Yeah
Yeah
Tell-A-Vision
Yeah
Why am I here
I'm navigating through all the pain, hurt and the fear
Its finally 2020 my vision still isn't clear
Cause all I see is death, we're born then disappear
When my uncles wife passed, his whole world got to crashing
Piece of him died just laying there in the casket
Saw my life flashing, thinking how could this happen
Now a widow father raising three, man its tragic
Ever since that day, I could say, life is truly a blessing
But it's fragile, we can leave any second
When I got the news, Kobe Bryant passed, it was so unexpected
Lord I ask that you will send your protection
Cause it feel like death is right around the corner staring me in the eye
I don't wanna live just to survive
I don't wanna slave, 40 years at a job, waiting to die
There's a question in the back of my mind
I hope you answer it
God why am I alive
There's more to life than 9-5
God why am I alive
Lord I'm grateful for my time
But do we live just to die
Nah why am I alive
I'm asking why am I alive
There's more to life than 9-5
God why am I alive
Lord I'm grateful for my time
But do we live just to die
Nah they're gotta be more, I'm sorry they're gotta be
I'm just tryna change the world, cause there is a lot of grief
I'ma make my family proud, my mama so proud of me
My daddy so proud of me, my brother my prodigy
I'ma be that good example cause people they follow me
Why you take your time with music, because of the quality
I can never rush a song, that isn't a part of me
All my lyrics have a meaning and that is the art in me
I can feel it in my blood and pumping in arteries
I was put on Earth to serve, the pride in me gotta flee
People say I'm a good person, I promise I try to be
I'ma lift yo spirit higher, c'mon and fly with me
Boy you gotta see
Yeah
That we were born so we can be a blessing
How can we help the earth, that is the biggest question
Remember spread love, love we gotta spread it
Everybody gotta purpose don't you all forget it
Man
So why am I alive
There's more to life than 9-5
God why am I alive
Lord I'm grateful for my time
But we don't live just to die
Nah why am I alive
I'm asking why am I alive
There's more to life than 9-5
God why am I alive
Lord I'm grateful for my time
But we don't live just to die
Nah, we don't
