Quelle Chris - Alive Ain't Always Living (prod. Chris Keys) (Official Video) 

this song hits me deeeeeeeep, everytime I have a freking panic attack I just remember this song. "You can keep the feast and wine I just want my peace of mind" Oh Boy I live this lines.

“You can keep the feast and wine i just want my peace of mind” that’s what we want ❤️

That was super dope. Feels like that half drunk chill walk back from the bar, everything just feels right in the moment. The little gestures humans share in passing and the effect it can have on others.

This top tier Quelle. Love it. Mental health increased.

This song got me through a heroic dose of mushrooms. Things got a bit scary there for a while but this song on repeat got me out of a bad trip and sent me off into the universe smiling. Thank fuck this song exists because otherwise I might not.

New fan! Hopefully this is a sign of the new renaissance

hands down best track ive heard this year so far. mans only makes masterpieces

when i heard this i was like he made the perfect song for movie credits this song is earth shattering i want everyone to hear it

This ain't music.... it's medicine 🫡

Who knew all we needed is a feel-good song from Chris

Yeah, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Yeah, yeah I'm so grateful, so grateful to be alive But alive ain't always living, sometimes niggas just survive Day to day Plate to plate, two piece and fries Or the steak with leaves on side, sometimes low and sometimes high I'm so thankful for these people by my side Lord, I know what I done wrong, tryna be what I done right Veinticuatro, siete días, me, oh my You can keep the feast and wine, I just want my peace of mind Ooh, ooh, ooh Oh yеs, sir, it happens Go from FOMO to F-O-H, full Dr. Manhattan Present thе elegance of pain, the posture for passion The rebirth, the passing, the green earth amassing Open these palms of mine, let the stars align Had to work hard to see the God in me, but I know it's time Man, we tryna get up top, keep reachin', shit, I'm tryna peak the mountain too If everything happens for a reason, I ain't really got shit else to do But be grateful, grateful just to be alive But alive ain't always living, sometimes niggas just survive Day to day, plate to plate, two piece and fries Or the steak with leaves on side, sometimes low and sometimes high I'm so thankful for these people by my side Lord, I know what I done wrong, tryna be what I done right Veinticuatro, siete días, me, oh my You can keep the feast and wine, I just want my peace of mind Ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh, ooh My nigga, look I could write the book how fit he got just walking city blocks Bottles poppin' off, so many lost, plenty, my memory's shot Turning cold shoulders to warm shoulders, forgive me not I watched the pot, still boiled fast, look at your ass, just like your pops Apples don't fall far Shackles and family scars, tobacco by the carton for him The cologne, beg my pardon if the smell does offend Mi compadre and cadre, rang me up on a dark day Said, "Here's some notes, need to make some bold decisions Call your folks while they still living, let them know you right here with them Don't go ghost, hold tight that love you been given Takes work to hang ribbons in the sky, now why you gon' let that go up in smokes?" Heaven knows time flies Take a penny, leave a penny, skip a meal to feed the many I plead the fifth and better believe me, I only want for what is needed I ain't too proud to be defeated, just get back up on my feet to say I'm grateful, grateful just to be alive But alive ain't always living, sometimes niggas just survive Day to day, oh, plate-to-plate, two-piece and fries Or the steak with leaves on side, sometimes low and sometimes high I'm so thankful for these people by my side Lord, I know what I done wrong, tryna be what I done right Veinticuatro, siete días, me, oh my You can keep the feast and wine, I just want my peace of mind Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Yeah game

Love peace to goat ❤

This guy is so fucking cool thank you chris!!!

Quelle has long been one of Hip-Hops finest gems. And unlike most in the game, he's only gotten better over time. And this right here is some truly magical shit. Real food for the soul. We're blessed and I'm SO THANKFUL for QUELLE CHRIS.

This song legit makes me tear up on every listen from some deep place of human connection and compassion. And a dope video that only strengthens that connection
