Alive - Lyfe Jennings

Back when I was sixteen

Always loved to daydream

Favorite song was «Billie Jean»

Had the jacket, the curl and everything

Used to ride a skateboard

Never really liked sports

My favorite cousin bought a four-door Hummer

Dad in the car, crashed the very next summer

One minute you’re up

Next minute, gettin' dragged by the ice cream truck

Follow your gut

Don’t let nothin' but a earthquake shake you up

And no matter what

You look him in the face, never play it safe, no

Gotta take a chance in life

It ain’t like you gon' make it out alive

My first dog Benji

Benji was a mutt

Benji liked to bite folks

So Benji got locked up

I got my first white girl

She bought me a hat

My mama didn’t like her

So she made me give it back

Damn

One minute you’re up

Next minute, gettin' dragged by the ice cream truck

Follow your gut

Don’t let nothin' but a earthquake shake you up

And no matter what

You look him in the face, never play it safe, no

Gotta take a chance in life

It ain’t like you gon' make it out alive

Memories, memories all in my head

Time will keep ticking but I won’t forget ya

I promise you, promise you, nothing’s forever

Memories, memories all in my head

Time will keep ticking but I won’t forget ya

I promise you, promise you, nothing’s forever

Mama always blamed me

Daddy was ashamed of me

Them pills took the pain from me

But only temporarily (But only temporarily)

Then I hit puberty

But the girls wasn’t into me

I found my step dad’s magazines

My whole freshman year they called me «Vaseline»

One minute you’re up

Next minute, gettin' dragged by the ice cream truck

Follow your gut

Don’t let nothin' but a earthquake shake you up

And no matter what

You look him in the face, never play it safe, no

Gotta take a chance in life

It ain’t like you gon' make it out alive
