Adapt to Survive is about changing your lifestyle to survive. This could be referring to Noodah05’s decision to begin rapping instead of risking prison and death in the streets.
[Intro]
Huh
Ayy, if you've ever felt like you can't vent to nobody
Everybody need somebody, oh
What's happening, Chi-Chi?
[Verse 1]
It's hard to beat the odds when you come from the trenches
Keep telling to Nicki to take time to heal time, I know she with me
And my brother mad at me 'cause I thought he was snitching
Tell my mama I'd be a fool if I let 'em get me
Yeah, I ain't comin' where I can't go if I can't take my glizzy
I can't tell you 'bout a bankroll
But I can tell you 'bout them shootouts and them licks though
Tryna get rich, tryna put my family on the payroll
It's like I got a fake ID, they don't wanna let me in
Told P I'ma cry if they sentence him anything over ten
I think he understands more than me, that's just how life begins
They say my cousin killed my daddy, you can't trust your kin
They say he let him in
He was still playing the game, but that's just how the game go
He should've been clutching on that iron and kept his bangs close
Don't nobody know the truth, I bet your mans know
We took a lot of crosses, go through all that pain and suffering
I had to grow up looking to my brother as a father
To his killer, I'ma whack him, made my mama suffer
Boo still a man and a killer, now he made a daughter
I'm going up, but I'ma bring my ladder with me
He still mad, I know they broke, I got 'em penny pinching
If shit still made sense, you know that I wouldn't give opinions
Won't put my information in a bitch because they all friendly
[Interlude]
I'm drawing blood
I'm letting you all have it
My hood to your hood
Uh, 05
[Verse 2]
I put my passion in this shit, I gotta let 'em know
Keep coming home, eviction notice posted on the door
I ain't coming back inside the house, I gotta make a score
I gotta make them ends meet, Zion, they ain't gotta eat
I pick up where I left off if I drop the ball
I know Nut and Dooly don't wanna see me fall
Growing up, I watched my granddaddy serve second-hand
And if that shit come back to you, you know your mans ran
His mouth
I got a lot to talk about, I gotta push it out
Keep telling me that I'm the one, I took a different route
(Keep telling me that I'm the one, I took a different route)
