Staying Alive

on All on Me - EP (2017)

(Verse)
Maine Event:
Look
I wonder if god listen when I talk to him
It's been a minute but I need to have this talk with him
I been slipping on my shit, man I'm sorry I cussed
But I'm only human being, this shit hard as fuck
But uh let me tone it, make use of this moment
I been going through a lot, and I been needing a homie
So I'm hoping when I talk god, you up there listening
Tell Damian wassup cause the fam really missing him
Spread my wings, I'm just tryna fly
Man I does what I do, trynya stay alive
Got too much ambition for a 9 to 5
Feel like being in the booth is my only job
Could've sold dope & robbed like some niggas I knew
But momma told me god had plans bigger than you
You think it's real now, shit can get realer for you
Chose this life, now it's time to make my dreams come true

(Hook)
Arlon:
Hell no I ain't perfect
Im too busy tryna make progress
But I growed up, now I know my purpose
Man im just out here tryna stay alive
Stay alive, stay alive
You know ima shoot but I gotta aim high
Prayed to god all my life
Keep ya head high, man you gotta stay alive

(Bridge)
Arlon:
Staying alive, Staying alive
I gotta keep my head up
Still gotta get my bread up

Staying alive, Staying alive
Still gotta get my bread up
Still gotta keep my head up

(Verse)
Maine Event:
Ain't afraid to admit, shit I cry sometimes
I know I shouldn't, but I question god why sometimes
Balance my lows, roll up and get high sometimes
I'm just talking bout my life when I write these rhymes
Late night sessions penning recital lines
While them niggas in the club, I ain't got no time
Born alone, so if you ain't got my back that's fine
Probably have this state of mind till the day that I die
Grew my hair out, my girl told me grow my beard out
Changing locations, have them guessing bout my whereabouts
Love my city but I also love the road
When I'm gone I'm home sick, when I'm home I'm sick of home
My niggas with me, one hand ain't build Rome
That's why I try to show love in almost every song
And we make it I just hope that we embrace it
And use it to over come every obstical we facing nigga

(Hook)
Arlon:
Hell no I ain't perfect
Im too busy tryna make progress
But I growed up, now I know my purpose
Man im just out here tryna stay alive
Stay alive, stay alive
You know ima shoot but I gotta aim high
Prayed to god all my life
Keep ya head high, man you gotta stay alive

(Bridge)
Arlon:
Staying alive, Staying alive
I gotta keep my head up
Still gotta get my bread up

Staying alive, Staying alive
