Soul Survivor Lyrics

(I'ma soul survivor)

(Soul survivor)

(Soul Survivor)

(Soul)

Real soul survivor

Grew up with the robbers

Before I was a teen, shot at least three choppers

My mom was my dad, even though I had a father

That's just how it be when you a boy from the bottom

Yeah, I know my dad, I'm just making sure that's right

But he was in another state living a whole different life

Felt left out, he had two steps kids and a whole different wife

He always made sure I was straight, so I can't sit up here and lie

But I just wish that he was here more, to show me how to be a man

My mama tryna teach me things, but she don't even understand

Wonder would I be the same, if everything had went as planned

Most of y'all got both parents in the house, so y'all wouldn't understand

Look at where I'm at, they prolly think I got a silver spoon

But I really had to work here, had to break a couple rules

It was times nobody was here, and I looked like the fool

It was times I wanted to give up, but that ain't what you do

Eight years old, heard "JR" die with my own ears

Thinking bout the screams that he make, they bring up old tears

Everybody round me dying, tired of hearing "long live"

If heaven had a number, would you still pick up the phone still?

Give yo' soul to the reaper

Let him keep it and reap it

Keep it and reap it

I'ma soul Survivor

What you know bout running from them boys when they pop out with sticks?

Scared to get in trouble with the law, cause my potna might snitch

I don't got no opps, I'm scratching everybody off the list

What you know bout having to keep it cool when they drop a diss?

Tryna keep my cool

Knowing one day I'll lose

I been tryna pay my dues

I been watching how I move

Real soul survivor

Grew up with the robbers

Before I was a teen, shot at least three choppas

My mom was my dad, even though I had a father

That's just how it be when you a boy from the bottom

Give yo' soul to the reaper

Let him keep it and reap it

Keep it and reap it

I'ma soul Survivor
