[Verse 1: Speech]
I performing for a crowd who be dating me as they jam
And rate me for who I was and not rate me for who I am
The last hits that we had was like 20 years in the past
And [?] they thinking that was our best and our success was just a fad
3 hits 'bout all we had
Despite it, we don't get mad and instead we just change the stats
Every show, every CD making the dollars think again
Hurricane when we came in, living like sink or swim
We swimming since the beginning, the coverage is all on them
But we kept stroking our own way, not lovers of every trend
So we, live stronger; healthier, live longer
Went against the grain just like people that's low carbon
So we doing it, live and direct, you feel how true we is
Eye-witnesses to the beauty of life music, it's
Arrested Development, powerful we influencing
Music and revolution until we see more solutions
Hey, everybody shake your head, shake out the Devil now
Lazarus raising the dead, come out the tombs, child
We're alive now
We're alive now
We're alive now
Living
[Hook: Tasha Larae]
Every day I rise on a mission
Please forgive me if I mess up
I'm improving, living living
Honey, baby, I'm just human
If the sun shines down on me today
I would try to live in a better way
Please forgive me when I'm [?]
That's a part of living
I performing for a crowd who be dating me as they jam
And rate me for who I was and not rate me for who I am
The last hits that we had was like 20 years in the past
And [?] they thinking that was our best and our success was just a fad
3 hits 'bout all we had
Despite it, we don't get mad and instead we just change the stats
Every show, every CD making the dollars think again
Hurricane when we came in, living like sink or swim
We swimming since the beginning, the coverage is all on them
But we kept stroking our own way, not lovers of every trend
So we, live stronger; healthier, live longer
Went against the grain just like people that's low carbon
So we doing it, live and direct, you feel how true we is
Eye-witnesses to the beauty of life music, it's
Arrested Development, powerful we influencing

Hey, everybody shake your head, shake out the Devil now
Lazarus raising the dead, come out the tombs, child
We're alive now
We're alive now
