I learned a lot inside a year
That handful of months
Another turn around the sun
I'm still cold and burning up
Like a raisin in the sun
And I'm numb from smoking blunts
I don't feel it when they hit me
Way my father used to beat me
I don't think I'd really feel it
If a car swerved and hit me
What does God got against me
I've been doing stupid shit like
And selling
I even tried to rob a bitch that got
Raided by police
I'm just glad it wasn't me
And that keep me up at night
But I'm used to losing sleep
Because I live inside a house
That's full of water neck deep
So I'm always f*cking fighting
To keep my head above the water
If I could walk on top of oceans
I'd change the whole world and make it better for my mother
And get a message from my sister
That's just f*cking fiction
She out there flirting with addiction
She ain't got no time to call me
Me you and our father
All hopeless alcoholics
If you get a chance to call me
Just remember that I love you
And I'll always be your brother
And there were times that I didn't want to live but
Thank God I'm alive
And to them times that I didn't want to live
Thank God I'm alive
For all the times that I didn't want to live
Thank God I'm alive
And to the times that I didn't want to live
Thank God I'm alive
I remember being young
I'd ask a lot of questions
Like why's there so much hatred
And why they call me crazy
Mama said I fell from heaven
Smacked my head on the pavement
And that's why they call me crazy
But that's why I love you baby
And the day you stop fighting
That's the day you turn crazy
I could never pay you back
But I'ma start with a Mercedes
When I blow up I'ma get you everything you wanted now
It'll never be the same
Riding through H-town
Got a Chevy full of gas
Roll the windows down
Hope I find some peace of mind
'Fore the sun goes down
And there were times that I didn't want to live but
Thank God I'm alive
And to them times that I didn't want to live
Thank God I'm alive
For all the times that I didn't want to live
Thank God I'm alive
And to the times that I didn't want to live
Thank God I'm alive
