Am
It feels so good to be alive

Got all my family by my side

Couldn’t wipe this black off if I tried

I got a million miles on me

They want to see how far I go
G
The path was never paved with gold (Gold)

We worked and built this on our own (Own)

[Pre-Chorus]

And can’t nobody knock it if they tried
