Survival ft. Teezykay Lyrics

My niggas told me to hustle because the streets for survival

It's been so hard at the bottom , I pray to God to be something

I can't be talking too much, I got some fakes that surround me

My niggas told me hustle because the streets for survival yeah

You would think I had it easy when you see where I'm from (yeah)

I had so many dark nights out here living with my mom

Power outs were a norm in my life , I had to study with no light and that's when I found God

He showed me the path said " let there be light " all I had to do was follow due to Demand

I came to my mother with a plan little did I know that she just wouldn't understand

Telling me all about school really killing my mood cause there teachers called me a fool

That gave me no motivation at all to pursue a scholarship cause a nigga tryna ball

All I really wanted was a better life for us so I had to go and answer destinies call (prrr-Hello)

Funny thing is we still on the call and we haven't hung up

The path's really clear , your boys on a roll , internationally known yeah I'm bringing Home the cup

You made a boy genius like I'm Jimmy Neutron or the boy with the glasses with the Same name as me

Your baby boy dropping all the hits and he bout to cop a crib shouts out to that nigga A-Reece

When I failed ma eish yeah it really hit home , disappointment on your face it was written Like a poem

I had people stab me in the back rejecting me and all like Shrek I really felt so alone

It was back then when suicidal thoughts were creeping in my head what kept me alive Was the music

At that time I didn't drop deluxe yet I didn't want to do it , read my shirt and it said just do It

What a pivotal time in my life yeah I'm glad to say I got my mind right and proved my Teachers wrong

All I needed was 1% to really go through now I'm part of the 1% that makes it doing what I do

It's funny how life worked out , we're living right and your boys making moves

I'm giving you a perfect life ma for all that you did , just doing what I do

My niggas told me to hustle because the streets for survival

It's been so hard at the bottom , I pray to God to be something

I can't be talking too much , I got some fakes that surround me

My niggas told me hustle because the streets for survival

My niggas told me to hustle yeah the streets for survival

It's been so hard at the bottom , I thank you God things got soft

I can't be talking too much , I got to fix the Cîroc

And my niggas told me to hustle yeah the streets for survival
