Survival Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Welcome
You have been born into the wonderful place of despair
Where everyone who is weak suffers and where life isn’t fair
Broken hearts, fake smiles, murder, crime, no one cares
People don’t realize that the good life is actually a nightmare
Getting hungry over this famine I need some food for thought
Survival 101 in real time, something I was never taught
Giving me my own lessons on how to withstand the weather
Just a little boy crying on the streets tryna find some shelter
Staring past the night, gazing at the stars
Losing control of my mentality, cause victory seems so far
When you arrive the cold world it’s every man for himself
Learned it the hard way that’s why I only count on myself
Yeah friends at a distance, enemies close
Sometimes the ones you call friends be who envy the most
Many would do any deeds just to get enough of what they need
The art of survival is treachery, they do by any means
[Hook]
Uh, I really can’t live here any longer
Darkened place has got me driving insane
Losing confidence in the light
The morose rain is drowning out all my flame
The only hopeful souls that have a chance
Are ones who have the money, power, and fame
I got my own, out here all alone
Uh, keep it together cause I gotta survive
Yeah, gotta get my act together if I want a chance to make it through it alive
Yeah, gotta get my act together if I want a chance to make it through it alive
Tryna scrap up as much as I can get cause if I don’t then I am certain to die
Uh, gotta get my act together if I want a chance to make it through it alive
[Verse 2]
Reinstate the mind’s motivation
To endure through the pain and maintain my existence
People tell me I’m done, but I have not yet finished
Gotta keep it moving, up the pace and break into haste
Blood, sweat, and tears, the effort is worth becoming an ace
The motto tells me you only live once and then you die
But the troubles I went through got me feeling like I got nine lives
People vex me along my journey, but now it don’t affect me
Because compared to other trials, this is nothing but easy
Leaving this place behind as fast as I can, running ASAP
Like Lot fleeing from Sodom, I ain’t gonna turn back
The grasp of sorrow is chasing behind, worries and fears
But I can’t stop now, the relief of survival is near
Pushing till the end, feeling so tired running out of air
Haven is arriving, it’s a small glimpse, but I know it’s there
[Hook x2]
