Listen up, child, there's one thing I've got to make clear
Yeah I do, you don't see it coming, hear it coming
Acting like you know nothing
About that strange rumor going on around hereTake me back to the land of the living
Take me down where the sun do shine
Take me back, things be different
You get it, got it, you better get it nowStay alive, let your soul rise up from the bottom
Stay alive, don't let it take you down for the very last time
Stay alive, it don't do you no good looking up from the bottom
Stay alive, don't let it take you down for the very last timeYou talk about lies and pain
It don't do you no good with your face in the cocaine
Love, hate, watch that mother, she'll bring you down like no other I've seen
If you know what I meanTake me back, got to face that demon
Take me down, don't play its fool
Take me back, things be different
You get it, got it, you better get it nowStay alive, let your soul rise up from the bottom
Stay alive, don't let it take you down for the very last time
Stay alive, it don't do you no good looking up from the bottom
Stay alive, don't let it take you down for the very last timeNo, I ain't seen nothin'
No, I ain't seen nothin'
No, I ain't seen nothin'
No, I ain't seen nothin' like you beforeTake me back to the land of the living
Take me down where the sun still shine
Take me back, things be different
You get it, got it, ooh, don't let it go nowStay alive, let your soul rise up from the bottom
Stay alive, don't let it take you down for the very last time
Stay alive, it don't do you no good looking up from the bottom
Stay alive, don't let it take you down for the very last timeStay alive, let your soul rise up from the bottom
Stay alive, don't let it take you down for the very last time
Stay alive, it don't do you no good looking up from the bottom
Stay alive, don't let it take you down for the very last time
One, two, three, four, d-d-don't you let it take you down
