It feels so good to be alive
Got all my family by my side
Couldn't wipe this black off if I tried
That's why I lift my head with pride
I got a million miles on me
They want to see how far I'll go
The path was never paved with gold
We worked and built this on our own
And, and can't nobody knock it if they tried
This is hustle personified
Look how we've been fighting to stay alive
So when we win we will have pride
Do you know how much we have cried
How hard we had to fight
It feels so good to be alive
It feels so, so, so good
Got all my sisters by my side
I got all my sisters by my side
Couldn't wipe this black off if I tried
Black off if I tried
That's why I lift my head with pride
Now we're sitting on top of the world again
I got a million miles on me
They want to see how far I'll go
They want to see how far I'll go
The path was never paved with gold
We fought and built this on our own
We fought and built this on our own, own
And, and can't nobody knock it if they tried
This is hustle personified
Look how we've been fighting to stay alive
So when we win we will have pride
Do you know how much we have cried
How hard we had to fight
It feels so good to be alive
It feels so good, so good
Got all my family by my side
And we gon' sit on top of the world again
Couldn't wipe this black off if I tried
And I wouldn't trade nothing
And I wouldn't trade nothing
That's why I lift my head with pride
So baby, lift your head, yeah
It feels so good to be alive
Darling, it's a celebration for you, yeah
I got the tribe all by my side
You're doing everything they said you couldn't do
Couldn't wipe this black off if I tried
That's why I lift my head with pride
Lift your head, yeah
Ooh, I tried
