Lyrics
### **"Dead Alive"**
*"Hah, yeah… Dead… Alive… Dead… Alive… No breaks, no mercy… Let’s go!"*
**[Verse 1]**
Dead, alive, dead alive—clock keeps tickin’, no rewind.
Grind too hard, now spine’s in line with the deadlines I can’t defy.
Every breath? A time bomb—heartbeat’s a metronome.
Work me till my soul dissolves, no rest ‘til I’m etched in stone.
*"Hah! No pause—keep runnin’!"*
Tired eyes, wired mind, cycle vicious, tight as twine.
Chase that bag, lose that time—cash can’t buy back my life.
No cheat code, no reset, just regret when you reflect.
Write my name in blood and sweat, ink it deep with no regrets.
**[Hook]**
Dead, alive, dead alive, work don’t stop ‘til the end arrives.
Run that race ‘til the wheels fall off, no pit stops, just overtime.
Dead, alive, dead alive, body move but the soul deprived.
Pray for peace but the bills don’t sleep, so I stay locked in this fight.
*"Tick, tick, boom—clock don’t wait!"*
**[Verse 2]**
Fast lane livin’, no U-turn, ghost ride whippin’ to my urn.
Life’s a scam, pay-to-earn, but the cost? A lesson learned.
Wrote my pain in the margins, lost in bars, no pardons.
Mask my scars with armor, but time got hands like boxers.
*"Ding ding! Fight back!"*
Every check got chains attached, debt just dance like marionettes.
Life’s a beast, fangs intact, chew you up, spit out what’s left.
Metaphors? Like coffins stacked, deep in thought, no cardiac.
This track ain’t just rap—it’s a **war cry** for the ones collapsed.
**[Hook]**
Dead, alive, dead alive, burn that wick ‘til the fire dies.
Cogs keep turnin’, work keeps hurtin’, grind don’t love—just eats you dry.
Dead, alive, dead alive, broke that clock but I’m still on time.
One last verse ‘til I’m out this hearse—when I die, **make sure I rhyme.**
*"Hah… No breaks… Keep runnin’… Tick, tick… dead."*
*"Hah, yeah… Dead… Alive… Dead… Alive… No breaks, no mercy… Let’s go!"*
**[Verse 1]**
Dead, alive, dead alive—clock keeps tickin’, no rewind.
Grind too hard, now spine’s in line with the deadlines I can’t defy.
Every breath? A time bomb—heartbeat’s a metronome.
Work me till my soul dissolves, no rest ‘til I’m etched in stone.
*"Hah! No pause—keep runnin’!"*
Tired eyes, wired mind, cycle vicious, tight as twine.
Chase that bag, lose that time—cash can’t buy back my life.
No cheat code, no reset, just regret when you reflect.
Write my name in blood and sweat, ink it deep with no regrets.
**[Hook]**
Dead, alive, dead alive, work don’t stop ‘til the end arrives.
