You tried to write me off So I had to strategise
I'm tryna levitate the petty hate I Can't provide
So I just meditate and elevate When I align
Fuck you and your doubt
Revoke you of your clout
Provoke you with the cheddar
Now your quiet as a mouse (Ha)
I was in my house
Plotting with my spouse
We're about to take it higher
There's no way I'm going south (Nah)
(Fuck all of that)
I'm in the booth and recording a track
I took a loss but I'm bringing it Back
I'm gunna blow and that's what I Believe
Giving it free, tryna triple a rack
Give up the gear now I'm sick With the raps
Spit like a gun, like my tongue is My wap
Like I'm a rolling stone playing The strings
I'm turning up and I'm painting It black
I tell a man he should give me Some daps
You know that I've been dapper
And if a man wanna send me a Shot
I'm ripping him up like a sweet Wrapper
Mean cracker, Been badder
I got happy now you seem Sadder
Turn a man into a beat clapper
Fuck a job, I'm a dream jabber
I'm no man to be told that
I've gotta comply with no Programme
They can hold that
When I throw it back, and I Drop it on em with a people's Elbow or a hulk smash
Double trouble,
I'm like fuck a muzzle
Sink teeth in when I cut a Bubble
I'm gassed up like a coke can
Why?
Cos I've got nothing to lose
But I've got everything to gain Now
I'm making moves
I hope that all my brother stay Down
How can I cruise
I run the track like I'm a Greyhound
I hit the snooze
But I'm alive and I'm awake now
(I'm Alive)
I'm alive
You man are all fake
I realised
When I looked you in your eyes
It came as no surprise (Nah)
You can't tell me lies (Nah)
I can see the transparency I'm Too wise
The real is on the rise
