[Verse 1:]
They say we are different, what's that common ground?
One day everybody go lay in that ground (yap)
If death is certain, then how you livin?
And if heaven's real, tell me how you get in
I'm a bet it on my life, it ain't gonna be bout works
So I bet it all on Christ, boy let me give you this work
Way before the moment I crawl I already been in that hurst
I'm already dead, I'm living in reverse
The first will be last and the last will be first
Following Jesus don't mean that there won't be pain
But ehm it does promise that none of it is in vain
And ehm I'm not afraid of that persecution that came
I'm more afraid of the fame and people knowin my name
[Hook:]
Take me alive, take me alive
Take me alive while I'm still here
Take me alive, take me alive
Take me alive, take me while I'm still here
Take me alive, take me alive
Take me alive, take me while I'm still here
Take me alive, take me alive
Take me alive, take me while I'm still here
[Verse 2:]
Keep riding low key, y'all know me
Soli deo gloria be to the Father
I can't lie though sometimes I want it all for me
Urgh gotta kill that, gotta kill it
Don't conceal that but reveal it
But I don't care what you think about me
The Father know it all then I'm still forgiven
I must decrease cause the way up is down
And His kingdom is up there, as crazy as that can sound
That's why blood is rushing through my hand
Dying is how I live
If you love your life, you lose it
If you lose it, then you gain it, and
Wisdom is justified by all the children
God's worthy of my worship, so I'm defying my feelings
In my mess, there's a message
In my chest, testimony
He say no, I get to know Him, when I'm on that Rock
Use your brodie!
I cannot be more, stacky dough
Love me some shoes, shoulda cop me two
But I'm thinkin about the boxes inside my room
And I think about the kids that ain't got no food
Whoo, that one hurt, the truth is a mother
The price of the lies when they come up
Heavy when they run up, the dark will reveal when the sun up
Everyday we're dying
[Hook:]
Take me alive, take me alive
Take me alive while I'm still here
Take me alive, take me alive
Take me alive, take me while I'm still here
Take me alive, take me alive
Take me alive, take me while I'm still here
Take me alive, take me alive
Take me alive, take me while I'm still here
