STAYING ALIVE Lyrics

[Chorus]
Try me a hundred times
Wanted me to lie, wanted me to cry
Wanted me to die
Ah, ah, ah, I'm staying alive, I'm staying alive
I'm staying alive, I'm staying alive
Another one, yeah
Try me a hundred times
Wanted me to lie, wanted me to cry
Wanted me to die
Ah, ah, ah, I'm staying alive, I'm staying alive
I'm staying alive, I'm staying alive

[Verse 1]
How she in love and she been over once?
It's not like I known her for months
This life, it allowed me to take what I want
It's not like I know what I want
It's not like I know what I need
I get some time, but there's no guarantees
When I was broke, she was bein' a tease
Four pockets full, now she down on her knees
Woah, woah, woah-woah
Baby gon' hit it, then send her to me, yeah
Or I'ma hit it and send her to Baby
That's how I get when this life get too crazy
Woah, woah, for real, for real, woah
They tryna seal the deal
See me up under a sheet, parade in the streets, yeah
[Chorus]
Try me a hundred times
Wanted me to lie, wanted me to cry
Wanted me to die
Ah, ah, ah, I'm staying alive, I'm staying alive
I'm staying alive, I'm staying alive
Another one, yeah
Try me a hundred times
Wanted me to lie, wanted me to cry
Wanted me to die
Ah, ah, ah, I'm staying alive, I'm staying alive
I'm staying alive, I'm staying alive

[Verse 2]
I put my feelings aside
You want me to die, but, baby, I'm staying alive
'Posed to be one of a kind, you putting on miles
I thought you was down for the ride
I'm tryna turn up her style
We go in Chanel, she get everything in her size
She in some shit with another guy
I don't even care, whenever I see you, you mine
Drizzy hit her, then he send her to me
I don't talk, definition of P
Hood nigga turned superstar, but I fuck her good like I'm still in the streets
No response, you can see that I read it
I'm with all that whenever you ready
Sure, be happy if I fell off, but I'm still there
They gone have to accept it
[Chorus]
Try me a hundred times
Wanted me to lie, wanted me to cry
Wanted me to die
Ah, ah, ah, I'm staying alive, I'm staying alive
I'm staying alive, I'm staying alive
Another one, yeah
Try me a hundred times
Wanted me to lie, wanted me to cry
Wanted me to die
Ah, ah, ah, I'm staying alive, I'm staying alive
I'm staying alive, I'm staying alive

[Outro]
Bright Campa
Tried me a hundred times
