Celebrate Blood in the Pen Remix by Tre Mission Lyrics
[Bridge: Emily Haines]
I'll be standing tall
When you call, I'll be there, yes, I will
Don't even think of giving in
Though all your fears keep creeping into your mind
Even the darkest hours soon will be over
My friend, it will be over
I've been blessed and I've been cursed
I've been the best, I've been the worst
Now I'll take what's mine
[Chorus: Tre Mission]
Could've gave up, could've been dead
I chose to be ali-li-li-ve
Could've gave up, could've been dead
I chose to be alive instead
Could've gave up, could've been dead
I chose to be ali-li-li-ve
Could've gave up, could've been dead
I chose to be alive instead
Could've gave up, could've been dead
I chose to be alive instead
Could've gave up, could've been dead
I chose to be alive instead
Could've gave up, could've been dead
I chose to be alive instead
Could've gave up, could've been dead
I chose to be alive instead
[Verse 1: Tre Mission]
Now, I could've gave up, but I'm right back in
Kicked out the game, jumped right back in it
Put blood in the pen, then write tracks with it
Back to the roots like Mike Waxx with it
Jook, jook, jook, yeah, I'm like that with it
But I'd rather make money for the squad and the fam
I don't wanna ride or call for the scram
Fell in love with the roads, but it all was a scam
Now I'm in a new mindstate
I was flirting with the streets like a blind date
Way too many pings on the iPhone
I'm irate, gotta put it in airplane
Bet you thought I was gonna say vibrate
Bet you thought I was gonna stay down too
You never thought that I would land on my two feet
But I fell out the sky, now it's round two
[Break: Emily Haines]
I'll be standing tall
When you call, I'll be there, yes, I will
[Chorus: Tre Mission]
Could've gave up, could've been dead
I chose to be ali-li-li-ve
Could've gave up, could've been, could've been
I chose to be alive instead
Could've gave up, could've been dead
I chose to be ali-li-li-ve
Could've gave up, could've been, could've been
I chose to be ali-li-li-live
[Verse 2: Tre Mission]
Now, we could've gave up, but we never did
So everything else is irrelevant
You haffi know what it is, never hesitant
All we do is bill up this medicine
All we do is coke when life is a slope
Might smoke then fight from the ropes
No, I never lose faith in myself when I'm writing this truth
Same way, what I'm writing is dope, that's quotes
Niggas ain't real, that's hoax
They wanna see me in the wagon like Vaulk, no joke
Whoa, can you hold it down? Don't choke
This is the release of the woke
I awake in a new form, still flawed, I ain't ever been
Innocent, ever since newborn
Before life got real, it was all good
Before the ends got hot, it was new porn
Everyday new work, new money, new corn
And that's what it is and what it will be
If it don't kill me, that's called coming up
Even though I'm growing up, same way, I'm still me
[Bridge: Emily Haines]
I'll be standing tall
When you call, I'll be there, yes, I will
Don't even think of giving in
Though all your fears keep creeping into your mind
Even the darkest hours soon will be over
My friend, it will be over
I've been blessed and I've been cursed
And I've been blessed and I've been cursed
[Chorus: Tre Mission]
Could've gave up, could've been dead
I chose to be ali-li-li-ve
Could've gave up, could've been, could've been
I chose to be alive instead
Could've gave up, could've been dead
I chose to be ali-li-li-ve
Could've gave up, could've been, could've been
I chose to be ali-li-li-live
[Bridge: Emily Haines]
I'll be standing tall
When you call, I'll be there, yes, I will
Don't even think of giving in
Though all your fears keep creeping into your mind
Even the darkest hours soon will be over
My friend, it will be over
I've been blessed and I've been cursed
I've been the best, I've been the worst
Now I'll take what's mine
[Outro]
That's when the sound really came together in a way, and that's when... just knowing that you have to push yourself almost into the future to be the best possible version of yourself you can, cause you have to live down whatever you created for the next couple of years minimum, you know? And ideally for the rest of your life, so...
I'll be standing tall
When you call, I'll be there, yes, I will
Don't even think of giving in
Though all your fears keep creeping into your mind
Even the darkest hours soon will be over
My friend, it will be over
I've been blessed and I've been cursed
I've been the best, I've been the worst
Now I'll take what's mine
[Chorus: Tre Mission]
Could've gave up, could've been dead
I chose to be ali-li-li-ve
Could've gave up, could've been dead
I chose to be alive instead
Could've gave up, could've been dead
I chose to be ali-li-li-ve
Could've gave up, could've been dead
I chose to be alive instead
Could've gave up, could've been dead
I chose to be alive instead
Could've gave up, could've been dead
I chose to be alive instead
Could've gave up, could've been dead
I chose to be alive instead
Could've gave up, could've been dead
I chose to be alive instead
