[Intro]
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)
G
The path was never paved with gold (No)

We fought and built this on our own (We fought and built this on our own, own)
[Pre-Chorus]
Am
And can't nobody knock it if they tried
