Gotta Survive |
| I don’t regret nothing that I have ever done |
| At this point I don’t owe nobody an explanation |
| Man, they love you when you up |
| Kick you when you down |
| Look around, VH1 man, where are they down |
| Life is amusing, nobody like to see you cruising |
| But everybody like to see you losing |
| So I stop despise, on top of lies |
| And if it prophesied I’ll be ostracized |
| And one day, I lost my rhodium on the day I hit the podium |
| Now I’m back on top and salty like sodium |
| A gift to this world man, wrap me with a ribbon |
| Why do you look for a dead among the living |
| Some thought I was crazy, some thought I was dissing |
| Some said I was lazy, some said I was different |
| I was so loaded, that everybody floated |
| But once I got the notice then I got focused |
| And then I saw the motive, so everybody rode it |
| So I did the way wrote it and live it the way I quote it, come on |
| Gotta survive in this life that’s being given to me |
| When it seems that the world keeps crushing on me |
| When I’m down at the back, just keep it real |
| Gotta survive, gotta survive |
| Gotta survive in this life that’s being given to me |
| So I try and I try to be really true |
| When it seems that the world keeps crushing on me |
| Gotta survive, gotta survive |
| Hold up, trying to tell me what I’m not |
| Pull up in the 'Bach, now I’m all of the sudden hot |
| Now they want to stop just to look at what I got |
| Thought they want my home man, left me out to rot |
| So I had to make it on my own, take it on my own |
| I wanted out the hood I had to 'scape it on my own |
| Believe me now, it’s easy now |
| 'Cause everybody see me now and I’m on TV now |
| But it started out with low budget |
| Then I took it around the world the folks love it |
| In the beginning man, my life it was so rugged |
| But now I shine like a gold nugget, 'cause I made the most of it |
| I know how you feeling man, I was weary |
| Some days I used to sit there, my eyes all teary |
| Thinking to myself, do anybody hear me |
| Now I know, you making it out is not a theory, come on |
| Gotta survive in this life that’s being given to me |
| When it seems that the world keeps crushing on me |
| When I’m down at the back, just keep it real |
| Gotta survive, gotta survive |
| Gotta survive in this life that’s being given to me |
| So I try and I try to be really true |
| When it seems that the world keeps crushing on me |
| Gotta survive, gotta survive |
| I’ve been laughed at, talked about, ridiculed |
| But I got a Bentley and I’m still not a bitter dude |
| And you know it’s not coincidence, that me and you is not so intimate |
| I can’t fake, I don’t shake, I don’t break |
| I don’t lose, I don’t use, I don’t groove |
| I never lacked and I’m never going back |
| I’m nothing you ever sorrow |
| I’m telling you that I’m immortal |
| Gotta survive in this life that’s being given to me |
| When it seems that the world keeps crushing on me |
| When I’m down at the back, just keep it real |
| Gotta survive, gotta survive |
| Gotta survive in this life that’s being given to me |
| So I try and I try to be really true |
| When it seems that the world keeps crushing on me |
| Gotta survive, gotta survive |
| Got to, got to survive |
| Keep your head held high |
| Got to, got to survive |
| Keep your head to the sky |
| Got to, got to survive |
| We can make it every time |
| Got to, got to survive |
| Gotta survive, gotta survive |
| Gotta survive in this life that’s being given to me |
| (Yeah) |
| When it seems that the world keeps crushing on me |
| When I’m down at the back, just keep it real |
| (You know there is nothing in this world) |
| Gotta survive, gotta survive |
| (That could separate me) |
| Gotta survive in this life that’s being given to me |
| (From what I believe |
| So I try and I try to be really true |
| (from what I’ve achieved) |
| When it seems that the world keeps crushing on me |
| (All of this is because of him) |
| Gotta survive, gotta survive |
| (And I’m telling you now) |
| Gotta survive in this life that’s being given to me |
| (As much as you all don’t want to hear this) |
| When it seems that the world keeps crushing on me |
| (I could do nothing to myself) |
| When I’m down at the back, just keep it real |
| Gotta survive, gotta survive |
| (It's all through him, it’s all through him) |
| Gotta survive in this life that’s being given to me |
| (So all around the world) |
| So I try and I try to be really true |
| (You don’t even know success) |
| When it seems that the world keeps crushing on me |
| (Until you know him) |
| Gotta survive, gotta survive |
| (And him is Jesus) |
