I am happy to be alive,
Cuz I know I could not be in a place that's filled with lies.
Can't stand them quiet nights while filling up my glass with pride.
Hopeful is all I know how to keep me from silent cries.
Nothing I can say,
Facing all this pain in my way,
I fight it every day.
Why am I this way?
A nigga tryna’ to maintain.
I sit and tell myself, okay,
We've got to find another way,
You’ve gotta find another way. (x2)
Don't be so down, come’on young hommie.
You’ll be okay, you'll find real love.
All of the stories the hero gets lonely.
Now is the time to show what you're made of.

Can't stand them quiet nights while filling my glass with pride.
Hopeful is all I know how to keep me from silent cries.
Nothing I can say,
Done running from the pain in my way
I'm fighting every day.

A nigga tryna’ to maintain.
I sit and tell myself, okay,
We've got to find another way,
You’ve gotta find another way. (x2)
