Survival

[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]
