Lyrics Survivor - CEE, Bonfire

Survivor

I can feel it, it’s everywhere, it’s surrounding me
The sky the limit but the clouds, they overshadow me
It’s heavy now but ain’t nothing on what it’s 'bout to be
I’m staying up, coz my father is looking down on me
And so I move with gratitude, I had to do it
Had to lose it, acting ruthless, a nuisance, so damn a movement
Came up outta this one thing, from rapping to plucked strings
It happened, the family hit the map off the one dream
Aye, best believe you your Top 5
Whoever you letting share in your energy stockpile
I’m tryina stay mindful every morning, with a primer and a coffee
And an unforgiving focus on survival and the glory
Dog, I’m trusting in my inner wisdom
And all the angels who’ve been guiding me, forgive the slippin'
I know that greatness is inside of me, I sit and listen
And still innately know that time’ll be my biggest critic, somebody tell me why
Hook (Bonfire):
You do you, and I’ma do me
Put out the fire burnin' inside me
‘Coz I was a fool and he was a king
Nurture the storm, ‘coz
I’m a survivor, I’m a survivor
I’m a survivor
Father help me harness all this energy
Verse 2 (Cee):
I can feel it, it’s everywhere, it’s surrounding me
The kid is turning into everything they’d doubt he’d be
I see 'em scoping, green envy, they astounded, see
The spirit of my blessed ancestors, echo loud in me
And so on days when the going get tough, and I feel so in a rut
I think of him and know he’s holding me up
I see a man who loved strong and worked hard
He did wrong by noone, through his sons, he lives on
Every day, up in the mirror, I see him
And I be steadily reminded why I’m here and I’m breathing
I got a reason, I’ma celebrate the man he was, every accolade in us
He raised me and my brother to be soldiers, man we never was
Afraid to take a risk, 'fraid to leave it all and dip
Afraid to be just who we are, follow dreams of making hits
I know that greatness is inside of us both, we with the vision
And innately we just do it all for pops, I hope he listening
Hook (Bonfire):
You do you, and I’ma do me
Put out the fire burnin' inside me
‘Coz I was a fool and he was a king
Nurture the storm, ‘coz
I’m a survivor, I’m a survivor
I’m a survivor
Father help me harness all this energy
Bridge (Bonfire):
I’ma survive, I’ma survive
I’ma survive, I’ma survive
Hook (Bonfire):
I’m a survivor, I’m a survivor
I’m a survivor
Father help me harness all this energy
