Survivor

I'm a survivor, yeah

Well, it's not about the industry
And it's not about the things that
I've been through like Nas and Jay-Z
See, I've 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 Dimebag stopped 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 box
I'm a survivor, and yeah, you know I won't stop
I'm a survivor, I got this game on lock
I'm a survivor, what you got, what you got
I'm a survivor, what you got, what you got
I'm a survivor, you don't want it, you don't want it
I'm a survivor, 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's some things I regret and some I don't
Some things I take back and some I won't
I went from style of the 90's to Dickies and shell 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 box
I'm a survivor, and yeah, you know I won't stop
I'm a survivor, I got this game on lock
I'm a survivor, what you got, what you got
I'm a survivor, what you got, what you got
I'm a survivor, you don't want it, you don't want it
I'm a survivor, you don't want it, you don't want it

First they love you, then they hate you
They sign you, then they rape you
Treat you like a sport, pump fake you, then they shake you
I don't want your pity 'cause I'm far from the norm
I can take what you give, I done 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, and now you know I won't stop

I'm surviving, I'm coming out of the box
I'm a survivor, I've been around the block
I'm a survivor, I'm coming out of the box
I'm a survivor, and yeah, you know I won't stop
I'm a survivor, I got this game on lock
I'm a survivor, what you got, what you got
I'm a survivor, what you got, what you got
I'm a survivor, you don't want it, you don't want it
