I am happy to be alive
Cause I know I could not be in a place
That's filled with lies
Can't stand no quiet nights
Why I fill up my glass with pride
Hopeful is all I know
How to keep me from silent cries
Nothing I can say
Facing all this pain in my way

I fight it every day
Why am I this way?
A nigga tryna maintain
I sit and tell myself: okay
We gotta find another way
You gotta find another way
You gotta find another way

Don't be so down, c'mon young homie
You'll be okay, you'll find real love
All of the stories, the hero gets lonely
Now is the time to show what you're made of
Don't be so down, c'mon young homie
You'll be okay, you'll find real love
All of the stories, the hero gets lonely
Now is the time to show what you're made of

I am happy to be alive
Cause I know I could not be
In a place so filled with lies
Can't stand no quiet nights
Why I fill up my glass with pride
Hopeful is all I know
How to keep me from silent cries
Nothing I can say
Done running from this pain in my way
I'm fighting every day
Why am I this way?
A nigga tryna maintain
I sit and tell my self: okay
We gotta find another way
You gotta find another way
You gotta find another way

Don't be so down, c'mon young homie
You'll be okay, you'll find real love
All of the stories, the hero gets lonely
Now is the time to show what you're made of
Don't be so down, c'mon young homie
You'll be okay, you'll find real love
All of the stories, the hero gets lonely
Now is the time to show what you're made of

Don't be so down, c'mon young homie
You'll be okay, you'll find real love
All of the stories, the hero gets lonely
Now is the time to show what you're made of
