[Verse 1: Carter Ace] Uh, everything that you gotta know From my big brother D, to my little brother, Note Started rapping when I got my mic at nine years old Now I'm touring places that I've never even heard before Called my mom and said I got off stage She called me back and said, boy, you need straight A's High school's a jungle, try not to get phased Until you go to church and you try to get praise Man I always with the government Paying these bills that I never spent Paying for cars that we never rent Paying for dents, that we never dent I dont think you've ever suffered But when I suffer, I get a little tougher Getting a little tougher kinda made me buffer And getting a little buffer kinda made me rougher Ain't no LeCrae, I dont wear Church Clothes I ain't no play-er, I dont hang with hoes Never had a father figure to hold my hand And if you are a father, try harder to be a dad Amen [Hook] I ain't never had thoughts to die
Cause I feel so damn alive So damn alive. (2x) [Verse 2: Carter Ace] Uh, everything that you gotta know From my big brother D, to my little brother Note From my baby sister J, to my little brother Steve Now you know, it's better yet not to mess with me Look at me now momma, I ain't what I used to be I think that I'm a man but you think that I'm a wannabe I wanna be that best, suprised, dont be Its kinda sad that you didn't know that old me The old me was wise, and could've been a minister The new me is mean, the new sinister At school I only acted like a thug And then I go to church and expect to get, love from above? God I think I made a fool f my self Trusting my self and not trustin' on anybody else But, I'm just a paper and a pen And God is writing these hits for me, over and over again AMEN [Hook] I ain't never had thoughts to die Cause I feel so damn alive So damn alive.
