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?
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 thinkin'
Living too hard here dying?
It's easy
The concept of trying is not no the menu
When niggas 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 bitch
When you get money it's only your lawyers survive
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
Be grateful you woke up and got out of bed this mornin'
At least you alive
I get it the odds was never cut out in your favor
At least you was tryin'
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 leavin' 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
I'm living my story it's already written I gotta survive
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
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 tryin'
No funny no funny I just got to Dulles
My stomach is turnin' 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
Runnin' on empty I never did heal
Luggage too heavy I travel with pills
What do you do if your man on parol?
