Curtis Foster - I'M ALIVE (INTRO) Lyrics

I present to you a piece of mind
Scribbled on these sheets with lines
Riddled with questions, the answers which I never seem to find
Am I ignorantly blind or obscenely sublime?
Humming my cupboard thoughts until a buzz is caught
Like bees in a hive
I seek to seize this life and make it somethin' sweeter
Like Jesus did wine
No need to rewind, we goin' places
Here, let me get the keys to the ride
I been putting in the work without a timecard for a minute now
Game I'm playing is testing my patience like it's a clinic now
I'm a cynic now, you can see it in my demeanor
Words I spit acidic like sipping on Aquafina
Music in my genes, when they see me I never leave eyes
Breaking bread with me 'n mine, we splitting digits like peace signs
When I step in the room with a method to move
They feet right like some knee-highs
And I'm blessed in the booth, when I vent it's communion
Trading strife with these rhymes
Fusing different influences
So many for picking, choosing
This music lift my soul off the ground
So it let me pick my shoes up
Used to say I was tied up
But it was just excuses
Almost executed my fate by hanging back
Couldn't let the noose fit
Gusto what I come for
Said it's Curt here, no Russell
My ego like Cee-Lo
It's a "f*ck you", but no humble
Yeah, I bring the whole package and some more
Deluxe flow, it's a bundle
I got folks who always gon'
Have my back like a trust fall
1am, sun is dead
Eyes are dry, rubbing red
Writing rhymes, stomach empty
I don't mind, run it, yeah
Impressed by the foundation like a handprint in some concrete
Neglecting beef with the fake, I don't eat a plate of beyond meat
Tried to hide from the past
But every time it's coming back
All in stride, run it back
Walls are finally crumbling
Moving mountains out my way
Idle hands hold the cards of fate
But just today I was led astray
By quaking of tectonic plates
Devil tempting me, where's the rectory?
Been confined in mind penitentiary
Everybody around me lecturing
Don't got a ledge to lean; promethazine
I confess that I leech my energy
When I put an emphasis on destiny
No prediction on this trajectory
But I'm fitting this life for better things
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
Was dead inside
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
Gonna get it right
It's like I'm seeing for the first time
Open my eyes to life unseen
It's like I'm seeing for the first time
Open to life, open to me
To me
