Gotta Survive Lyrics

Artist: Mase
Album: Welcome Back

[Ma$e talking]
I dont regret nothin that ive ever done
at this point i dont owe nobody an explanation

[Ma$e]
Man they love you when you up
kick you when you down
look around vh1 man where arr they now
life is amusin nobody like to see you cruisn
but evrybody like to see you losin
so i stop despisn on top a lies
im livin prophet side i'll be ostracized
one day i lost my rodeydum the day i hit the podium
now im back on top
salty like sodium
a gift to this world man
rappn with a ribbon
whyy do you look for a dead among the livin
some thought i was crazai
some thought i was bytchn
some said i was lazy
some said i was diffrent
i was so loaded
that evrybody flowd it but once i got to notice
then i got focusd
and then i saw they motive so everybody voted
so i did the way i wrote it and lived it the way i quote it
cmon

[Chorus]
Gotta Survive in this life thats been given to me
when it seems like the world keeps scratchin on me
when im down i get by just keep it real,
Gotta survive, Gotta survive,
Gotta survive in this life thas been givn to me
so i try and i try to be all i can be
when it seems like the world keeps scratchin on me,
Gotta survive, Gotta survive

[Ma$e]
Now the block tried to tell me what im not
pull up in a bot now im all-uh sudden hot
now they wanna stop just to look at what i got
thought they was my homie left me out to rot
so i had to make it on my own
take it on my own
i wanted out the hood i had to 'scape it on my own
blieve me now its easy now cuz evrybody seen me now
and im on tv now
but it startd out with no budget
then i took it round the world and the folks love it
in the beginin mangs my life was so rugged
but now i shine like a gold nugget cuz i made the most of it
i know how u feelin man i was weary
some days i used to sit there my eyes all teary
thinkin to myself do anybody hear me now i know,
u makin a dolluhz not a theory
cmon

[Chorus]
Gotta Survive in this life thats been given to me
when it seems like the world keeps scratchin on me
when im down i get by just keep it real,
Gotta survive, Gotta survive,
Gotta survive in this life thas been givn to me
so i try and i try to be all i can be
when it seems like the world keeps scratchin on me,
Gotta survive, Gotta survive

[Ma$e]
Ive been laughd at
talked about
ridiculed
but m dot bethay is style not a bitter dude
and you know its no coincident
that me and you is not so intimate
i cant fake
i dont shake
i dont break
i dont lose i dont use i dont bruise
i never lack and im never goin back
im nuthin you ever saw tho
im tellin you im immortal

[Chorus]
Gotta Survive in this life thats been given to me
when it seems like the world keeps scratchin on me
when im down i get by just keep it real,
Gotta survive, Gotta survive,
Gotta survive in this life thas been givn to me
so i try and i try to be all i can be
when it seems like the world keeps scratchin on me,
Gotta survive, Gotta survive

Got-tuh Got-tuh survive,
keep ur head held high
Got-tuh Got-tuh survive,
keep ur head tuh the sky,
Got-tuh Got-tuh survive,
we can make it if we try,
Got-tuh Got-tuh survive,
gotta survive
gotta survive

[Ma$e talkn w/ chorus in bckgrnd rpeatin twice]
Yeh

from what i believe
from what i've achievd

and im tellin you now as much as yall dont wanna hear dis
i could do nuthin by myself
its all through him its all through him
so all around the world
you dont even know sucess
until you know him
and him is jesus
