Survive (Explicit) - Mistah F.A.B./Kendrick Lamar/Crooked I/Kobe Honeycutt

Life in the city life in the city

Oakland California complicated for ya

But we survive

Strongest survive

Life life in the city

And nia's tryna survive

Going you don't

Only the strongest survive

The business business

You ever been a victim of being a prisoner inside

Your own mind

The bright lights of the street lights

Will make you go blind

Handicap your senses you was

Just an apprentice of watching nias jump fences

Now you in the Olympics and

Your hurdle was high enough to clear

T22he tallest of clothes lines

Talented when they closing in on your behind

Life of a young delinquent even stole him a Lincoln

At fifteen middle fingers walked out the precinct

I mean the cycle just continue

The vital information and fine print on the menu

So you'lla never read it even if a nia lend you

Money out my own pocket to make it right

You'll still attend to

Be on them corners with stop signs and a nine

'Cause nine times out of ten MAC 11's cry

And twelve died yesterday and if anyone divides

The six carried you eventually lose they lives

True story

Night falls anything can happen

We just pray we make it out alive

We all wanna make it to the top one day

Success is a street only going one way

But we all wanna make it

Just try your best to survive

You all wanna see a dead body

Well follow me across the train tracks

Where angry and insane Blacks

They slang crack

Candles burn where they were slain at

And bottles get poured where they would hang at

Close I give you truth in this essence

Dead homies added to swears

When truth is in question

Like Man I think he lying

Or he put that on someone

If I known you ten years

Got the right to say we cousins

I'm from the city of broken homes and often

I was home alone

And momma started smoking

'Cause daddy was scared to smoke alone

Section 8 policies Top Ramen and sunflower seeds

June got kill't 'cause he ain't wanna lose his Wallaby's

Constant atrocities no one is safe

There's no religion that can save

You say goodbye to your faith

Whether you Muslim or a Christian Baptist Jewish

Or Adventist Atheist or non religious

Put survival on your wishlist

'Cause

Night falls anything can happen

We just pray we make it out alive

We all wanna make it to the top one day

Success is a street only going one way

But we all wanna make it

Just try your best to survive

You walked in the apartment and saw your father on the carpet

With a belt wrapped around his arm

And a scarf under his armpit

And a needle shoved in his bicep

Earlier this morning you warned him

His addict habits are something you couldn't digest

You cry saying I just

Don't wanna see you die

Now you tryna dissect the fact that

He hasn't opened his eyes yet

You collapsed on his body

And you started thinking

I could perform CPR jump start his heart

If it's beating

But his pulse started to weaken

His cardio region depleting

As you given him part of your breathing

He dead and gone and you had a bad feeling

When you was heading home

Now it's etched in stone you've been left alone

So you grabbed his chrome gun handle

All pearl aw nah girl

Put it to your head thinking fk

Everybody like a call girl in a small world

Then pulled back but it didn't clap

Night falls anything can happen

We just pray we make it out alive

We all wanna make it to the top one day

Success is a street only going one way

But we all wanna make it

Just try your best to survive
