AL!vE is a 16 year old prodigy hailing from the Nickel and Dime (510) California. Born and raised in the church, she grew up in a family of 8 children with two parents who abused drugs. When she was six her father moved away to San Diego for a better job offer, leaving her mother to raise all the children alone. At the age of 12 she started writing poetry winning contests for the local Community Violence Solutions (formerly Rape Crisis Center), and gave her life to Christ at 13. It wasn't too long before she began writing songs. In the summer before entering her sophomore year she became involved with the "wrong people" and ended up getting into some legal trouble. She gave up writing and began to turn to a lifestyle that wasn't "church-approved." After spending her 15th Christmas and New Years in juvenile hall, she realized it was time for a change, and decided to re-dedicate her life to Christ. Ever since then, she has been struggling to maintain her faith in a public high school. She has now returned to making music, and has recorded her first single "Come To Me" which can be found on her free mixtape "Methodical Message."

Story behind the song
I am tired of seeing all these people sit up in a church on sunday and recieve the word of God like it's nothing, and then when it's time to roll up their sleeves and get dirty for God, they act like they're scared or something. It's time for us to hit the streets and witness! It's time for us to STAND UP!
Lyrics
[Intro Talking]I am tired of going to church on sunday and seeing all these people recieve the word of God, but then they will not tell it to anybody, it's like they're ashamed or like they have some big secret. Naaa. We can NOT let this world go in the direction that it's going. This world is headed to hell and we can not bring a generation of children , brothers, sisters, mothers into this world when we have the answer, we have the key, so SHARE IT! [Hook] STAND UP! For the things that u say u believe in And you gotta share the word yo you cant just recieve it STAND UP! For your thoughts, ya hopes and ya dreams And you gotta make it happen no hopefullys STAND UP! Make sure that your opinions are heard And do what u say actions speak louder than words STAND UP! Come on everybody get on ya feet And if you ready for revival then stand with me [Verse 1] We just sit in the church and recieve God's word Then when its time to witness we act like we never heard I'ts obsurd, they way we don't share the good news We know thats its needed but act like we too good to What good's it do if we all just sit on our backs Our world is headed to hell and we just sit and relax In fact, god gave us eternal life and salvation So why not share it in a world thats headed for damnation I'm contemplatin, the ideals, the values we hold We act like we too scared, got a fear of bein bold It's gettin old, we actin like we ashamed of the truth Why's it so hard to tell everyone "christ died for you" I mean let's get real he died so that everyone could see him But how will they know if we dont share what we learn every weekend Man I'm learnin and seekin, yearnin to meet him I don't think they heard me the first time, so burn and repeat it [Hook] STAND UP! For the things that u say u believe in And you gotta share the word yo you cant just recieve it STAND UP! For your thoughts, ya hopes and ya dreams And you gotta make it happen no hopefullys STAND UP! Make sure that your opinions are heard And do what u say actions speak louder than words STAND UP! Come on everybody get on ya feet And if you ready for revival then stand with me STAND UP! Be yaself, don't change or conform Don't let other people, determine how you perform STAND UP! Speak out against all of this violence, It's time for a change so stand up in the silence [Verse 2] So if you tired of following others Then come with me we'll stand together my brother Unified in Christ, an unbreakable fortress So stand for God if you think he's important Be a leader not a follower, lead the lost Don't let the devil takeover you gotta be the boss The cross; don't you remember what he did for you And all that he asks is that you tell a friend or two Befriended you, he's there no matter who may leave He gave you salvation so tell the news ya see! And truthfully, I praise God because he's the king The lord of lords and ruler of everything So I sing, praises and hymns, give praise to him Cause after I leave imma spend my days with him Amazament, in awe at our lazyness If u believe then go tell the what our creator did [Hook][Hook] STAND UP! For the things that u say u believe in And you gotta share the word yo you cant just recieve it STAND UP! For your thoughts, ya hopes and ya dreams And you gotta make it happen no hopefullys STAND UP! Make sure that your opinions are heard And do what u say actions speak louder than words STAND UP! Come on everybody get on ya feet And if you ready for revival then stand with me
