Capo on 1st I am happy to be alive Cause I know I could not be in a place that's filled with lies Can't stand no quiet nights, why I fill up my glass with pride Hopeful is all I know how to keep me from silent cries Nothing I can say Facing all this pain in my way I fight it every day Why am I this way? A nigga tryna maintain I sit and tell my self, "okay" We gotta find another way You gotta find another way You gotta find another way Don't be so down, c'mon young homie You'll be okay, you'll find real love All of the stories, the hero gets lonely Now is the time to show what you're made of
