Suprised To Be Alive

[Hook] Surprised to be alive, not the only one Said the way you're living is a damn shame Need someone to carry on the family name Remember boy, you know your mama's only son [Verse] Break the chains, set a nigga free Let me off parole let a nigga be Cops on patrol, I guess they patrolling for me They want my soul, but I don't never keep it on me It's in a place that most are forbidden But anyplace is cool that's far away from prison Alice In Chains and my heart is too If your heart's in the same place, mine goes out to you And when the clock strikes two, tell you what I'm gonna do When it hits three, you know where I'm gonna be When it hits four, you know I'm out the door When it hits five I pray to God I'm still alive Even though I'm going all out, yea I'm ready to die Pullin pistols in the church in the omens of my enemies eyes Get the sticks buck 'em Fuck 'em, if there's nothing left then freedom then nothing It's nothing [Hook] Surprised to be alive, not the only one Said the way you're living is a damn shame Need someone to carry on the family name Remember boy, you know your mama's only son [Verse 2] You know, the war on drugs is not a real war on drugs The war on drugs is a real war on thugs It's a war on my brothers that's trying to make a dollar A war on niggas with nice things trying to make a collar Cause when they make collars, rich people make profit Drug money going straight into the devil's pocket Put your ass in a cage, fuckin lock it Cops ride by every thirty minutes to watch us With intentions to stop us For trying to feed our families Hollar if you hear me, just nod if you understand me It's a lot of shit in this world I don't understand It's a lot of shit in this world that I don't understand A lot of shit in this world that I don't understand That goes against the true brotherhood of man That goes against the true brotherhood of man
