Pain & Survival Lyrics

From young I had respect from the old Gs

On it for a scrap I never knew about no cold feet

Told bro if you see him better phone me

Send the location right now I'm on the way G

Pain & survival is the way the life made me

Told my girl I'm emotionally scarred like baby

I've looked the devil in the eye you couldn't scare me

How this nigga kill my mum on Christmas Day G

The trauma affected me my temper is crazy

My dad died of cancer from smoking daily

I'm in the booth with a maggie and a haze spliff

It's only truths in my raps I couldn't fake shit

Thought I was going jail but the sentence suspended

My co D, had another a case, it was pending

Said he getting locked cah he a risk of re offending

Told ma nigga ride it, his in there, blending

Zim boy, grew up in the bd city

What you think boy, the life that I seen quite gritty

My bro said I'm good, with the flows, like biggy

A nigga from the mud, you know, I'm with it

If they ever talk rap and they don't mention the kid

Well it's must be all cap cos I'm the realist there is

Free ma brother sam cah he'll be gone for a bit

Remember we was young we thought these times would be lit

Same 24 hours that's what molly mae said

My niggaz send text out when they wake up from bed

Another day another risk to make a raise off Z

I know some niggaz only trapping so the kids get fed

27 years on earth ya boy really getting older

Things need get done I got weight on my shoulder

I'm tryna cut through with my brothers like the jonas

They say we got freedom but the system owns us

If evil made a choice then I think that it chose us

It's fucked up the shit that this life really showed us

Survival kids we the dreamers and hopers

You gotta, play for keeps that's what living really taught us

Stay away from my man to feds his a talker
