Alive Lyrics & Chords By Stose

Growing up I was alone Just me and Momma living in an Oldsmobile with no home That Ol' Virginia heat creeping in that broken window Back seat living, I'm gonna be ok though One night my Pops put his hand to her face My Momma started running, running like she in a race Gotta get away from that place Gotta look fear in the face Gotta wipe the tears from your face Gotta keep running, running, running keep it face paced Days turned into weeks and weeks into months Momma needed money for our home, needed money, money, money for the pumps Minimum wage jobs were the only thing that was calling Things were looking bleak but our spirits were never falling Never knew how bad things were at the time Looking back I'd kill my Dad for crossing that line Praying for a God Send Praying for the world to end Praying for the evil to leave I need to breathe, so I can feel again Praying for a God Send Praying for the world to end Praying for the evil to leave so I can feel again I wanna feel again, I wanna feel real life I wanna feel alive. Yeah sure, now everything is fine But if I could, I'd reach inside my dad's chest and rip out his heart, just because he stole mine So then my Momma found a new man who had money Saw the joy in her eyes, made me laugh like something was funny He promised us a good life and put us under a roof Little did i know that was far from the truth The only thing he gave me was my two little sisters, I love em When this shit pays off, the world Imma give em They were wearing 'I got the best dad' on their bib I was wearing bruises from kicks to my ribs Praying for a God send Praying for the world to end I wanted it to end, the edge it was calling I knew life would be better if I was falling Rose from the ashes, now bitch I'm ballin So I picked myself up, turned my life around Gotta be successful, gotta make Momma proud Gotta get my message across, I'm gonna scream it loud Before I die you'll know what this kid's about These tattoos ain't the only thing that's skin deep The first half of my life I felt like I was asleep Now I am back up from that nightmare, got something to declare Never give up, it gets better I swear Keep on fighting I had the pain in my heart but I kept on writing Dug inside my brain and I healed myself Took out all my problems and I put em on a shelf Put em on a shelf so that I can always see em Look back and know that I defeat em Some empty pages in my life and I'm about to complete em Oh you got some pages? I'm about to read em.
