Maino - Glad To Be Alive Lyrics






Feeling like a king, rolling on that new Porsche
Hand on the steering wheel, drowning in my own thoughts
Photos in my mind, pictures of my dead friends
Thinking bout the time when we was just some kids
Then caught up in the life, we was far from innocent
Many different nights, and life could have been the end
Take a deep breath and inhale all the fresh air
Think about life it's a blessing just to be here
Phone calls for my dogs that's behind bars
Trying to keep hope, 20 years to the parole board
God damn, repercussions of the game
You go from a bench to a number and a name
A big homie wrote me a [?]
5 years of balling they worth to a life
So never give up only losers don't try
Don't look back thank God that you're alive

My hat real low, money on my mind
Dance till 7 got a model in my ride
I got homies in the pen, homies in the sky
Think about the drama in my life that I survived
I'm just glad to be alive, glad to be alive
Pop another bottle, we gonna celebrate tonight
I'm just glad to be alive, glad to be alive
Fuck what you saying I'm just glad to be alive

Glad to be breathing, enjoying my freedom
Hugging my son, me telling him I need him
Looking in his eyes while I try to blend his future
Praying that he never does the things that I used to
He won't be no dope boy, not a gun clapper
He won't go to jail he'll be better than a rapper
Many tears lost on my home boys caskets
Fatherless sons in this world young bastards
Holding on my champagne bottle as I think back, hustling
In and out of town man I did that
Picture me sitting in the cell through the night
On the floor quiet sharpening my knife
Product of a violent neighborhood and a ghetto
Got above the street but it seems I can't let go
Many different times that I could have been gone
But I got a chance, to really live on

My hat real low, money on my mind
Dance till 7 got a model in my ride
I got homies in the pen, homies in the sky
Think about the drama in my life that I survived
I'm just glad to be alive, glad to be alive
Pop another bottle, we gonna celebrate tonight
I'm just glad to be alive, glad to be alive
Fuck what you saying I'm just glad to be alive

Yeah, I survived drugs, I survived beats
I survived shoot outs in the middle of the street
I watched thug niggas go to jail and turn sweet
I watched friends die told my son that they was sleep
Feels like we in up in the grave or in the feds
Praying 80 gets the feeling back in his legs
Could have been laid on the ground but now it's dead
But it wasn't in the plan, it was meant for me to live

My hat real low, money on my mind
Dance till 7 got a model in my ride
I got homies in the pen, homies in the sky
Think about the drama in my life that I survived
I'm just glad to be alive, glad to be alive
Pop another bottle, we gonna celebrate tonight
I'm just glad to be alive, glad to be alive
Fuck what you saying I'm just glad to be alive.

  3. W.... G....

    Still lit 2020

  4. C.... T....

    1:37 This is my favorite part in the video.

  5. C.... T....

    The way he kissed his son is beautiful.
    I will never in my life deal with a man who don't love up on his kids. I don't play that dusty, trifling, mess. Even men who are in jail doing life still love up on their children. They be sending them nice pictures, letters, and all.

  6. L.... J....

    Classic

  7. A.... Y....

    One of the realist songs ever heard in my entire life 💯

  8. A.... N....

    hearin maino 1st time though i became a fan...dwag dwaammmnnn

  9. M.... 6....

    It doesn’t get more real 🙏🙏

  10. R.... R....

    "I survived drugs, I survived beef, I survived shoot outs in the middle of the street" realest shit I heard- RT, You can only go to the top after all that- FACTS

    R.... R....

    I hope I do too.

  11. D.... D....

    My grief is so heavy and this song makes me feel so lifted.

    D.... D....

    Praying for you. God bless you

  12. F.... J....

  13. D.... N....

    Good thing he is underrated, at least he is still making real music.

  17. J.... M....

    He definately underrated but now a days people listen 2 wayne who sounds like a frog who od on sizzerb n drake no one listens 2 real rap any more unless u know bout that life

  18. B.... S....

    Main = realist

  19. t.... c....

    💯 💯 💯 💯 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 👍 👍 👍 👍

  20. k.... s....

    Definitely and sadly underrated. But its for the best of them, theyre not POPular like others are and yet, we, I see him as the best along with Immortal Technique who is one of the wisest fellas in the industry. Fuck Hollywood and all the rap "actors" bought and paid for by the riches. Just hear his part about his son and compare that to gangbangin' westcoaters who brag about nothing but the crime for youth and all. And right now of this very moment I miss 2pac's music. How different the world would be if he was still alive. <3 Sensible Rap.

  21. G.... B....

    Mainoo!!

  22. J.... L....

    Maino the closest version to Pac we got.. Ain't no real left in rap no more

    W.... B....

  29. A.... Y....

    True and heartfelt is the best way describe this song. Real recognize real! Homies in the Pen homies in the sky. Grateful to God to have been able to survive

  30. z.... ....

    Found while trying to find songs that would be wildly inappropriate at a funeral.

    M.... E....

    @mannypr29able right! I got into his music back in the limewire days so I was bumpin him for a minute before I saw what he looked like but when I did I was shocked.

    B.... M....

    He got into wit some nigga up north and got shot while in the barber shop. He ain't no rat or poser his name good up north and in the town heard about from older heads both while I was up north and home just to clarify

  51. H.... K....

    Maino is one of the best at making feel music, I got knowledge of self, don't really listen to too much of the rappers today, but Maino make joints that give you that extra push when you fee burnt out

  52. T.... L....

    You should smoke weed

  53. T.... ....

  54. D.... ....

    That yute prob had a bunch of BK nigga's shown up at his house with a shotty to his head..
