Soul Survivor Intro
From the basics and warm, weather placesDedicated to the brothers that never made itCut short, they prime read life between the linesPhotographed by rhymes yo it's hard timesAll across the nation cold points of frustrationCreated hot joints of illustrationConcentrate while stakes are high falling victim to the lieKeep a sharp eye there's a steady supply of hate in the airTo them cats who stare the ice grill with the glareBut everything is fair in the city the sheisty the shifteeI'n the epitomee of a raw deal now carry a sword and shieldAnd walk with a forcefield for real I overcame the oddsAnd got the hell out of dodge soul survivor of the warAnd master in chargeEveryday I see the same ol' thingsBut my true and real live nigga keep on risinAnd it's a shame but business never changesAnd my crew knows what to do they're soul survivingAnd if I die...I watched the whole world from the side of my eyeI seen a lot of cats die and evil men lieOn the road to riches in pursuit of my wishesIt's a close call between friends and snitchesOn the low the game brought moments of painSongtexteStrong emotions plus the hardships of fameNo need to live forever just keep some type of cheddarA buttersoft leather to rock in cold weatherTimes are mad real official like the sealTry to understand what I feelMy word to the wise it's where ya heart liesKeep your biz straight far from family tiesI'm the illest soldier that represents the cultureDignified bywords like fresh, fly and ultraChampion heroics and passionate poetsFlashback to the future let it self focusEveryday I see the same ol' thingsBut beautiful black sisters keep risinAnd it's a shame but business never changesAnd my crew knows what to do they're soul survivingAnd if I die...Still in basement for four years arrangingLyrics and beats my first lote engagementIt's outstanding the boy wonder's back in the worldBy popular demanding on top commandingMy own destiny go ahead try to test meI been living right so expect no less gGot positive reaction and affirmative actionThe soul survivor guaranteed satisfactionEveryday I see the same ol' thingsBut my true and real live people keep on risinAnd it's a shame but business never changesAnd my crew knows what to do they're soul survivingAnd if I die...And if I die before I wake I pray go God my soul to takeMy crew knows what to do they're soul survivingAnd if I die before I wake I pray to God my soul to takeMy crew knows what to do they're soul surviving Aus Songtexte Mania
