Alive

[Verse One] I got them, no trip, straight line rhymes Like the Grand Concourse and 1-4-9 But in L.A. the writer's pitch was at Fairfax and Olympic At [?] on the block where Ethiopians kick it Salaam It's like the mic's a part of my arm I use it to make my mark on the world like Krylon I give the special ladies a shoulder to cry on And anyone that sleeps, a Platform to die on Buck, buck, buck, buck, buck, buck Construction begins But the original structure's within You gotta keep living Use all the gifts you've been given And be precise with your blueprints But these rookies are too sloppy to work the plan out I tell 'em "Don't be to greedy to pull your hand out." Cats that radiate can't help but stand out We're travelling but air, sea and land route Mega live, electrify, straight hazardous Expansion Team sound system is sinking battleships This is where poetry and pride collide My advice is to survive y'all...stay alive [Hook] Stay alive y'all Love life and live long People live and let live, live right or live wrong Stay alive y'all Love life and live long People live and let live, live right or live wrong Stay alive y'all Love life and live long People live and let live, live right or live wrong Stay alive y'all "For the rest of life" People live and let live, live right or live wrong [Verse Two] They want the best at work they want the best at play They call R.A.K.A.A A good enough reason for your crew to stay away Aslan to The Bay, C.A. all day I'ma, master builder, full service contractor Hard hat cat with dump trucks and tractors Respect sacred ground where spirits and bones live Headed to pyramids and I've been to Stonehenge So I, know the ingenuity of men The original structure lies within Live you got to live or you die within If you don't live the truth you live a lie within We build from the ground up you on deadly ground I told y'all to take Caution on Unbound I take flight then I cut through the night If you clowns get too fly, you get gunned down I'd rather build than battle But I battle so we don't build another Tower of Babble Trying to keep us together so I'm moving it worldwide I'd advise you survive y'all Stay alive [Hook]
