Neo Pitso Happy To Be Alive Lyrics

[Intro]

It's my life take it how you wanna take it
Cos dawg I'm still alive so there's still a chance to make it
I'm happy to be alive, I'm just happy to be alive

[Verse 1]
I got a call say my cousin slowly dying from the AIDS bug
Can't stand watching her die so I take drugs
I got an aunty who I hates that I exist
When I was 13 she couldn't wait to tell me that I ain't shit
If you wonder why I'm all bout success
It's cos behind this smile it's all a mess
So reaching my goals help me to channel the pain and the anger and finally put it to rest
Home is where the heart is
I had it easy but my fam had it hardest
Now all I do is sit and reminisce on how I just survive
Ay life's a bitch but hey I'm still alive
[Hook]
Now I ain't talking bout the whip I might drive, the crib I might buy
Or the jet I might fly, I'm just happy to be alive
Happy to be alive, Happy to be alive
Happy to be alive happy to be uh uh
Ay don't trip homie everybody falls
Cos even in a blink you could probably lose it all
I'm just happy to be alive, happy to be alive Happy to be alive, happy to be uh uh

[Verse 2]
Happy to be alive happy to be alive
Told mama I could never be happy with 9-5
I call it ambition she's calling it foolish pride
Call it ambition she's calling it foolish
Came to a new city just tryna bowl em over
Some mother f*ckers just gave me a cold shoulder
Know that the cold shoulder, created a bold soldier
Now they draw closer, as soon as the show's over
I don't get bitter, get better, stack cheddar now
No name to bold claims I'm that nigga now
Back home they told me reach for the stars
Their jaws dropped when I supported Nas

[Hook]
Now I ain't talking bout the whip I might drive, the crib I might buy
Or the jet I might fly, I'm just happy to be alive
Happy to be alive, Happy to be alive
Happy to be alive happy to be uh uh
Ay don't trip homie everybody falls
Cos even in a blink you could probably lose it all
I'm just happy to be alive, happy to be alive
Happy to be alive, happy to be uh uh
