Stay Alive

[Chorus - Mic Righteous]
Drowning again
Down in the depths
Of the doubt in my head, hey
I'm drowning again
Until we make it out the endz
I'm fucking out here, ay
Tryna stay alive
Yeah I, stay alive
Ooooh ay
Stay alive
Yeah I, stay alive
Ooooh ay
Stay alive
Yeah I, stay alive
Ooooh ay
Stay alive
Yeah I, stay alive
Ooooh ay

[Verse 1 - Mic Righteous]
Drowning again, down and depressed
Guess I'm out of my depth
Now I'm doubting my strength
The more that you ignore the doubt
The louder it gets ayyy
Don't you dare take that crown off your head
Nah, how when I'm a scrounger, a beg
Council housing
Until we make it out of the endz
I'll be out here again
I'll be out here again, yeah
Tryna stay alive
Tryna stay alive
Everything went South here no
Opportunities 'round here so
Usually we drown here yo
Only a few get outta here though
Wait for change
You gotta make a change
You gotta bump the train
You gotta take a risk
You gotta break a chain
You have to open doors
You can't just make a wish
You can't just pray for this
You can't just make a hit
You have to take a step
That's what making it is
Get out what you put in
I'll be taking it in
I ain't gonna leave until I'm raking it in (look)
I was down and depressed
Out of my depths, drowning
I could have bowed down to the doubt in my head
Lost the power, now I found it again
'Till I make it out the endz, I'll be out here

[Chorus]
Drowning again
Down in the depths
Of the doubt in my head, hey
I'm drowning again
Until we make it out the endz
I'm fucking out here again, ay
Tryna stay alive
Yeah I'm, tryna stay alive
Ooooh ay
Stay alive
Yeah I'm, tryna stay alive
Ooooh ay

[Verse 2 - Menace]
Right now I ain't meant to die, just
Another day another existential crisis
Come step inside this mind
And see life from my angle
Though I try to be thankful
Every where I look, I see guys getting trampled
Bombs getting dropped, it's not gonna stop
How can I care who's top of the pops
I don't wanna be lost
Everybody's fighting a battle
But it's deeper than just mine
You gotta see through the rough times
'Cus soon you'll be doing just fine
Had days I prayed I wouldn't wake
Say it straight
I ain't busy tryna seem like a tough guy
I was lost out my head
Hopped on a jet
Then I went globetrotting instead
Saw poverty, then I saw happiness
Now whatever's next, I don't wanna be dead
Me and Blaze on a mission

[Verse 3 - Blaze]
Yeah, there been days that I prayed it was different
I ain't living in a mix no more
Cu' these pricks go tour
So it pays to be distant
I could never just go with the flow
When I saw that the globe's full of hate and resistance
We ain't strapped in the chains
But it's facts that
Man are all full blown slaves to addiction
I've been down to the dumps like Stig was
Drowns in my gut, loud in my blood
Then I vow to erupt like TikTok
We gotta make mum proud of her sons
I was rised 'till I'm permanently pissed off
Now I got drive like a person all pissed off
And there ain't no shame to be had
When it's deep and the wave's gonna crash
And you feel like

[Chorus]
Drowning again
Down in the depths
Of the doubt in my head, hey
I'm drowning again
Until we make it out the endz
I'm fucking out here again, ay
Tryna stay alive
Yeah I'm, tryna stay alive
Ooooh ay
Stay alive
Yeah I'm, tryna stay alive
Ooooh ay
