Am
It feels so good to be alive
D Am
Got all my family by my side
G
Couldn't wipe this black off if I tried
Am B
That's why I lift my head with pride
[Verse 1]
Am
I got a million miles on me
Am
They want to see how far I go
G
The path was never paved with gold (Gold)
Am
We worked and built this on our own (Own)
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
And can't nobody knock it if they tried
D
This is hustle personified
Am
Look how we've been fighting to stay alive
G
So when we win, we will have pride
Am
Do you know how much we have cried?
Am
How hard we had to fight?
[Chorus]
Am
It feels so good to be alive (It feels so, so, so, so good)
D Am7
Got all my sisters by my side (I got all my sisters by my side)
G
Couldn't wipe this black off if I tried (Black off if I tried)
Am
That's why I lift my hеad with pride
D
Now we're sitting on top of thе world again, huh
[Verse 2]
Am
I got a million miles on me
D Am
They want to see how far I'll go (They want to see how far I'll go)

We fought and built this on our own (We fought and built this on our own, own)
