Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Ky-Mani Marley - Survival lyrics

Girl, I'll be there when the mornin' comes
'Cause these ends were made for survival
(Talk to 'em)
Girl, I will be there when the mornin' comes
'Cause these ends were made for survival

There's many levels to my hustle
The struggle won't take me under
They wonder how I survived it
Kill it and revive it witness a survivor
The mind is strictly the provider
The ambitions of a rider
It's too strong, I gotta make it
But, if makin' it mean I gotta fake it
I'd rather stay on my Kray shit
Basement, nigga
We keepin' it real around here
They tried to lock us out of the game
So now we're coming from 'round rear

Gotta hold my head up high while I
Got ten toes on the pavement
The survivors are so real with
One foot in the grave
We just signed a new deal
Plenty more money to make
I can eat whatever meal
Now I can get my bills paid
I still hold down the block
I still runnin' and duckin' cops Tryna slam
Me back down but that's not possible
I'm keepin' my eyes on the prize, man
That's how I'm focused
Pedal to the metal, in my own lane, wide open

Girl, I'll be there when the mornin' comes
(Huh)
'Cause these ends were made for survival
(Talk to 'em)
Girl, I will be there when the mornin' comes
'Cause these ends were made for survival

I won't die, I won't die
I promise I won't die, tonight (yeah)
I won't die, I won't die
Girl, I promise I won't die, tonight (yeah)

Hey, look, I do this for the art of rap
Serious like a heart attack
Focus on the paper I stack 'cause
I need a larger pack
Death, see, I can conjure that
Here to bring the honor back
Get respect so kids in the ghetto
Can one day follow that
I'm runnin' a marathon
Niggas is out here racin' me
Ain't no erasin' me, ain't no disgracin' me
Ain't no replacin' me, I do this for tomorrow
But, if I die tonight, I die a martyr

It's Lil Bizzy, he be still in the zone
When niggas ask me what I'm doin'
I proceed to make it known
You don't have to be the coolest
It don't mean you ain't a Bone
I'ma have to be the truest, I'ma leader
Leave the throne nobody fuckin' with nigga
I be ready and then I be gone (Gone)
And after I'm done
They be headed for warfare
Anywhere that it's on
Have no motherfuckin' fear and I
Put that on the Lord
I'ma pull out one of my swords
I don't give nobody none of my tears
I live in war

(Girl, I'll be there when the morning comes)
'Cause these ends were made for survival

Give 'em an inch, they want a mile
Show 'em love, they are cowards
That's why me
I'm scopin' like a thousand niggas
Pop now, for tomorrow niggas
Rockabye ain't never say never, gas out
That's on my mental, it's simple
When hustle continue, continue
If you not playin' the real games
Then step out the way
'Cause 'round here is real things
That's all day
'Cause what I been through, I been through
In my mind, it's no equal
Strategize, minimize
Divide the fake from your people

I won't die, I won't die
Promise I won't die, tonight
