Story Behind The Song

When i first heard this beat, I instantly fell in love. I knew I had to write something deep and meaningful. The second verse was inspired by the true and tragic story of my best friend "Ray D. Frazier" and how he lost his mother, Melody. She was in many ways a Mother-figure to me as well. So it wasn't hard to write from his viewpoint since i shared in his heartbreak from her untimely death.

Lyrics

Buried Alive

Verse 1:

In the mist of my pursuit of happiness.
I damn near missed true happiness.
The best things in life aint always free, but the free things make us the happiest.

The people we love can't be replaced, so it hurts when the Lord has to take 'em away.
And Even though, we know You're in a better place. It hurts like Hell not to see your face.

How we wish - That we - could pick and choose.
The friends - we get - the friends we lose.
the hurt - the scars - the stripes - the bruise.
The length - of time - to mend the wounds.

But it all comes down to a peace of mine.
With the things we accept and the things declined.
I do - admit - The fault was mine.
I do - regret - I bought the lie.

That we had more time.
I guess we didn't.
It all flew by.
Cause I kept forgetting.

to just stop by.
Come say hi.
And tell you i love you one last time.

The rain can't hide it when the tears get dense.
Your light subsided and the hurt's intense.
I do have faith, but it makes no sense.
when the world aint right without your presence.
I wanna fall down and be buried alive!


verse 2:

And I wish, somebody could've told me.
What it's like, when you gotta live life lonely.
When you wake up, without your one and only.
The only woman who's voice could console me.

You brought me into this world. How you go and leave me in it alone?!
I do my best and I'm trying to be strong. but it's hard when you're the only strength that you've known
and i wake up every morning, you're gone!

I'm like, "Father come on!"
You gotta be kidding me
sometimes - it seems - you forgetting me.

Sometimes the yoke is a little too much
and the sifting starting to get to me.

As i sit here watching my enemies conquer
it's almost enough to drive a sane man bonkers.

she used to sing the song by the late great Walter,
If anybody ask you, I'm Going up Yonder.


And now that she has.
The memories we made are all that i have
it still isn't enough to keep me from sad.
I know you're in a better place so I'm trying to be glad.


But the rain can't hide it when the tears get dense.
Your light subsided and the hurt's intense.
I do have faith, but it makes no sense.
when the world aint right without your presence.
I wanna fall down and be buried alive!

Verse 3:

Dear God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;

Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;

That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.

Amen.
