Survival lyrics - Bone Thugs-N-Harmony (feat. Ky-Mani Marley)

 Girl, I'll be there when the morning comes

'Cause these hands were made for survival (Talk to 'em)

Girl, I will be there when the morning comes (Legal)

'Cause these hands 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 then revive it

Witness a survivor, the man is strictly the provider, the Ambitionz of a Ridah

It's too strong, I gotta make it

But if makin' it mean I gotta fake it, I'd rather stay on my cray shit

Basement, nigga we keeping 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, only got ten toes on the pavement

The survival's oh 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

Still hold down the block, still runnin' and duckin' cops

Tryna slam me back down but that's not possible

I'm keeping my eyes on the prize man, that's how I'm focus

Pedal to the medal and my own lane wide open

Girl, I'll be there when the morning comes

'Cause these hands were made for survival (Talk to 'em)

Girl, I will be there when the morning comes (Legal)

'Cause these hands were made for survival

I won't die, I won't die

I promise I won't die tonight (Not tonight baby, not tonight, not tonight, not tonight)

I won't die, I won't die

Girl, I promise I won't die tonight (Not tonight, not tonight, not tonight)

Yeah

Girl, tonight

Hey look, I do this for the all of the rap, serious like a heart attack

Focus on the paper I stack 'cause I need a larger pack

Death, see I can't conjure that, here to bring the honour back

Get respect so kids in the ghetto can one day follow that

I'm runnin' a marathon, niggas is out here racing me

Ain't no erasing me, ain't no disgracing me

Ain't no replacing me, I do this for tomorrow

But if I die tonight, I die a martyr

Yes here Bizzy be still in the zone

When niggas ask me what I'm doing, 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, homily to leave the throne

Nobody fuckin' with me, got be ready and then I be gone

And after I'm done, they gotta purport fear, baby we're debutant

Have no motherfucking 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 and work

Girl, I'll be there when the morning comes (When the morning comes)

'Cause these hands were made for survival

Give 'em an inch, they want a mile

Show 'em love, they play the cowards

That's for me, I was scoping like a thousand niggas

Pump now so tomorrow niggas

Rock-a-bye B's, never say never, gas out

That's on my mental, it's simple, we hustle, continue, continue

If you not playin' the real games, step out the way

'Cause 'round here, it's real thangs, that's all day

'Cause what I've been through, I've been through, in my mind, it's no equal

Strategise 'em, I'ma have to ride and take from you people, get equal

I won't die, I won't die (Won't die)

Promise I won't die tonight

(Won't die tonight, not tonight, not tonight, not tonight)
