SURVIVE

Once upon a time in a street where crime gave everyone a dime

The minds of the youth were influenced with lies and defeat

Beat a case to feed the family hungry souls creating work to keep

Doing right and crimes don't go together surviving for the need

Rotten seed in the dirt grows differently

without the ability to produce

Don't even try to lose everything for cheap not every sweet juice has a use

Too much excuses becomes a lie without trying to fight for the first match

Even getting defeated is a lesson,applying pressure helps from scratch

 

Once upon a time in a street where crime gave everyone a dime

The minds of the youth were influenced with lies and defeat

Beat a case to feed the family hungry souls creating work to keep

Doing right and crimes don't go together surviving for the need

 

Hustle hustling needed to get the bread

Don't wanna see the kids walking around hungry and upset

Working all day but can't think straight

don't wanna see the family separate

Late nights in the cold feet frozen hard to even speak

Weaken strings broken without rights, lost sights can't see in the light

 

Once upon a time in a street where crime gave everyone a dime

The minds of the youth were influenced with lies and defeat

Beat a case to feed the family hungry souls creating work to keep

Doing right and crimes don't go together surviving for the need

 

Love from the heart is bitten from evil words welcomed without knowing

Floating on the surface thinking daily to speak up feels harder to understand

If you ain't related on the same leve

l the mental speaks different on the other hand

 

Once upon a time in a street where crime gave everyone a dime

The minds of the youth were influenced with lies and defeat

Beat a case to feed the family hungry souls creating work to keep

Doing right and crimes don't go together surviving for the need
