Survivor ft. Josiah Lowe Lyrics

I'm a survivor

You cannot go where I'm from

It's too late now boy don't try to run

I'mma hold it down 'cause I came from the slums

Oh

I'm a survivor

You cannot go where I'm from

It's too late now boy don't try to run

I'mma hold it down 'cause I came from the slums

Oh

I been survivin'

Feelin' alive when

All of my family around me is thrivin'

I been chillin' you know that we vibin'

I done seen this all before so I ain't buyin'

I done came prepared for a storm for the rain

You can see it in my eyes that's the calm hurricane

This is not a game

Been smellin' like smoke but got water in my veins

You barely heard me comin'

Now you're stuck all on my name

See I'm a fighter, get the lighter

Bring the flame just like igniter

Want the bars?

Well this a cypher

You decipher what you want

I thought that you were tough

But now I'm seeing it's a front

A storm is coming

Send you down the field like it's a punt

I'll keep survivin'

You can keep lyin'

I got the hope that you need and I'm ridin'

I'll keep on writin' hooks that keep slidin'

Death is not the end, so I guess I am invitin'

I'm a survivor

You cannot go where I'm from

It's too late now boy don't try to run

I'mma hold it down 'cause I came from the slums

Oh

I'm a survivor

You cannot go where I'm from

It's too late now boy don't try to run

I'mma hold it down 'cause I came from the slums

Oh

Friday night

Send the text

Turnin' up

Comin' next

Couple hundred people chillin' at the house now

Only 10 another keg is runnin' out now

Everybody underage 5 for a cup

1000 in the pocket now the rent squared up

Modern day hustle, but everybody drunk

Heard a knock on the door cop said wassup

Man we got a couple bricks up in the safe

And if they find that

Penitentiary at stake

He said boy this place is poppin' and we got a few complaints

I said officer we're sorry we'll be uppin' the restraints yeah

Left us with a warnin'

Messed up in the mornin'

Thinkin' about bout what woulda happened if they had a warrant

Mama tried to raise me, love God and be smart,

But somewhere on the way I chose to flow down with the current

This is when my mama said it's time to go to church

I said nah, she said free lunch, I said okay sure

And while I sat up in that auditorium the spirit stirrin' 'em

Emotions and I'm cryin' while I usually sit in silence

But the Lord was sayin' son I got some plans and you ignorin' 'em

Askin where I'm at, but the blessings you've been pourin' 'em

This the day I swear I felt the hand of God on me

Made me a survivor and I'm out here buildin' more of 'em

I'm a survivor

You cannot go where I'm from

It's too late now boy don't try to run

I'mma hold it down 'cause I came from the slums

Oh

I'm a survivor

You cannot go where I'm from

It's too late now boy don't try to run

I'mma hold it down 'cause I came from the slums

Oh

I'm a survivor

You cannot go where I'm from

It's too late now boy don't try to run

I'mma hold it down 'cause I came from the slums

Oh

I'm a survivor

You cannot go where I'm from

It's too late now boy don't try to run

I'mma hold it down 'cause I came from the slums

Oh
