Survival Lyrics

I don't wanna do it

Try to find a nine to five just to survive

It feels so intrusive

We just normalized, we just normalized all this pain

We don't really seem to care or even wanna change

There's no way to talk about the things you wanna say

Try to teach someone to stand and they just walk away

I love the fantasy that love can conquer anything

But love ain't showing up for me

Someone come and help me please

Before it's too late

I'm begging you change

Life was not meant to be played out this way

We're going to break

No more can we take

Survival means learning which ones you should hate

It's not like love can just make all the bad things go away

We've gotta practice standing up and fighting every day

Look out into the streets, there is no reasoning

Through all this hate I'm just begging you to come with me

Before it's too late

I'm begging you change

Life was not meant to be played out this way

We're going to break

No more can we take

Survival means learning which ones you should hate

Welcome to the playground sway

Where the kids ain't at cause they work all day

When they parents got sick the government came

And told em all they still got bills to pay

But that's in the projects

Where white people don't live so it's not they problem

And when the cops come around

Start fucking up the grounds

White people wanna come and solve it

So how you gonna fix a problem that you can't see

Color blind, eyes wide shut, I caught you glancing

I seen you checkin in on Flynt water still nasty

While billionaires stashin they money right in the back seat

Ask me and I'll be listenin to the Black scene

Asking every question like its a vaccine

Booster injected I'm ready to learn me something

Same skin, think fast, doesn't equal same team

Before it's too late

I'm begging you change

Life was not meant to be played out this way

We're going to break

No more can we take

Survival means learning which ones you should hate

Before it's too late

I'm begging you change

Life was not meant to be played out this way

We're going to break

No more can we take

Survival means learning which ones you should hate

Survival means learning which ones you should hate
