Trae tha Truth
I Will Survive
[Hook]
I will survive
I will survive
I will survive
I will survive
[Verse 1]
They say death around the corner so I taking my aim
It ain't no point in tryna smile, shit I mastered the pain
Lost everything I love, what the fuck could I gain?
Clip dead everyday I'm seein' shit ain't the same
They told me hold my head up even if I'm ashamed
Why everyone I love leave, but somehow I remain
They either love ya or they hate ya, I'm just watching 'em change
That's why I converse with God while I'm doing my thing
J2 too got killed, damn lost him too soon
Looking at him at the wake, crying, wasn't immune
I know my little brother hurt, he barely come out the room
Somewhere blowing his brains out, probably high as the moon
I fell in love with a woman though I knew it was wrong
Went out and gave her my all, tried to make us a home
Went broke, looked up, why the fuck she was gone?
Momma told me it was coming, shit I wish she was wrong
She even took my baby with her, went the fuck on her way
And I can't even go and see him, I don't know where he stay
But regardless of the fact, he know his daddy is Trae
The way I'm feelin' make me wanna see the world with a K
Shit I barely get to see him two times out a month
I told Boss I'm goin' crazy I can't even much front
They say the road rough, must've been a hell of a bump
I got this banger on my lap, try to play me for punk, motherfucker
[Hook]
I will survive
I will survive
I will survive
I will survive
[Verse 2]
I can't make it up out the streets like I'm doing a bid
Deserving a better day, but for they now they was hid
They got a n***a's road dog locked doing a bid
Even though my n***a gone, gotta take care of his kids
All these fuck n***as really got me fed, I'm through
Got me sitting trying to figure what the fuck did I do?
Me and n***as splitting up, where the fuck is the glue?
Other n***as turning snake, damn say it ain't true
M-U-G God damn that's cold
I'm on the way to the grave, gotta get it controlled
Seeing death after death kinda taking its toll
Even though I'm outta of luck I say fuck it and roll
Barely every get the the time I could kick it with Neek
Realizing the prayers count when he stands on his feet
He the reason I was fighting every day of the week
So I tell T.O. I love him, every time that we speak
Facetime late night with the D-O-G
Waiting on the court date to see what shit gonna be
If he ain't got shit left, he know he still got me
A-B-N n***a, L-I-F-E
I rather be hard than to be here sad
Tryna stop my little n***a before he go out bad
Tryna keep shit trill, same thing like Chad
I don't wanna see him get murdered tryna get that cash
[Hook]
I will survive
I will survive
I will survive
I will survive
