Only the Strong Survive (feat. Da Gift)
It was only a matter of time, you see, when I started lovin' myself and findin' myself
Like, man, ain't nobody gon' tell me shit
I don't give a fuck what nobody has to say
I just believe in myself, I stay down and I prayed up
Thank God, man, I made it this far
I was a soldier puttin' in work before I became a boss
I knew how to play my part, kept it real from the start
Seen the real from the frauds, so I'm trustin' the soul
Shit, some niggas changed when the money got involved
And I got jammed up, ain't no tellin' what's involved
So I'm aimin' for the moon, shit, I'm shootin' for the stars
You gotta feel my pain, cuz I do this from the heart
Remember the cold nights, I was sleepin' on the floor
So I worked my ass off, cuz I knew I wanted more
Shit, I knew I wanted all, shit, I just wanted the ball
Be the closest niggas next to you, prayin' on your damn fall
Shit, life is crazy, that's the reason I don't trust nobody
I keep my friends slim, just so I can see who's shady
It's kinda crazy, cuz lately, maybe they startin' to hate me
It's kinda crazy, cuz lately, maybe they startin' to hate me
Only strong survive they will not make it, Yeah
I'm beatin' on my chest, I'm on my Ape shit, Yeah
If karma's a bad bitch, I wanna taste it, yeah
Take a look in the mirror, I need to face it, Yeah
Can't forgot about my past there no erasing
On the road to happiness don't need for me To chase it yea
Born to win best believe we gonna make it
Life comes wit ups and down I'm hopin that You can take it yeah
Had to get it how I live, there's no escaping Yeah
Real recognize real, there ain't no fakin shit
So much blood in these streets, I cannot Take it yeah
Once a nigga life gone, there ain't no Replacing yeah
You know I did this alone, did this shit on my own
Now I'm provin' them wrong, see the shit and I'm on
Now they callin' my phone, they was hittin' all along
Shit, the weather was too bad, didn't survive the storm
Had to get it by any means, so I follow my dreams
Stayed out of them streets, stayed out of them beefs
Smooth criminal shit, but I wasn't a Billie Jean
I put in ' blood,swear' and tears, but who the fuck really care
So much shit, God the only man that I fear
That's why I be facin' my fears, like look, I'm standin' right here
Everybody got opinions now, stay the fuck out my ear
Man, I just do what I want, let me right my wrongs
Only the strong to survive, you know I ain't tellin' no lies
I be trustin' the soul now, handshake, it matchin' the smile
Shit, handshake, it matchin' the smile
So whenever you talkin' to me, just look me dead in my eyes, nigga
Only strong survive they will not make it, Yeah
I'm beatin' on my chest, I'm on my Ape shit, Yeah
If karma's a bad bitch, I wanna taste it, yeah
Take a look in the mirror, I need to face it, Yeah
Can't forgot about my past there no erasing
On the road to happiness don't need for me To chase it yea
Born to win best believe we gonna make it
Life comes wit ups and down I'm hopin that You can take it yeah
Had to get it how I live, there's no escaping Yeah
Real recognize real, there ain't no fakin shit
So much blood in these streets, I cannot Take it yeah
Once a nigga life gone, there ain't no Replacing yeah
Ooh, I put my blood, sweat, and tears in this
Hopin' you can feel this shit
Ooh, I put my blood, sweat, and tears in this
Hopin' you can feel this shit
Now I just feel like the time to get it, it's like it's now or never
See
See
Cause I done did everything like, it's like, what else left
Cause it's like, now is like the perfect time
That's why it's called Perfect Timing
Like, man, ain't nobody gon' tell me shit

I just believe in myself, I stay down and I prayed up
Thank God, man, I made it this far
