Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Okay, okay

[Chorus]
Dead or alive
I don't know what I'm runnin' from but I'm runnin' baby
Tryna figure out if I'm better off being dead or alive
I don't know what you want from me but I'm tryin' baby
Oh I'm tryin' baby
I can't lie, sometimes I look in the mirror, in my reflection
If you life would be better if I was dead or alive
I'm just tryna make it easy, baby
Sometimes I wonder if you need me, baby
Yeah, dead or alive
I don't know what I'm runnin' from but I'm runnin' baby
Tryna figure out if I'm better off being dead or alive
I don't know what you want from me but I'm tryin' baby
Oh I'm tryin' baby
I can't lie, sometimes I look in the mirror, in my reflection
If you life would be better if I was dead or alive
I'm just tryna make it easy, baby (Ayy, ayy)
Sometimes I wonder if you need me, baby (Ayy)
[Verse 1]
Now you've been here through the highs, through the lows, through the pressure, the anxiety
Weighin' down all on myself, expression but God gave a n***a a gift just to be in your presence
Know I put you through Hell but we gon' make to Heaven, girl you a blessing
Got me like I don't deserve all that
All this pussy they throwin', how I'm supposed to swerve all that?
Baby I love you but I still ain't found me, but I can't lose you
Tell me how supposed to word all that?
I can't do it but who am I to rob you of a choice, a choice that I took you to
I, could never see what you see in me, when I look at you
You supposed to measure love with love
Not with how many I cheated and you stayed with all the shit I put you through
You, throwin' shit at me, oh you think you hard again?
Don't, you know we got neighbors in this fuckin' apartment
I, don't wanna play no more, can't take breakin' your heart again
I'm knowin' I'm the reason we arguin', baby

[Chorus]
Dead or alive
I don't know what I'm runnin' from but I'm runnin' baby
Tryna figure out if I'm better off being dead or alive
I don't know what you want from me but I'm tryin' baby
Oh I'm tryin' baby
I can't lie, sometimes I look in the mirror, in my reflection
If you life would be better if I was dead or alive
I'm just tryna make it easy, baby
Sometimes I wonder if you need me, baby
Yeah, dead or alive
[Verse 2]
Okay, I don't want to be with nobody else, it's me and you
Okay, and I got things I ain't tell nobody, can I tell the truth?
Yeah, yeah
I don't want to be with nobody else, it's me and you, yeah
Okay, and I got things I ain't tell nobody, can I tell the truth?
Ayy
Sometimes we want things to work so much, that we deal with the bullshit that comes attached with a person
Just stay close for a feeling
We livin' broke and we make the most of the thoughts we concealin'
Only to live with decisions we couldn't bring ourselves to make
But we willing to play the fool, then with things being different
I guess it's true that I'm cool with livin' a lie as you somewhere in it
Opening wounds while I'm supposed to be healin'
Nobody move, clear the room, it's blood on the floor from my heart, spillin'
Ayy, ayy
Man fuck these bitches I been here from the jump (N***a)
I was the one scrapin' change up with you when rent hit on the first of the month
Boy I love you for who you is, they love you for who you with
Shit clear as the [?] but you can't see through the front
I guess deep down I always thought you'd be different
Used to be the type of n***a I thought was too good to be true But I get it now, they was right about you, but I ain't listen
Man fuck this shit, man I'm finished
Another happily ever after ended

[Break]
[Chorus]
Dead or alive
I don't know what I'm runnin' from but I'm runnin' baby
Tryna figure out if I'm better off being dead or alive
I don't know what you want from me but I'm tryin' baby
Oh I'm tryin' baby
I can't lie, sometimes I look in the mirror, in my reflection
If you life would be better if I was dead or alive
I'm just tryna make it easy, baby
Sometimes I wonder if you need me, baby
Yeah, dead or alive
I don't know what I'm runnin' from but I'm runnin' baby
