Be Alive

                         Am
It feels so good to be alive
D                       Am
Got all my family by my side
Couldn't wipe this black off if I 
G
tried
                               Am  
That's why I lift my head with 
  B
pride

        Am
I got a million miles on me
                           Am
They want to see how far I go
                              G
The path was never paved with gold 
(Gold)
                                Am
We worked and built this on our own 
(Own)

                 Am
And can't nobody knock it if they 
tried
                      D
This is hustle personified
Am
Look how we've been fighting to stay
 alive
                             G
So when we win, we will have pride
                             Am
Do you know how much we have cried?
                   Am
How hard we had to fight?
