It feels so good to be alive
Got all my family by my side
Couldn't wipe this black off if I tried
That's why I lift my head with pride
I got a million miles on me
They want to see how far I go
The path was never paved with gold 
We worked and built this on our own 
And can't nobody knock it if they tried
This is hustle personified
Look how we've been fighting to stay alive
So when we win we will have pride
Do you know how much we have cried
How hard we had to fight
It feels so good to be alive 
Got all my sisters by my side 
Couldn't wipe this black off if I tried
That's why I lift my head with pride
Now we're sitting on top of the world again
I got a million miles on me
They want to see how far I'll go
The path was never paved with gold 
We fought and built this on our own 
And can't nobody knock it if they tried
This is hustle personified
Look how we've been fighting to stay alive
So when we win we will have pride
Do you know how much we have cried
How hard we had to fight
It feels so good to be alive 
It feels so good so good
Got all my family by my side 
And we gon' sit on top of the world again
Couldn’t wipe this black off if I tried 
And I wouldn't trade nothing and I wouldn't trade nothing
That's why I lift my head with pride 
So baby lift your head yeah
It feels so good to be alive 
Darling it's a celebration for you
I got the tribe all by my side 
You're doin' everything they said you couldn't do
Couldn’t wipe this black off if I tried
That's why I lift my head with pride 
Lift your head
