Survival

[Intro] (Ow, ow-ow-ow-ow! Ow, ow-ow-ow-ow!) Yeah, yeah, yeah! [Verse 1] How can you be sitting there Telling me that you care That you care When every time I look around The people suffer in the suffering In every way, in everywhere [Chorus] Say, na-na-na-na-na (na-na, na-na!) We're the survivors Yes, the Black survivors [Verse 2] I tell you what, some people got everything Some people got nothing Some people got hopes and dreams Some people got ways and means [Chorus] Like Daniel out of the lions' den (Black survivors) Survivors, survivors [Verse 3] So I Idren, I sistren Which way will we choose We better hurry, oh, hurry, oh, hurry, whoa, now Because we got no time to lose [Verse 4] Some people got facts and claims Some people got pride and shame Some people got the plots and schemes Some people got no aim it seems [Chorus] [Verse 5] Like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego (Black survivors) Thrown in the fire, but-a never get burn So I Idren, I-sistren The preaching and talking is done We've gotta live up, wo now, wo now! Because the Father's time has come Some people put the best outside Some people keep the best inside Some people can't stand up strong Some people won't wait for long [Chorus] [Verse 6] In this age of technological inhumanity (Black survival) Scientific atrocity (survivors) Atomic mis-philosophy (Black survival) Nuclear mis-energy (survivors) It's a world that forces lifelong insecurity (Black survival) All together now [Chorus] [Outro] A good man is never honoured (survivors) In his own country (Black survival) Nothing change, nothing strange (survivors) Nothing change, nothing strange (Black survivors) We got to survive, you all!
