Survival Lyrics
[00:06.31] Yeah!
[00:06.83] This is survival of the fittest
[00:12.47] This is do or die
[00:17.86] This is the winner takes it all
[00:22.22] So take it all, a-all, a-all, a-all
[00:28.32] Wasn't ready to be no millionaire, I was ill-prepared
[00:31.88] I was prepared to be ill though, the skill was there
[00:33.79] From the beginning it wasn't 'bout the ends, it was 'bout
[00:36.40] Bustin' raps and standin' for somethin', f- an acronym
[00:39.33] Cut the f- act like you're happy, I'm f- back again
[00:42.06] With another anthem, why stop when it doesn't have to end?
[00:44.76] It ain't over 'til I say it's over, enough when I say enough
[00:47.79] Throw me to them wolves and close the gate up, I'm afraid of
[00:50.32] What'll happen to them wolves when the thought of being thrown
[00:52.88] Into an alligator pit, I salivate at it, wait is up
[00:56.18] Hands up like it's 12 noon, nah, homie, hold them b- straighter up
[00:59.16] Wave 'em 'til you dislocate a rotator cuff
[01:01.23] Came up rough, came to ruffle feathers, nah, egos, I ain't deflate enough
[01:04.53] Last chance to make this whole stadium erupt, 'cause
[01:06.94] This is survival of the fittest
[01:12.37] This is do or die
[01:17.95] This is the winner takes it all
[01:22.39] So, take it all, a-all, a-all, a-all
[01:27.88] I can see the finish line with each line that I finish
[01:30.23] I'm so close to my goals, I can almost pole vault over the goal post
[01:35.06] And if I don't got enough in the tank, maybe I can just siphon enough
[01:38.20] To fill up this last can, man, will I survive in this climate or what?
[01:41.77] They said I was washed-up and got a bloodbath
[01:43.98] I'm not a rapper, I'm an adapter, I can adjust
[01:46.41] Plus, I can just walk up to a mic and just bust
[01:49.17] So, floor's open if you'd like to discuss
[01:51.50] Top five in this motherf-, and if I don't make the cut
[01:54.15] What? Like I give a f-! I'ma light this b- up like I'm driving a truck
[01:57.34] Through the side of a pump, 0 to 60, hop in and gun it
[02:00.15] Like G-Unit without the hyphen, I'm hyping 'em up
[02:02.77] And if there should ever come a time where my life's in a rut
[02:05.37] And I look like I might just give up, eh, might've mistook
[02:08.24] Me for bowin' out, I ain't takin' a bow, I'm stabbin' myself
[02:10.97] With a f- knife in the gut while I'm wipin' my butt
[02:13.97] 'Cause I just sh- on the mic and I like gettin' cut
[02:16.48] I get excited at the sight of my blood, you're in a fight with a nut
[02:19.33] 'Cause I'ma fight 'til I die or win, bitin' the dust
[02:21.83] It'll just make me angrier, wait, let me remind you of what
[02:25.68] Got me this far, picture me quittin'
[02:27.16] Now draw a circle around it and put a line through it, sl-
[02:29.62] It's survival of what?
[02:30.57] This is survival of the fittest
[02:35.52] This is do or die
[02:40.96] This is the winner takes it all
[02:45.50] So, take it all, a-all, a-all, a-all
[02:51.07] So, take it all, a-all, a-all, a-all
[02:56.93] (Yeah) so, get your ideas, stack your ammo
[02:59.56] But don't come unless you come to battle, now mount up, jump in the saddle
[03:02.96] This is it, it's what you eat, sleep, piss and sh-
[03:05.91] Live, breathe, your whole existence just consists of this
[03:08.39] Refuse to quit, fuse is lit, can't defuse the wick
[03:10.93] I don't do this music sh-, I'll lose my sh-
[03:13.22] Ain't got sh- to lose, it's the moment of truth, it's all I know how to do
[03:16.77] As soon as I get thrown in a booth, I spit
[03:18.62] But my respect is overdue, I'm showin' you the flow no one do
[03:21.93] 'Cause I don't own no diploma for school, I quit
[03:24.24] So there's nothin' for me to fall back on, I know no other trade
[03:26.73] So you better trade your f- mics in for some tool-box-es
[03:29.59] 'Cause you'll never take my pride from me, it'll have to be pried from me
[03:32.69] So, pull out your pliers and your screwdrivers!
[03:35.39] But I want you to doubt me, I don't want you to be-lieve
[03:38.36] 'Cause this is somethin' that I must use to succeed
[03:41.06] And if you don't like me, then fuck you! Self-esteem
[03:43.73] Must be f- shootin' through the roof, 'cause trust me
[03:46.44] My skin is too thick and bulletproof to touch me
[03:48.94] I can see why the f- I disgust you, I must be
[03:51.92] Allergic to failure, 'cause every time I come close to it
[03:54.37] I just sneeze, but I just go achoo then a-chieve!
[03:57.28] This is survival of the fittest
[04:02.90] This is do or die
[04:08.24] This is the winner takes it all
[04:12.80] So take it all, a-all, a-all, a-all
