Album: Heroes For Sale

Verse 1:
They say we all different, what's that common ground?
One day everybody gonna lay in that ground.
If death is certain, then how you live it?
And if heaven's real, tell me how you get it?
I'mma bet it on my life, it ain't gonna be by works
So I bet it all on Christ, boy lemme give you this work.
Way before the moment I croak I already been in that hearse
I'm already dead, I'm living in reverse,
The first shall be last and the last shall be first.
Following Jesus don't mean that there won't be pain,
But, um, it does promise that none of it is in vain.
And, um, I'm not afraid of that persecution that came
I'm more afraid of the fame and people knowing my name.

Hook:
Take me alive, take me alive,
Take me alive while I'm still here.
Take me alive, take me alive,
Take me alive, take me while I'm still here.

Take me alive, take me alive,
Take me alive, take me while I'm still here.
Take me alive, take me alive,
Take me alive, take me while I'm still here.

Verse 2:
Been riding low key, ya'll know me,
Soli Deo glory be,
To the Father I can't lie though sometimes I want it all for me.
Gotta kill that, gotta kill it,
Don't conceal that for a villain,
But I care what you think about me
The Father know it all and I'm still forgiven.
I must decrease cause the way up is down
And His kingdom is out there, as crazy as that can sound.
That's why blood is rushing through my hand,
Dying's how I live.
If you love your life, you lose it,
If you lose it, then your game it end.
Wisdom is justified by all the children.
God's worthy of my worship, so I'm defying my feelings.
In my mess there's a message,
In my chest, testimony.
He said no, I get to know him when I'm on that rock, you jabroni.
I cannot be more stacky do, love me some shows, shoulda got me two
But I'm thinking about the boxes inside my room
And I think about the kids that don't got no phone.
Uh, that one hurt, the truth is a mother,
The father realized when they come up,
Heavy one on one, the dark and the bell with the sinner,
Every day we're dying.

Hook:
Take me alive, take me alive,
Take me alive while I'm still here.
Take me alive, take me alive,
Take me alive, take me while I'm still here.

Take me alive, take me alive,
Take me alive, take me while I'm still here.
Take me alive, take me alive,
Take me alive, take me while I'm still here.
