Buried Alive

Chance The Rapper

    Continues after the ad

    I was in a dark space, between a rock and a hard place
    Knew I was alive when my heart raced
    Buried alive, but very alive
    They'd be very surprised to find out Harry survived
    The boy who lived got tied up for marryin'
    Tryna ride off into the sunset with nary goodbye
    Shot him off his high horse, ate his American pie
    Called out his arrogant lies, tossed him in a hole
    The middle of nowhere you never could find
    Where's his money now? Where his wife at?
    Where his manager? Where his hype at?
    Then they threw the dirt on the casket
    And into the hunt for the baby and the basket
    Nobody Moses, alone with the mallet
    That's when the pen turned the stone to a tablet
    Jailbreak stylus, I chiseled like Shawshank
    I fought for my life, Ray Gibson, Claude Banks
    My ideas turn a cage into shark tank
    Tears over war paint, gotta give the Lord: Thanks
    Walkin' through the desert, same mighty sword
    Not yet tired, but I might be sore

    I was in a dark space
    My mind was playin' tricks like Scarface
    My pen strong like an one-inch punch
    I eat all they cornbread, they don't want they lunch
    I was in a dark place, it was me and my pen
    None of my friends, none of my kin
    None of my weapons, one of my limbs
    One of my arms, I made a beat with my elbow first
    Then my fist started knockin' like the bell don't work
    In my palm was the pen from that one fable
    The old legendary story of the lunch table
    Then I kicked a technique that was so fatal
    It went fall down Babylon, Jericho Dagon
    Melt every wall in the dungeon dragon
    We was in a dark place, now the lights back on
    I just needed, I just needed somethin' I could rap on
    Right then and there the roof caved, quick rubble stone
    The kid kicked another hole, the dirt filled another hole
    The pen in the hand of a hero arose
    Clenched fist clawin' its way out, the highs and the lows
