Alive

refrain:

You can't kill the wise

We gon be here in your children's eyes

And your children's children's children's eyes

We was built to rise and we will survive

Who's gettin shitted on?

Who's gettin shitted on?

Who's the next motherfucker to get shitted on?

'Cause if that nigga is me, then we gon get it on

Don't even smile in my face if we don't get along

Yeah that's right, I sound foul (so?)

And maybe even sound bocus, but focus

just notice that I know how it feels to be hopeless

and homeless

But it ain't about hard times

Everybody goes through a struggle that makes ya mind craze

and you thinkin who's above you

but I get up, I don't stay down

I got lot of shit to climb, get with the time

You shit on me? That's fine

I'm at the finish line, now you behind

We in the race and I'm droppin your horse

Everything down my road is an obsticle course

And one by one I see 'em go down

and I'm sweatin to win

Who's goin get the gold

I see the fool is bettin, it's him

So now we're toe-to-toe, eye-to-eye

Will you survive?

My crew will strive, we clever why

We never die

It's true we rise

refrain

refrain

We stranded on jungles of concrete

Primal fear scuffing my feet

where paper scuffle spear head pens

And rhymes is good to eat

Where two species of snake meet ground

Pound instinct, swamp walkin a leech

a street parasite wedging my soul to heat

Machetero, puro latino

hybrid with hyena

Laugh it off scraping the blood sucka off

Racing a cheetah

key to the world

I walk, I talk in my step

Guerilla suited and fitted who chalk reps

Shitted with hearts knitted

My tribes kept and never slept

Night watch changing my shift

Just in case of deadly concepts

possess a myth that I could sniff

my prev's shadow in my perimeter

Sinister sounds at night

So I hibernate in the winter

refrain

refrain

I stand evenly against all odds

Now at a war with gods

so from the heavens came triggered bullets to dodge

Struggle to survive

It's never ending

My eyes locked on the bonus plan

Though adversity keeps it pending

Food, shelter, riches, hopes, dreams, wishes

But life could be like a mixer

sometimes the fader switches

Watchin as time passes to the last sand granular

Put on to run the streets without a survival manual

I move day to day, unaware but well prepared

digest the proper rations and framed lenses

to help my stare

exists 'cause I'm one step ahead

Never get ahead of myself

'cause one too many steps could be

one step ya dead

I've played many times with the chess master

Lost some of my pawns and sent my knights into shear

and great disaster

I stratagize and move through life's highway

At the end smile with a Sinatra's sureness

'cause I know I did it +my way+

refrain

refrain

"it's soul survivor"
