Still Alive

Someone brought Hazy back from the dead
I stayed relaxed in a bed, don't want a pat on the back
I'mma need a smack on the head, I can't abandon the passion
I really been out of practice but now it's back to the bread
Nigga it's go time, I'm even passing through red
Stopped chasing them gold mines, I'mma need that platinum instead
Dreams of platinum plaques hanging on the side of my bed
I'm a singin' nigga but when I get to rapping, they scared
Cuz niggas ain't prepared bruh, this a brand new anthem
Y'all know "Eye of the Tiger", this the Eye of the Panther
Contemplated on giving up, disappoint the fandom
But my shorty ain't having that, she might throw a tantrum
Shit get hard but it's the bed that I laid in
I spit so hard, you might tell me "say it don't spray it"
I'm in full effect, won't give you nothing less than amazing
It's best you don't fuck with HAYES
Cuz they say he angry and dangerous, I said
Nigga where my fade at? I'll make sure y'all know the name
Got my head up out the window, screaming "HAYES BACK!"
And I'm here for payback, the compilation had like eight tracks
That was just a warm up boy let's face facts
I'm taking over, the wait is over, well not quite yet
Been bragging bout a album, haven't had no time to write yet
Been focused on my day job, rap ain't paying bills
But whoever said I was timid with spitting just know that they lied
I'm happy to say that I'm still alive with a appetite for the grind
Yeah I've had some time to unwind
(Now I'm back to business)
Doubting I'll make it just from the rhymes, but I'll never know without trying
If I have no purpose in life
(Ain't no point in living)
I've still some made poor decisions
Falling for gorgeous women that wouldn't even mourn or miss me
Light up and pour the Henny, hit the booth, hit record, get busy
I showed off a little potential but I know that there's more within me
Stop playing with me, I put down the games a long time ago
This that boiled egg and ramen flow for them moments where I've been broke
I've been down bad
Always on a scheme for the commas
My mom said "go finish college, obtain the power of knowledge before you count cash"
I did that, two degrees in, I had two caps
Man these niggas too cap, plotting on my downfall
But wanna come around when they hear I got a new flex
Lamborghini dreams, on the scene with my roof back
When this shit drop, better have this shit on replay
Shorty put that cake in my lap like it's my B-day
She say, "Bae you got some skills for an up and comer"
Watch how I carry the flow like Jim, I go dumb and dumber
Keep it a hunnid hunnid, kicking shit like I'm punting
I'm never looking back but you can see I ain't fronting
Do this for my mama, my mama's mama, my aunts and cousins
I gotta fulfill my destiny, ain't no running from it

25, still alive, could've died, I can't lie
I thank God that I survived
Imma grind till I die, and I won't apologize
If I say what's on my mind
25, still alive, could've died, I can't lie
I thank God that I survived
Imma grind till I die, and I won't apologize
If I say what's on my mind
25, still alive
25, still alive
25, still alive
25, still alive

Album in the works, nigga
2022
