Bound together by these vices which we share
Can't go back in time can't pretend I don't care
Getting drunk in basements and singing along to all our friends' songs
Man I wish I could go back but those days are long gone
We may not be as young as we once were
But we're still alive and that's what matters
We Are Still Alive (Don't Forget)
Drinking Old Milwaukees back in 98
Eviction notices at Lions Gate
Barnard stoop hangs, giving Dibbs a beer
Who ever would have thought we'd end up here?
We may not be as young as we once were
But we're still alive and that's what matters
We Are Still Alive (Don't Forget)

Keep Out signs on boarded up buildings
Long stretches of derelict homes
Yet our brothers and sisters' still sleeping in the streets
Force fed lies of better days and opportunities disguised as the American Dream
But they don't know
That we see through them
They're counting on us to stay asleep
We're not asking for much but we need to change everything
All we've got is us and that's all we need
Don't believe in Kings
don't give a fuck about their kingdom
We are all we need
Can't afford to wake up, can't afford the care we seek
They're counting on us to stay asleep
We Are All We've Got
and that's all we need.

It's so hard
to say goodbye
Before being the man I can become
And I'm so far
from being prepared
To face the road that lies ahead.
And as I forge my own path
I carry your memory with me (both in my heart and on my skin)
I walked these streets where you grew up
Drawing inspiration from
These paint chipped buildings and gloomy overtones
The perfect setting for the birth of the working class dream
The world wasn't prepared
For what you had in store
You weren't just a soldier
But so much more
I watch these streets where they'll grow up
and have to take a step back
This beautiful home
and welcoming hearts
Just getting started, there's so much more to come
This world isn't prepared
For what we have in store
We aren't just a family
But so much more

Can't take these meetings
It's the fucking worst, it's like I don't belong here
Should be outside (In these streets)
I'm barely welcome here
I'm the fucking worst and I'm a butcher with words
And I can't help feeling I don't belong here
Can't shake the feeling I'm just a feral dog in human form
more comfortable In these streets
than in your stuffy boardrooms
I don't belong here

Nothing is owed to you
Take nothing for granted
We've all got struggles, it's all in how you cope
But grateful for your opportunities
Live without fear of regret and make each day better than the last
Spent 23 years staring at the ground
10 years gone by and I've fixed my posture now
There are no guarantees
The future is still unknown
"Instead of mourning what you don't have try celebrating what you do and appreciate what you've got"
So I said to myself, "be a better man than yesterday"
Looking at the past and finding my own way
Spent 23 years staring at the ground
10 years gone by and I've fixed my posture now
So I said to myself "Be a better man than yesterday".
