Spose - Living Alive lyrics

[Verse 1] My girl wants to buy a house But my credit so bad that I couldn't get a loan to buy a couch I could tell that she's disappointed when I pull the bong out Letters from the IRS arriving at mom's now Man, I guess that's just what happens here Mid-twenties trying to salvage a rap career Skip doing taxes to grab a beer, haven't worked out in like half a year Sleep past the aurora, don't give an iota Can't afford the aioli, no heart beat how my aorta I gotta stop this sh** and be prosperous like a pamphlet, brochure Because my predicament, it's sickenin', it's gruesome like a growth spurt On this road to ruin, I don't see no stop sign But this car works and I'm not dead and it's sunrise, so I got time because [Hook] Now's not too late To start fresh today So I could stop living a lie And I could start living alive Now's not too late To start fresh today So I could stop living a lie And I could start living alive [Verse 2] It's not too late If it was, I'd give up right now but I could do a lot today I could quit it all cold turkey and I could make a hot soufflé You see, fate is in my pinchers I could reach far like timbers or get feet charred by cinders But I'm living a lie, living a lie Will I win or lose? That's up for me to decide I'm not infallible, nope, I'm the sum of my flaws And I know my future's as malleable as gum in my jaws And I know each day is valuable, so I'm taking my chances My insight is that you can't get enlightened from lampin' Even if you've been wrong all your life, you could still get sh** right If you're not at d**h and you got one breath then you could still see the light I'm pulling over on the bridge, I see a kid The look in his eyes says, "I don't wanna live" Then I hop out of the whip and I walk through the traffic He says, "I can't do it" and then I looked right at him, I told him [Hook] "Now's not too late To start fresh today So I could stop living a lie And I could start living alive Now's not too late To start fresh today So I could stop living a lie And I could start living alive" [Verse 3] Look back at the path, are there puddles of blood? And lakes of tears in the tracks? Is there darkened perspiration in the nook of your arm? If not I expect to see a look of alarm, because you haven't been tryin' You've been maxin' 'n' slackin', you've been roastin' 'n' coastin' You've been chillin', buildin' sandcastles next to the ocean Man, the seas are risin', I see a diseased horizon You're gonna be ghost up in that moat if we don't see you flyin' Everything is swell up in your cerebellum You make so many excuses that it's too bad you can't sell 'em You roll out like a dice game, when the fight came Opportunities missed like a light rain You worry 'bout the future while you live in the past I know it's lonely at the top plus the middle is packed So what I like to do, is trudge from the morning till the night is through, in my hikin' boots And they grip and grind and they slip and slide but every day, my height is new I'm telling you [Hook] Now's not too late To start fresh today So I could stop living a lie And I could start living alive Now's not too late To start fresh today So I could stop living a lie And I could start living alive
