Survivor

I'm a survivor, I've been around the block
 I'm a survivor, I've been around the block
 I'm survivor, yeah
 Well, it's not about the industry
 And it's not about the things
 That I been through like nozzin' Jay Z
 See I seen a lot of things on the road to destruction
 Addicted to this rap game standing up and busting
 This ain't a comeback, this ain't a second coming
 We took a real loss when John back stops strumming
 America's in trouble, the music is dying
 They said some things about me now the rap game is lying
 I'm a survivor, I've been around the block
 I'm a survivor, I'm coming out of the block
 I'm a survivor and yet you know I won't stop
 I'm a survivor, I can't escape the block
 I'm a survivor
 What you got? What you got?
 What you got? What you got?
 I'm a survivor, you don't want it
 You don't want it, you don't want it
 From sold out stages to seconds from my life
 To rolling with Madonna, to wrecking on my bike
 There are some things I regret and some I don't
 And some I don't
 I went from styles of the 90's to Dickies and short toes
 No matter what I'm wearing, I'm still in a hell hole
 Escaped suicide from that gun on my dresser
 I look into my daughter's eyes, that relieves the pressure
 I'm a survivor, I've been around the block
 I'm a survivor, I'm coming out of the block
 I'm a survivor and yet you know I won't stop
 I'm a survivor, I can't escape the block
 I'm a survivor
 What you got? What you got?
 What you got? What you got?
 I'm a survivor, you don't want it
 You don't want it, you don't want it
 First they love you then they hate
 Sign you then they rape you
 Treat you like a sport, pump
 Fake you then they shake you
 I don't want your 'cause I'm far from the norm
 I can't take what you give, I'd have made it through the storm
 I want the whole world to know me straight through my songs
 Baby, when I die, let the songs live on
 'Cause I'm surviving now, yeah, know I won't stop
 I'm surviving, I'm coming out of the block
 I'm a survivor, I've been around the block
 I'm a survivor, I'm coming out of the block
 I'm a survivor and yet you know I won't stop
 I'm a survivor, I can't escape the block
 I'm a survivor
 What you got? What you got?
 What you got? What you got?
 I'm a survivor, you don't want it
 You don't want it, you don't want it
