Survive

Are you living or you dying

Are we living or surviving

Ain't it funny how they lock us in them cages for our vices

Every body got they prices can you tell me what you cost

Trynna make through the fire but your flesh keep burning off

Life aint turn out how you thought

Whole generation feeling lost

While they out there playing golf

You scrape and fought for what you got

And they tell you it get better but you still don't see results

so you turning to the cross and all the teachings masta taught

I don’t like to talk like this

Because it’s sounds pretentious

Like who am I to rap at you and try to offer wisdom

I’m just trynna get the people to combat the system

You deserve what was promised

And the life that’s gifted

Ain’t no reason you should feel like a statistic

Praying hoping wishing surviving through existence

So if I can stem a revolution through one of these writens

Then imma bring hell on them niggas in an instant

 

You stay strapped up with that rifle

granny strapped up with the bible

Read you scriptures daily and she say you need that wet revival

Rivals staking out and tryna take you out on the arrival

So you fitted for survival

and its just a constant cycle

All the while you wonder if you is it really worth it

what the purpose

Soul searching trynna figure out what’s your own purpose

every where you see them serpents

masked up strapped up like they purging

and you thinking it won't end

can't depend on none yo friends

can you make it through that shit

well you wont break if you don't bend

Keep your focus on your heart

And get to know yourself within

Just stay footed in your stance

and keep your chin up if you can

Don't you focus on no hater

Stack your paper get your yin

So just look up to the sky and watch the sun rise up my friend

Surviving once again to live until the end
