It still make a nigga sit back, think and wonder though, ya know, damn [Huey] But, first of all I thank God for a better day Gettin' money, no drugs, found a better way No more shootin' and fightin' posted in alley ways Runnin' from cops, throwin' rocks and gang ways Remember gettin' monkey wrenches turnin' hydrants on Anytime of the day, killas turn into fire zones Couldn' make it through the hood without it goin' down Jumpin' niggas, punkin' niggas to throw around I sit and wonder if I was still there, then what would I be If I was watchin' the late news, then what would I see Another homicide, another robbery But Huey made it out now and that ain't stoppin' me I know it's niggas hatin' on me, ain't nothin' new I let my big ass rims give 'em somethin' to do Third, I watchin' my back cause niggas plot It feel good to be alive but still it got me [Hook: T-Pain] Sittin' on a Cadillac, wishin' everythin' was still good at home Even though I know it's not, otherwise I wouldn't be gone I can admit that I'm bad, I got away from the sad things Every thing that can make a nigga mad (man man) I gotta say, man it feels good to be alive [Huey] Look, not only it feel good just to be alive But, it feel good to have your homies on your side And they ain't mad cause they see they nigga on the rise And they tell me, Huey do what you gotta do, I gotta shot And they know I wanna see 'em outta trouble They like you other hood, well nigga look we got the bubble Otherwise hustle to get what a nigga need And most of 'em grown, gotta take curl they seats So they out there on the grind with coke and weed And continue to be rappers C.A. impede That's why I got 'em, cause they always had me And if we had beef, everybody had heat Back in the days everybody had to eat If you went into kempt everybody had to creep To be supportive, I'm like go ahead make your profit It feel good to be alive, but still it got me [Hook] [Huey] As far as family, everybody going through Oldest brother locked up, so it's mine and Luke But were Trojan generations we gonna make it through It's fed up that my cousin had to make the news Shot five times and that ain't even a better place And all livin' cousins is wishin' for better day I'm doing good for to be raised without a papa It feels good to be alive, but still it got me [Hook]
