Survival

(album: 20Flaw7 - 2018)

If you're thinking you're down
Let me give some advice
Might as well quit now, If you ain't built for the fight
Make sure it's real in your heart
This doesn't work overnight
And you'll stay motivated only when the motive is right
See I made a lot of mistakes
I did some things I don't like
I got a lot on my plate, that's no excuse to the mic
You wanna judge me, it's fine
Let's bring it all to the light
Just make that you're perfect for the rest of your life
I'm just trying to follow my dreams
I know it's hard to believe
Some people don't wanna fail
I'm scared not to succeed
I came from nothing for-real
My city barely a scene
Seeing most of the world
What does success really mean
I drove myself through a business
They'll say "but he isn't fake"
I'm on the label I own
Guess you could say that I'm shameless
Don't got much longer to go
And I ain't taking it slow
Man I've been blessed with all the answers, but I got one to show
(You should know, you should know, you should know, you should know)

It-it's not over
It's not over
We just fighting for survival
It-it's not over
We just fighting for survival
It's not over

Never sweat an opinion
You do that, then they winning
Those that don't understand will criticize how you living
And they go and work for the boss
They had a plan and a vision
Hope they hired the people that doubted from the beginning
Hard to speak how I feel
Trying to keep up this shell
But it don't hurt man, it kills
I used to keep in all the pressure 'till I blew up for-real
And realized I'm tearing down everything that I built
I got this far from will
Cause I will, and I can
And I was, and I am
And I should, and I could
And I do, and I plan
To come out dry in any of the bad storms
Tell whoever counted me out, they did the math wrong
And tell these Janitor rappers to save the trash talk
I'm turning Hannibal, making take this mask off
No where to go, and I ain't taking it slow
I might not have been blessed with all the answers, but I got one to show
(You should know, you should know, you should know, you should know)

It-it's not over
It's not over
We just fighting for survival
It-it's not over
We just fighting for survival
It's not over

It-it's not over
It's not over
It-it's not over
It's not over
