You smile in your face and you
talk behind your back
And when you hear the story,
it's never exact
Some say they're your friends,
but they really are not
Because they're only out to try
and get what you've got
Survival, survival
Only the strong can survive
It's called survival, survival
Only the strong can survive
It's called survival,
In order to stay alive
It's called survival, survival,

In jail they got a game
They call it survival
They run it down to you
On your first arrival
They tell you what you can
and what you cannot do
So if you ever go to jail
Watch out
It's called survival
Only the strong can survive
It's called survival
Only the strong can survive
It's called survival in or
der to stay alive
It's called survival, survival,

I went looking for a job
every day last week
But turned into a crazy game
of hide -and -seek
Because every place I seem
to look a job wasn't there
I might as well apply for food
stamps or welfare
It's called survival
If only the strong can survive
It's called survival
If only the strong can survive
It's called survival
In order to stay alive
It's called survival, survival,

Life hurts to me, your body is strong but your mind is like the devil,
your ideals are wrong
You hurt people's feelings an
d mess with their minds
Didn't have the nerve to call me
brother and wave the peace sign
The young and the old,
they all hate your sight
Because of people like you,
they're scared to walk in the night
It's called survival,
only the strong can survive
It's called survival
If only the strong can survive
It's called survival
In order to stay alive
It's called survival, survival
Survival, survival
The problems of the world today
Are bigger than life
You have recessions and depressions
Men are cheating on their wives
Babies born each morn
Which part of their body is gone
Because of some crazy drug
That their mothers was on
There's country fightin',
knockin' lights
Always puttin' each other down
Blacks and whites don't see a lot
That green is pink and brown
You got guns, so cut, so
Stressin' stripes
And lookin' out for number one
Is a way of life
It's called survival
In order to survive, it's called survival
In or der to survive, it's called survival
In order to survive, it's called survival
In order to survive,
to
You've got to lock all your windows,
chain up all your doors
To protect what's inside of
your houses and stores
Beware of the food, it might be no food
Cause there's someone trying to
poison the whole neighborhood
Today they found something
in somebody's door
They had killed ten people
and hurt four more
They can't even trust a
pill to make life easier
With their sudden death on
your grossest freezer
Survival, only the strong can survive,
it's called survival
Only the strong can survive,
it's called survival
In order to stay alive,
it's called survival
Survival, survival, survival
Not to lose your mind because life is hard
Yet you believe in everything but
God
No dirty woman, lots of money,
yeah, that's alright
But did you ever forget the
man with the mic?
Now get a hold of yourself, man
Think positive because that's
definitely the only way to live
Don't let your mind flow
like water from a cup
And don't you ever let me hear
you say that you're giving up
It's called survival
Only the strong can survive
It's called survival
Only the strong can survive
It's called survival
In order to stay alive
It's called survival, survival, survival
Remember,
a child was born with no state of mind
He was blind to the ways of mankind
God is smiling on you,
but he's frowning too
Because only
God knows what you'll go through
Ha!
Survival
Only the strong can survive,
that's called survival
And only the strong can survive,
that's called survival
In order to stay alive,
that's called survival
