The word is
ALIVE
The title is supposed to reference
the Song 'alive' by Sia (cya) and Adele (a dell)
As I am, a state of being.
Alive means you are existing
Drop the first, a verb of similar meaning.
Live means that you are living, similar to existing
Exchange the first, a debatable fruit.
An olive is a fruit but could be considered a nut or vegetable
Drop one and two, friend of a root.
The suffix -ive, a common root ending to words.
Drop first, read in reverse, the type you don't want to be meeting.
You don't want to meet evil people

2$\begingroup$ I've heard of olives being debatable between fruit or vegetable, but never nut. $\endgroup$– KevinSep 13, 2017 at 19:44

$\begingroup$ Maybe the word was supposed to be "robot" instead of "root"? In that case, this could be the "friend of a robot". $\endgroup$ Sep 13, 2017 at 20:35

1$\begingroup$ It's pretty lame joke, but it's referencing a recent song, Alive, that Sia wrote for Adele. A computer.... A dell. Adele didn't end up using the song so Sia took it back and used it, so Cya! For her name and a sort of "bye Felicia" feel. :P $\endgroup$– SensoraySep 14, 2017 at 11:21
