Survive

Been fighting since the day I was six
Bumped and blows and falls, pipe bricks and sticks
Crying over things I will never own
Like Sunday suits and a decent home

Fight to survive and I won't give up
Fight to survive, gotta keep on pushin'
Gotta keep on pushin', gotta keep on pushin'

Some people talk about hard times they've had
For me they weren't just hard, they were downright bad
I'm not asking for a hand, not begging for help
Just let me live my life and I'll help myself

Fight to survive and I won't give up
Fight to survive, gotta keep on pushin'
Gotta keep on pushin', gotta keep on pushin'

Never made it big, never thought I would
But I earned respect wherever I stood
Knock on wood, always did my own thing
Always lived my life with one thing in mind
If you ever made it, gotta keep on trying
Never compromise, always did my own thing

Fight to survive and I won't give up
Fight to survive, gotta keep on pushin'
Gotta keep on pushin', gotta keep on pushin'

You've got to keep on moving up and up
Always keep on pushin'
Reach up to the sky, chances pass you by
Can't ever stop wishin'

Fight to survive and I won't give up
Fight to survive, gotta keep on pushin'
Gotta keep on pushin', gotta keep on pushin'

Gotta keep on pushin', gotta keep on pushin'
Gotta keep on pushin', gotta keep on pushin'
Gotta keep on pushin', gotta keep on pushin'
Gotta keep on pushin', gotta keep on pushin'
Gotta keep on pushin', gotta keep on pushin'
Gotta keep on pushin', gotta keep on pushin'
Gotta keep on pushin', gotta keep on pushin'
Gotta keep on pushin', gotta keep on pushin'
