Intro* (Survival)
[Verse: Dave East & Kiing Shooter]
All I know
I planned a trip for all my hitters, we all could go (We all)
I grew up with fiends, this gun in my jeans
I'm gon' run a play, no audible (Let's go)
What the fuck is you callin' for?
Just wanted to shine, I couldn't get Armor All (At all)
I couldn't get money for bail, just tryna prevail
On Barbera, I want it all (Let's go)
Scrappy hit me from the jail askin' 'bout Kairi when we on the call (My n***a)
I was survivin'
I been at bitches way before I heard of Nicki, I was ménagin' (We did)
How bad n***as tryna clip me, thankful just to see the horizon (Fuck 'em)
Just me and Shooter in the Uber, pull up on 'em, n***a, surprise 'em (What's up?)
Demons wanna go at my conscious
What I'm duckin' the narcs for? (Why?)
Why they kill Freaky, the fuck they kill Mark for? (Why?)
That's when my heart tore
Mama was strugglin', why I'm in the park for?
Backup 'til my arms sore
Red carpet, every event need an encore
Always was standin' out
See my friend's gun, eatin' at my grandma house (Mama)
You ain't puttin' us on WorldStar
Somebody gettin' shot, you pull them cameras out
My homie had a good job then he got robbed
Said he in the scammin' now (Fuck it)
I ain't givin' n***as nothin' (Nothin')
Samples the only thing I'm givin' out (Word)
We've been cool since like sixteen, money got 'em lookin' at me different now
Me and my chains when I make a song
I couldn't wait, they was takin' long
It be goin' right, they try make it wrong
All this money, I could put a hater on
Detroit pimpin', got my gators on
I told her to pull up, no make-up on (No make-up)
Mami from Yemen can make a bomb
This from the heart, I hope they don't take it wrong
If you got robbed with a Rollie, you'da got robbed with a Jacob on (I swear)
Played a crib when the cable on
Only played a crib when the cable on (He did)
Survival is more than an album
Whole life changed when I made a song (Word)
(Whole life changed when I made a song)
