L2B - Survive Lyrics
[Hook]All my life I strive for greatness,If you wasn't by my side, don't do me any favors.Wake up grateful every day just to be alive,Now put me up against the odds. and I'll survive.I say I'll survive, I say, I say, I'll survive,Now put me up against the odds, and I'll survive,I say I'll survive, I say, I say, I'll survive,I say I'll survive, I say, I say, I'll survive.[Verse 1]First impression, skinny kid with a pale complexion,Dressed in black, which is reflection of his mild depression,Yet this smile on his face makes you questionHis motivation, which is based on his obsessionWith becoming the best and feeling destinedFor greatness, had some mistakes to correct,Took some steps in the wrong direction,But got pulled back like face-lift,Instead of running away from the pain, he embraced itBecause it made him not afraid to be brave whenFaced with almost any situation,But he's fed up and done with this procrastination,And this impatience got him in a silent rageFeeling like he's caged in, working a nine to fiveAnd writing rhymes when the day ends[Hook]All my life I strive for greatness,If you wasn't by my side, don't do me any favors.Wake up grateful every day just to be alive,Now put me up against the odds. and I'll survive.I say I'll survive, I say, I say, I'll survive,Now put me up against the odds, and I'll survive,I say I'll survive, I say, I say, I'll survive,I say I'll survive, I say, I say, I'll survive.[Verse 2]Never been a quitter since the start,May not be the strongest, but I got heart,And I got this art, so as long as I'm livingI'ma pick up this pen and give it my all,So if I fall, I'm there to pick myself up, and dust myself off,And learn from the loss like a champion does,Mainly because I've come to far just to hang up these gloves.I took my time, waited my turn,Now I've come to take everything I've earned.Thinking of all the bridges I've burned, 'cause I'm stubborn,But I've returned to rub it in the faces of everyoneWho ever said I would never learn,Aint it kind of funny how the tables turn?See you doing good and then suddenly get so concerned.The top is lonely, or so I've heard,But I've already been alone, and I know my worth,I've grown in to a wizard with words,You could learn a thing or two if you just observe.You tryin' to kill my vibe then swerve,Come at me in your rhymes and get served,I aint got the time, I'm busyComing for that number one spot that I deserve.[Hook]All my life I strive for greatness,If you wasn't by my side, don't do me any favors.Wake up grateful every day just to be alive,Now put me up against the odds. and I'll survive.I say I'll survive, I say, I say, I'll survive,Now put me up against the odds, and I'll survive,I say I'll survive, I say, I say, I'll survive,I say I'll survive, I say, I say, I'll survive.
