Alive and Well

This life we live can be kinda crazy to me Don't know what be going on So much is going on Maybe it's the TV Everything that I see Cause some things are make believe Cause some things make you believe That if you get on the other side of the fence That your life will be much better than it is But if you're a fat man Be a happy fat man And if you're a poor man Then be a happy poor man I'm not trying to sit and tell you not to better yourself But if you're alive and well Just be alive and well This high society has got me wanting to be Something that I am not Want everything that I ain't got Sometimes I wish that I could be someone other than me But the fact still remains Who I am will never change Maybe it's the TV, everything that I see Cause some things are make believe But some things make you believe That if you get on the other side of the fence That your life will be much better than it is But if you're a fat man Be a happy fat man And if you're a poor man Then be a happy poor man I'm not trying to sit and tell you not to better yourself But if you're alive and well Just be alive and well You are original Ain't no others like you So beautiful, special, wonderful too And I know you wanna find a way to put a little extra on it Ain't nothing wrong with trying to be more than Who and what you are But if you're a fat man Be a happy fat man And if you're a poor man Then be a happy poor man I'm not trying to sit and tell you not to better yourself But if you're alive and well Just be alive and well But if you're a fat man Be a happy fat man And if you're a poor man Then be a happy poor man I'm not trying to sit and tell you not to better yourself But if you're alive and well Just be alive and well --- Alive and Well - Musiq Soulchild
