Favela Boy on the beat
Who would have thought we would meet
A duo about to eat
And sharing a dream
For such a time as this I am alive
Surprise
Not I
A mutual agreement of seizing the night
The prize is mine
Not a pie in the sky
A buzz of excitement just like the hive
I be buzzing
No fussing I'm in my stride
As sweet as the hum of a lullaby
Don't you patronize me
(Me, me, me)
In the pocket where I'm supposed to be
Just chugging along
Picking up puzzle pieces
Vision getting clearer by the day
And all it took was to pray
And I prayed and I prayed
I'm still praying though
Vision getting clearer by the day
Facing the struggles, overcoming the worst
That's my six word mantra made in 11th grade
Thank you Ms. Johnson it stuck with me
Really meant a lot me
(How much?)
A lot
Been a minute since then
Really been a minute since then
I was watching Ben 10
Now the pen is my jam
(Strawberry)
My jam
My my jam
(Strawberry)
For such a time as this I am alive
Surprise
Not I
A mutual agreement of seizing the night
The prize is mine
Not a pie in the sky
A buzz of excitement just like the hive
I be buzzing
No fussing I'm in my stride
As sweet as the hum of a lullaby
Don't you patronize me
(Me, me, me)
They keep tell me to
Chill
But I wanna argue
(Ra ra ra)
I make a little noise and
(Shh)
We gonna have an issue
Jeez
(Ha)
Na na na na na na na nah
Talking really crazy with that blah blah blah blah
Crazier than Oscars with that la la la la
I could win a Grammy for this
Maybe not
But I know I'm hot
Like butter melting on a cook stove
Stay hot
Trust God
The rock
He gonna lead you to the hilltop
(Squad)
For such a time as this I am alive
Surprise
Not I
(Not I, not I, not I)
For such a time as this I am alive
(Alive, alive, alive, alive, alive, alive, alive)
Now the pen is my jam
(Strawberry)
My jam
My my jam
(Strawberry)
Now now now the pen is my jam
(Strawberry)
My jam
My my jam
(Strawberry)
Cuz I am alive
