[Intro]
They want me gone
They want me quiet
But I don’t fold
I start a riot (yeah)
[Verse 1]
They praying on my downfall
I’m praying for a clear shot
They gossip in the group chat
I’m loading what they fear, plot
They hate the way I stand up
Chest out, I don’t bend, boy
They’d rather see me face down
Chalk line than this big joy
I came up out the deep end
Mud on my white sneaks
Turned every single dark day
Into something they can’t reach
You see the scars? That’s training
You see the eyes? That’s war
They want me dead ‘cause I’m living
Like they already lost the score (yeah)
[Chorus]
They want me dead ‘cause the alfa in me
Too strong, I don’t break, I don’t bleed
Put weight on my back, I still breathe
Through trials, tribulations, I lead
They want me dead ‘cause the alfa in me
Too loud every time that I speak
They pray I go under, go sleep
I rise from the ashes, I eat (ayy)
[Verse 2]
I heard they put a price tag
On everything I stand for
Can’t buy what I been through
Can’t sell what I’d die for
Whispers in the hallway
“Why he still here, why he don’t quit?”
‘Cause pressure made a diamond
You just made excuses and dipped
They’d rather see me in a casket
Than see me crash through the limit
They want my heart in a basket
‘Cause they can’t handle what’s in it
I took that hate, kept stacking
Turned every cut to a creed
If they pull up, I’m laughing
I already bled for this dream (yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
They want me dead ‘cause the alfa in me
Too strong, I don’t break, I don’t bleed
Put weight on my back, I still breathe
Through trials, tribulations, I lead
They want me dead ‘cause the alfa in me
Too loud every time that I speak
They pray I go under, go sleep
I rise from the ashes, I eat (I eat)
[Bridge]
You want me gone?
Come take my place
Walk through the fire
Right to my face
Feel every loss
Carry that rage
If you survive it
Then we the same (never)
[Chorus]
They want me dead ‘cause the alfa in me
Too strong, I don’t break, I don’t bleed
Put weight on my back, I still breathe
Through trials, tribulations, I lead
They want me dead ‘cause the alfa in me
Too loud every time that I speak
They pray I go under, go sleep
I rise from the ashes, I eat (yeah, yeah)
