Yelawolf - Keeps Me Alive Lyrics

Oh hell yeah. This is gold.

Favorite track on this album. Shit flows endlessly

Wynonna Judd's chorus gives me chills, and I'm a rap fan not a country fan, nice

i made the mistake of falling for her. not just falling for someone. i fell al the way down for Her. she was it. everyone gets quiet everytime she would walk into the room. everyone looks at her. she was mine. i was t right to her because i’m stuck in my thoughts and over thinking every god damn thing. shit got toxic. she was doing things i made her do emotionally not physically. i will never lay a finger in her. but emotionally i messed her up. i now see. it sucks because NOW i see it. not THEN. i ducked up bad. her mother sent her away. because she wasn’t right anymore. i don’t whether to move on or stay waiting for whenever she comes back. if she vet comes back.

🔥❤️🔥

"It was everything, because I had nothin'
And man that was alright, 'cause now I had somethin'
Little did I know that would be the hardest thing to do God ever put before me
So I took a look at what I've been through

And I made it my glory, and this is..."
My God awesome.

So powerful. I love this...how he created his legacy.

Straight From The Heart

Damn that's real

Wynonna Judd? Did she actually do this or voice put in somehow? Song is nice.

I've just discovered Yelawolf over the past couple of months and I got to say I'm not a rap or hip hop fan generally speaking and I understand this ain't straight up rap or Hip Hop but it's probably as close as I'll get to it. This is great song writing and I really like the intensity in the delivery of the lyrics and I like hearing musical instrumentation throughout. Lack of real instruments is the main reason why I typically don't like hip hop music. My ears are always open and I would be into discovering any other hip hop oriented groups that use real instrumentation. Great record ! Yelawolf Trial by Fire!

You're hands down one of the most amazing artists I've ever heard...taking something and originating your own sound from it thats a hell of a gift...i'd love to be able to hear something before someone already created it but i don't even comprehend how that could even start...but you have been doing it for like 12 or more years now?! Struggles make for great music but damn my heart wants yo break for all you've lost in so many aspects...one love 😘

Fantastic job!

I swear I get an Irish vibe from the instruments used in this

Hi, Im lonely can i talk to any of you pls.

Outstanding work.

Lol nice try

What a testimony...wish I could see him perform at a revival like unity fest in Muskegon mi people need to hear his message more

This is a Song to be played at my funeral Love IT such heavenly melody sadly alcohol killed my liver I think it's too late for me but I want my kids to hear this when they are sad and think about me song might as well be about me yelawolf my brother from another one love

This sounds more like country the "actual country"

This beautiful track gives me chill <3

Egzon P. Hi! If you want to watch a lyric video of this great song, you can find it on my channel :-)

Tuck ill pump, Lil Yachty, Kodak Black, Uzi Vert, and all those other losers

cocaine and alcohol.

Thank u james Macnabb

Just reminds me of me :(

beautiful,love yelawolf so much,so glad i found him when i did

I'm not saying this is aweful because it's really not. But I don't think it's for me. I don't hate giving it a chance though.

John Overman as long as you're always willing to keep your mind open to trying new artists and sounds, nothing but respect and love. Keep being awesome man!

Reminds me of south side / Gadsden days miss that town

Actual music to listen to in 2018?! It can't be true..

the chorus with Wynonna Judd really makes this song

this should have way more views. yelawolf speaks the truth.

Wynonna brought me here thanks

34 people suck a lot of dick

Row your boat

Keeps me alive

Ride or die! best three songs on the album!!!!

Can somebody please make an instrumental for this song and upload it onto this bitch?

fuck yes do you no Aaron elder

Well this album was garbage and not worth the wait. Thank fuck for love story.

man, it's what it is we are are brothers tho ,regards from far away "Libya that is "

This album is ok but those singles he put out like Row your boat and Daylight were way better. Just my opinion. He is still dope asf

My man yessssssssss

Love the story and the feel thank you for great music

I adore him so much on this song!! I grew up listening to the Judd’s

And I’m from Greenville Ohio where Annie Oakley was born and raised and died here with her husband. Much love

Yela you did it again my dude keep that shit up! Fan for life!!

😍😍😍

Every song this dude makes is fucking amazing.. The flow, just always on point. Every good artist always has that one album that you can listen to 24/7 because every song is perfect. I thought that would be "Love Story".. But every song on this album is good as well. Yela and Hopsin are probably the only rappers today that actually make good shit.

Sorry I missed you in spokane and sorry for loss partner. this song hit me with a front porch swing back flash

If you are from Alabama you can feel this

Or if you've ever lived in Alabama specifically Gadsden. Both West Coast & N.E. Bama. Much love Yelawolf✌

Yelawolf rock - Eminem´s new album - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSzmS0MfhKQ Which one is better ????

Tight 👍👍

What's with this country bullshit? Whack as fuck. Yela gone forever.

Everett Elderberry who the fuck are you to talk shit?? Lmao.

Good song but lost my ears at 4:24

Wow.❤️💯🎤

Children belly's.

Unity uniform unify's or of brings us as one.together.understan please.

Good song

Trial By Fire album of the year!!

Jesus Christ.. just got outta jail.. the song... the tears ... the struggle

Slumming til I die

i love u yela ur my hero

Shit I climb cell towers and work on the road. Last verse kills it, preciate you helping explain it Yela

this shit hard!

#yelawolf #legend

Mad respect! Thank you for telling your story. It's poetic

Lovin the new album. It comes out tomorrow in Australia cant wait to pick it up.

Dope! This album is 🔥

Damn this is good. Loving country rap a lot these days!

It's like it's rap with soul

@Playboy Killuminati conscious hiphop

Wyonna Judd is the shit ..great song yela ☠☠

Wynonna was a good choice for this, but I think Reba would’ve done a great job too!!

yeah but ya know Reba didn't sing Love is alive though.

This Will never hit the radio, or get an MTV award shit probably won't get a video from it..and yet it's the kinda song that grabs you deep in your guts, makes you think, even when you don't wanna think..its putting all the bullshit aside and feeling human..Its what makes you see Michael Atha, not Yela,..

Perfectly said

Damn I'm from Coats Bend, Gadsden Alabama I feel this shit!

[Verse 1: Yelawolf]
Way back in Alabama where the dirt roads cut through the woods
And when it rains you can smell the steam off the grass
Even dew on the hood of my paw paw's 1985 Chevrolet Silverado
I must have been about six
Life was so easy back in the sticks
16 year old mother fought for the life she wanted for her son
Lookin' for love in the world of rock and roll is where it begun
It was Alabama, Ted Nugent
Alice Cooper, Randy Travis
Aerosmith kept my stepdaddy on the road
And life, it was madness
Cocaine and alcohol filled up the house party to be frank
It wasn't too long before I tried it myself and then started to drink
School became boring and doing my homework became rollin' joints
Now I'm sixteen like my mama was when she had a little boy
Can't imagine it now as I look back 'cause I got three kids of my own
And I respect what she went through to pay for food and clothes
And her home
'Cause it ain't what she did, it's what she didn't do for me
That brought me to this moment
And made me who I am on this recording
And this is my story

[Chorus: Wynonna Judd]
This is my story
This is my glory
This is what keeps me alive
This is me flying
This is me trying
This is what keeps me alive

[Verse 2: Yelawolf]
20 years old in the streets and I'm rollin' with gangsters now
Hip-hop is takin' over me, my language, my clothes, my lifestyle
Antioch, Tennessee put me through the school of hard knocks
And I carry that attitude with me to this day, more or not
And I'm young and hot-headed
Always running from police and skateboardin'
Graffiti, loiterin', I sorta got my peace from the chaos
Was no "mother-may-I's," surrounded by have-nots
And maybe some day I's well
I was against the grain, even when I was growin' wheat
Got back into rock and roll, and then got into poetry
Started expressin' everything I could through the medium of pen and pad
Playin' instrumentals off a tape and then over-dubbin' what I had
It was everything, because I had nothin'
And man that was alright, 'cause now I had somethin'
Little did I know that would be the hardest thing to do God ever put before me
So I took a look at what I've been through
And I made it my glory, and this is...

[Chorus: Wynonna Judd]
This is my story
This is my glory
This is what keeps me alive
This is me flying
This is me trying
This is what keeps me alive

[Verse 3: Yelawolf]
It's a 2 AM bus 'craw; from me at the parkin' lot of Wal-Mart
Leavin' Nashville, Tennessee for a nationwide tour
My bags are all packed and I'm loadin' my truck to go meet the crew
And I'm excited to get on the road, already one foot out the door
Turn around and it's my daughter, she's cryin'
'Cause daddy is leavin'
Knows that I'll be gone for months and it hurts and I hate to see it
Kneel down and tell her, "Look, baby, I promise I'll call you everyday
And daddy will sing you prayers from everywhere that we go play"
But that's not enough, and it's breakin' my heart in two
Just knowin' I can't stay, not even to see it through
And that I can't tuck her in, to say goodbye with a grin
Now she's bein' left behind, this is me all over again, man
I picked her up in my arms and held her tight
And said, "Hey you know what? Daddy used to be just like you
When I would walk up to the bus
And I'd do anything in the world for you, so chase your dreams
One day you'll use everything you've been through to be anything, baby girl
This is my story

[Chorus: Wynonna Judd]
This is my story
This is my glory
This is what keeps me alive
This is me flying
This is me trying
This is what keeps me alive

Sooooo good 🙌🏻🙌🏻

Antioch, Tennessee

perfect end to a perfect album.

👊😎💨

One of the 3 best songs on the album ... My opinion, if not, the best

Dragon Ball z this and True To Yourself hit the soul
