Lyrical Analysis of...
Survivors feat. ZFour
- (GenXjeezy)
- 0:36
- Say what you want about me but you better believe I'm a survivor to my core
- This white boy from West Baltimore has been through more than you could endure
- I've had bullets miss my head by inches and overdosed on heroin using syringes
- Drug addiction is pernicious and trying to kill yourself that way is motherfuckin' vicious
- I wanted revenge on my parents for ruining my life so I wanted them to watch me die slowly
- So at 16 years old I started shooting heroin but I don't think they even cared remotely
- For the next 22 years I was on every drug you can imagine, constantly chasin' the dragon
- I overdosed multiple times but after 22 years I decided to quit street drugs and get on the wagon
- How many of you have had a gun stuck in your face and lived to tell the story?
- I don't talk about this shit to brag, get famous or gain anything, I don't do it for glory
- I just tell the truth so maybe you'll see that if I can survive all this shit you can too
- Or maybe it'll make you realize you don't have it that bad from my point of view
- I've been used and abused and treated like shit by the people who supposed to be family
- I've been through Hell and back and most of my life has been a big fuckin' calamity
- I've been dead and brought back to life two times and I've been to prison for committing crimes
- I've survived enough to last ten lifetimes yet here I am happy, loving life and writing rhymes
- This is a small taste of everything I've been through if I can survive so can you
- Even if all you have is yourself that's a good enough reason to come to your own rescue
- You can get through anything if you try all you gotta do is not lay down and die
- I don't mean to oversimplify look deep into yourself and there's a warrior to identify
- Here's the key, once you identify the warrior within you have to set it's ass free
- Once you've been through the right amount of bullshit you'll be a crazy ass G
- Never say never and never give up and forever absolutely refuse to surrender
- Don't fold under the pressure and fight like an animal until you get put on a stretcher
- The only way I'd ever be beaten is when I'm dead cuz you gonna have to kill me to win
- I'm a "victory at all costs" kinda guy and I'll do anything it takes to win and that includes sin
- I'll break the 6th commandment if necessary, believe I'm way willing to get scary
- Fuck around and find out and you'll just be another fuckin' corpse I need to bury
- (ZFour)
- Scared to walk to school 'cause I didn't wanna pass the wrong people,
- And if you passed 'em, you couldn't run, it'd make them more lethal,
- But if your ever called at, you do gotta run quick,
- As fast as ever, to save your cash and ass from gettin' kicked,
- I bet you ain't a survivor like me,
- Put yourself in my shoes and we'll see,
- I bet you don't have gun oil on your clothes that doesn't wash away,
- From target practice to do everyday,
- Or you haven't got a bullet wound at the age of nine, and survived,
- That ain't much, so don't act all surprised,
- Theres lots that I'm not sharing, 'cause I don't need your pity,
- 'Cause for you its a mystery, and for me it's a victory,
- And we all know, hard times make strong people
- So after these hard times, maybe life can be a little more peaceful,
- And the people with easy times, get your head outta video games, and into reality,
- And maybe you'd be able to gain some more sanity,
- This rap is for us survivors, you are chosen,
- We're here for you, don't worry if your broken,
- Now me and GenXjeezy have spoken.
