(Intro – dark, echoing)
Yeah…
Still breathin’… still fightin’…
Had to survive this…
(808s comin’ in…)
(Verse 1)
Came from the dirt, had mud on my Nikes
Pain in my chest but I move like it’s likely
Devils keep talkin’, they don’t wanna fight me
I been in shadows, they never could find me
Cold nights, no heat, had to hustle for dinner
Lost so much, turned a boy to a sinner
Eyes on the prize, yeah, I move like a winner
But deep inside, I’m still fightin’ my inner
Voices keep callin’, say “give it all up”
But I pour out my pain when I fill up my cup
I was down bad, now I’m risin’ above
Still got scars, yeah, I came from the mud
(Hook)
I survive, I survive, yeah
Through the pain, through the lies, yeah
They ain’t know what it cost me
Now I’m cold, feelin’ frosty
I survive, I survive, yeah
Had to fight just to stay alive, yeah
Demons lurk in the night time
But I shine when it’s night time
(Verse 2)
Heartbeat racin’, I’m chasin’ the throne
No handouts, had to get it alone
They switched up, now they callin’ my phone
But where was you when my heart turned to stone?
Late nights starin’ at cracks in the ceilin’
Tryna numb pain, but I’m still out here feelin’
Broken soul but I keep it concealed
Battle scars, yeah, they never gon’ heal
I done seen fake love turn into hate
Real ones gone, now it’s too late
Had to learn how to carry that weight
Now I’m eatin’, but I starved for the plate
(Hook)
I survive, I survive, yeah
Through the pain, through the lies, yeah
They ain’t know what it cost me
Now I’m cold, feelin’ frosty
I survive, I survive, yeah
Had to fight just to stay alive, yeah
Demons lurk in the night time
But I shine when it’s night time
(Outro – fading, emotional)
Still here… yeah…
Took pain, made a way…
If you feel this… you survived too…
