Dead or Alive Lyrics
Oh my
Woah, woah, woah
Uh, uh, uh
Woah, woah, woah
Oh, oh, oh
Woah, woah, woah
Oh, oh, oh
Woah, woah, woah
Oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Took my time to get this shine, but I still skipped the line (On God)
I realized the ho still on my mind, I guess the bitch divine (Hello)
And yeah, I could do this shit myself, that's dead or alive (Alive)
And yeah, you could care 'bout just yourself, if you pickin' sides (Pickin' sides)
Niggas thinkin' that they gang, they not even squad (Squad, squad)
Yeah, I told 'em, "If you gettin' played, then you played a part"
Really I know I can't change my ways, you know who we are (Who we are)
Talkin' crazy, now he in the sky, told him, "Pick a star" (Skrrt, skrrt, skrrt, skrrt)
[Verse]
I made this shit look еasy, juice
But it ain't easy, beliеve me, truth
You know I'm droppin' 'em off, Bruce
Give you a clue what I'm countin', blues
Smokin' that leaf if it get loose
My niggas drillin', we might as well truce (Uh, uh, uh, uh)
I hit the blunt just for a lil' boost
Yeah, my new bitch, she Canadian Goose (Oh, oh)
I know you lose 'em, how you get 'em? I won't take your bitch (Bitch)
Yeah, I told 'em I make money, money don't make this shit (Yeah)
Change my life off being me, so why would I fake this shit? (Yeah)
They try to take my flow, don't fuck with no plagiarists (At all)
We could solve it, if that shit a problem (Nah, for real)
Nigga, I was gettin' guala, I said fuck a prom, uh (For real)
I was rockin' BAPEs, when I seen y'all niggas rockin' Toms (For real)
When you feel like this, no, you wouldn't even change your flaws
[Chorus]
Took my time to get this shine, but I still skipped the line (On God)
I realized the ho still on my mind, I guess the bitch divine (Hello)
And yeah, I could do this shit myself, that's dead or alive (Alive)
And yeah, you could care 'bout just yourself, if you pickin' sides (Pickin' sides)
Niggas thinkin' that they gang, they not even squad (Squad, squad)
Yeah, I told 'em, "If you gettin' played, then you played a part"
Really I know I can't change my ways, you know who we are (Who we are)
Talkin' crazy, now he in the sky, told him, "Pick a star" (Skrrt, skrrt, skrrt, skrrt)

[“Dead or Alive”] is very just in your face, like, the way I always just see peoples opinions and anyone besides us, you know? Because we’re all in our induvidial worlds. So I’m like, anything that anyone can say to me, in a hundred years, they gonna be gone the same way I’m gonna be gone. So regardless if I’m dead or alive, I'ma do this the way I wanna do it. It’s a statement of mortality, for real.
Like that’s all that it comes down to, no matter how much money you make, no matter how accomplished you do, like, it’s gonna come to an end. So you don’t wanna sit at the end and be like, “Man, I wish I did it this way, I wish I didn’t think about what people were talking about, I wish that, I wish this.”
