Only The Strong Survive ft. Da Gift Lyrics

It was only a matter of time, you see, when I started lovin' myself and findin' myself

Like, man, ain't nobody gon' tell me shit

I don't give a fuck what nobody has to say

I just believe in myself, I stay down and I prayed up

Thank God, man, I made it this far

I was a soldier puttin' in work before I became a boss

I knew how to play my part, kept it real from the start

Seen the real from the frauds, so I'm trustin' the soul

Shit, some niggas changed when the money got involved

And I got jammed up, ain't no tellin' what's involved

So I'm aimin' for the moon, shit, I'm shootin' for the stars

You gotta feel my pain, cuz I do this from the heart

Remember the cold nights, I was sleepin' on the floor

So I worked my ass off, cuz I knew I wanted more

Shit, I knew I wanted all, shit, I just wanted the ball

Be the closest niggas next to you, prayin' on your damn fall

Shit, life is crazy, that's the reason I don't trust nobody

I keep my friends slim, just so I can see who's shady

It's kinda crazy, cuz lately, maybe they startin' to hate me

It's kinda crazy, cuz lately, maybe they startin' to hate me

Only strong survive they will not make it, Yeah

I'm beatin' on my chest, I'm on my Ape shit , Yeah

If karma's a bad bitch, I wanna taste it, yeah

Take a look in the mirror, I need to face it, Yeah

Can't forgot about my past there no erasing

On the road to happiness don't need for me To chase it yea

Born to win best believe we gonna make it

Life comes wit ups and down I'm hopin that You can take it yeah

Had to get it how I live, there's no escaping Yeah

Real recognize real, there ain't no fakin shit

So much blood in these streets, I cannot Take it yeah

Once a nigga life gone, there ain't no Replacing yeah

You know I did this alone, did this shit on my own

Now I'm provin' them wrong, see the shit and I'm on

Now they callin' my phone, they was hittin' all along

Shit, the weather was too bad, didn't survive the storm

Had to get it by any means, so I follow my dreams

Stayed out of them streets, stayed out of them beefs

Smooth criminal shit, but I wasn't a Billie Jean

I put in ' blood,swear' and tears, but who the fuck really care

So much shit, God the only man that I fear

That's why I be facin' my fears, like look, I'm standin' right here

Everybody got opinions now, stay the fuck out my ear

Man, I just do what I want, let me right my wrongs

Only the strong to survive, you know I ain't tellin' no lies

I be trustin' the soul now, handshake, it matchin' the smile

Shit, handshake, it matchin' the smile

So whenever you talkin' to me, just look me dead in my eyes, nigga

Only strong survive they will not make it, Yeah

I'm beatin' on my chest, I'm on my Ape shit , Yeah

If karma's a bad bitch, I wanna taste it, yeah

Take a look in the mirror, I need to face it, Yeah

Can't forgot about my past there no erasing

On the road to happiness don't need for me To chase it yea

Born to win best believe we gonna make it

Life comes wit ups and down I'm hopin that You can take it yeah

Had to get it how I live, there's no escaping Yeah

Real recognize real, there ain't no fakin shit

So much blood in these streets, I cannot Take it yeah

Once a nigga life gone, there ain't no Replacing yeah

Ooh, I put my blood, sweat, and tears in this

Hopin' you can feel this shit

Ooh, I put my blood, sweat, and tears in this

Hopin' you can feel this shit

Now I just feel like the time to get it, it's like it's now or never

See

See

Cause I done did everything like, it's like, what else left

Cause it's like, now is like the perfect time

That's why it's called Perfect Timing
