Survive Lyrics – Wale, Ty Dolla $ign, James Chul Rim, Nino Paid

[Intro]
I mean what’s gon’ be first thing you do when you, uh
When you catch your big break and you blow up, man?
First thing I’ma do
I’ma be on the front line, you hear me?

[Verse 1: Wale]
Uh, I gave ’em the story, they missed the whole plot
Led in the water, but still they be high
Dreaded, I’m free, I can’t know the time
‘Cause like every night I be mourning a lot
Survivor’s remorse, that’s all I be thinking
Living too hard, here dying? It’s easy
The concept of trying is not no the menu
When n!ggas you eat with just die every week
I gotta friend I knew as a teen
Had all the J’s, had all the tings
Had a few A’s, driving a C
But life is a B ’cause now we got fiends
Survivor’s remorse, the poster boy of it
Pose this question, who ‘posed to be loyal?
Nobody your friend, your family, your b!tch
When you get money, it’s only your lawyers, survive

[Chorus: Ty Dolla $ign]
See through my lens, it get shady (Shady)
Can’t turn my pain into patience, it’s time
Showing no grace, but I’m grateful (Grateful)
We just dip and to survive

[Verse 2: Nino Paid]
Be grateful, you woke up and got out of bed this morning, at least you alive
I get it the odds was never cut out in your favor, at least you was trying
I’m physically tired, got aspirations of the future inside of my mind
Survivor’s remorse, I think of the people I left and I’m leaving behind, I gotta survive
For all of my homies that ain’t make it this far, I gotta survive
A couple of reasons you are who you are, you gotta survive

Would you rather live with regret ’cause you dead, you gotta decide
Would you rather live with regret ’cause you dead, you gotta decide
I’m living my story, it’s already written, I gotta survive

[Chorus: Ty Dolla $ign]
See through my lens, it get shady (Shady)
Can’t turn my pain into patience, it’s time
Showing no grace, but I’m grateful (Grateful)
We just dip and to survive

[Bridge: Ty Dolla $ign]
How many lights that ain’t saved?
Been ’round the good times, I waved a goodbye
Sometimes it’s hard to be faithful (It’s hard to be faithful)
I can’t say I ain’t been trying

[Verse 3: Wale]
No funny, no funny, I just got to Dulles
My stomach is turning, I go to Glenarden
I’m covered by flowers, I made my third album
I buried my brother, y’all don’t know the pain
Running on empty, I never did heal
Luggage too heavy, I travel with pills
What do you do if your man on parol?
And he go where you go, but he don’t know how to chill
Survivor’s remorse, all of the youngings be dying to young
All of these problems is foreign to y’all
Y’all ain’t never paid for a child in a hearse for a bullet that missed every body, but her
That’s why I be sleeping right after a Perc’
If I get pulled over, just send me it, man
I did what I did ’cause I die if I don’t, you know how this s*it go, it’s survival, of course
Wh— got hit? I was crying for months
[** told me, “Moe, you gotta keep going”
“We know who did and we lining ’em up”
Make ’em proud in this jawn and survive

[Outro: Wale & Ty Dolla $ign]
Survive with me, dog
When everything will be a lie
Survive
(See through my lens, it get shady)
(Showing no grace, but I’m grateful)
(We just dip and to survive)
