[Verse 1]
Is it something that I said?
A game I'm playing in my head
I've got nothing left to prove
You know I'm never here to lose
I'm De Niro in Casino
I'll be living in your head
Al Pacino in Carlito
With all that being said, you're never taking me alive

[Chorus]
You're never taking me alive
You're never taking me—

[Verse 2]
Does it come as a surprise?
I'll cut the tension with a knife
Like Sinatra would say
"I'm doing things my way"
I'm the chosen, not forgotten
I'm the word upon the streets
Off the top ropе, through the table
Do you like what you see? You'rе never taking me alive

[Chorus]
You're never taking me alive
You're never taking me alive
[Bridge]
Was it something that I, was it something that I
Was it something that I said?
Was it something that I, was it something that I
Was it something that I said?
Was it something that I, was it something that I
Was it something that I, was it something that I said?

[Chorus]
You're never taking me alive
You're never taking me alive

[Outro]
You're never taking me alive
