Cortez Lake’s “Lucky 2b Alive” hits like a survivor’s song carved straight from the soul. It’s not just a song, it’s a testimony. From the opening repetition of “all the shit I’ve been through”, Cortez holds nothing back, unpacking pain, perseverance, and the kind of gratitude that only comes after dancing with darkness and refusing to fold.

The repetition in the hook becomes a mantra: “We lucky to be alive, we gon’ thrive.” It’s more than catchy, it’s healing, meditative, and meant for anyone clawing their way out of something heavy.
