Dj Khaled Staying Alive
On “STAYING ALIVE,” Drake and Lil Baby largely describe their lives revolving around women and the challenges they overcame to live lavishly. The song marks DJ Khaled’s first release of 2022, serving as the lead single for his forthcoming thirteenth studio album, GOD DID, which is set to release on August 26, 2022.
August 4, 2022, DJ Khaled announced the song’s release date via Instagram with the caption:
DJ KHALED FEAT. @champagnepapi @lilbaby #STAYINGALIVE 🕺🏽🪩 TONIGHT MIDNIGHT! This #GODDID
The song was released on August 5, 2022, along with an accompanying music video depicting Khaled, Drake, and Baby working in a hospital.
Whilst the three artists have collaborated with each other on separate occasions, “STAYING ALIVE” marks the first collaboration between all three on the same track.
Drake and Lil Baby have collaborated on a slew of songs, including Baby’s formative 2018 hit “Yes Indeed” and Drake’s high-energy 2020 track “Wants and Needs.”
Similarly, Drake and Khaled have a storied history of collaborations, with Drake most recently featuring on Khaled’s July 2020 singles “GREECE” and “POPSTAR.” Likewise, Lil Baby is featured on Khaled’s May 2021 track “EVERY CHANCE I GET.”

Lyrics
[Chorus: Drake & DJ Khaled]
Try me a hundred times
Wanted me to lie, wanted me to cry, wanted me to die (Real life)
Ah, ah, ah, I’m stayin’ alive, I’m stayin’ alive, I’m stayin’ alive, I’m stayin’ alive
Another one, yeah
Try me a hundred times
Wanted me to lie, wanted me to cry, wanted me to die (DJ Khaled)
Ah, ah, ah, I’m stayin’ alive, I’m stayin’ alive, I’m stayin’ alive, I’m stayin’ alive
[Verse 1: Drake]
How she in love and she been over once?
It’s not like I known her for months
This life, it allowed me to take what I want
It’s not like I know what I want
It’s not like I know what I need
I get some time, but there’s no guarantees
When I was broke, she was bein’ a tease
Four pockets full, now she down on her knees
Woah, woah, woah-woah
Baby gon’ hit it, then send her to me, yeah
Or I’ma hit it and send her to Baby
That’s how I get when this life get too crazy
Woah, woah, for real, for real, woah
They tryna seal the deal
See me up under a sheet, parade in the streets, yeah
[Chorus: Drake & Lil Baby]
Try me a hundred times
Wanted me to lie, wanted me to cry, wanted me to die
Ah, ah, ah, I’m stayin’ alive, I’m stayin’ alive, I’m stayin’ alive, I’m stayin’ alive
Yeah
Try me a hundred times
Wanted me to lie, wanted me to cry, wanted me to die
Ah, ah, ah, I’m stayin’ alive, I’m stayin’ alive, I’m stayin’ alive, I’m stayin’ alive, for real (Oh, yeah)
For real, for real
[Verse 2: Lil Baby]
I put my feelings aside, you want me to die, but, baby, I’m stayin’ alive
‘Posed to be one of a kind, you puttin’ on miles, I thought you was down for the ride
I’m tryna turn up her style, we go in Chanel, she get everything in her size
She in some shit with another guy, I don’t even care, whenever I see you, you mine
Drizzy hit her, then he send her to me
I don’t talk, definition of P
Hood nigga turned superstar, but I fuck her good like I’m still in the streets
No response, you can see that I read it
I’m with all that whenever you ready
Sure be happy if I fell off, but I’m still there, they gon’ have to accept it
[Chorus: Drake & Lil Baby]
Try me a hundred times
Wanted me to lie, wanted me to cry, wanted me to die
Ah, ah, ah, I’m stayin’ alive, I’m stayin’ alive, I’m stayin’ alive, I’m stayin’ alive
Try me a hundred times
Wanted me to lie, wanted me to cry, wanted me to die (Wanted me to die)
Ah, ah, ah, I’m stayin’ alive, I’m stayin’ alive, I’m stayin’ alive, I’m stayin’ alive, for real (For real)
For real, for real (For real, for real)
