NATESAYRE - Act Alive Lyrics

I have been up all night just writing thinking of ways to get to my dream
It was hard at first but my hands are tied I'm locked in I can't sleep
Got a full-time job but I still got time to write bars with a flow like these
I take care of my kids and my family first then I worry about me

Half of the rappers these days they don't care about nothing except how they're gonna get paid
And if I'mma be real I think that it's time for me to think like them and get on the same page
Cause I have been broke for a minute like dang all of my friends was fake
I gave them all that I had but when it came to me they just changed

Cause even if I spill my heart out let it all bleed out from my chest I don't think that you would care
So I just keep it all in my head I have been saying for years
I act alive but feel like I'm dead
I'm just a man on a mission when I get what I want I can rest

But that's still a long time away still too many bills left to pay
I know that it's coming soon but that won't help me today
When I get that letter in the mail saying that rent's overdue
I feel I'm doomed can't even say it to you

So how in the f*ck can I ever look in the face of my kids and say
Go chase your dreams when I haven't even done shit
To chase mine so I think that it's time to make them believe
Make them believe in the man that they see

Let them know nothing in this world is free
If you want what you want then you gotta get up and work harder than everyone else that you see
Let them know to spill your heart out let it all bleed out from your chest
Let the world know the real you never keep it all in your head

I've been saying for years I act alive but feel like I'm dead
But now I think that it's time to let the world know that I'm next
