Lyrics
Help me Help me help me Hold me Help me
Survival well
Survival of the fittist
Survival
I a got get with it
Cause it ain't no joke (ain't no joke)
When a man is broke
Busted
Walkin around broke
And it ain't no jive (ain't no jive)
Trying to stay alive (alive)
Livin from day to day livin
Rent man says that the rent is due
My little baby needs a new pair of shoes
I'm just about to loose my mind
One step away from the bread line
Well I'm triina to do the very best I can
Tryin a to make on through
I don't know which way to turn
I don't know what to do do do
Survival oh oh oh oh
Survival of the fittist
Survival
I a well I gotta get withit
Cause it anin't no joke (ain't no joke)
When a man is broke
Busted
Walking around broke
And it ain't no jive (ain't no jive)
Tryin ta stay alive (alive)
Livin from day to day livin
Pockets are bare
I'm down to my last penny
Lookin for folk
I caint find any
First law of nature is
Preservation of man
Look like I'll have to do
Anythin I can
Hussle bussel day in day out
Can't even get a good night sleep
I don't know how in the world
We goin make these ends meet
Survival I I I
Survival of the fittist
Survival I a
I gotta get withit
Cause it anin't no joke (ain't no joke)
When a man is broke
Walkin around with his hands in his pockets broke
Busted
And it ain't no jive (ain't no jive)
Tryin to stay alive (alive)
Livin from day to day livin
Hussle bussel hang witit
Got ta get it
HELP ME HELP HELP ME HELP ME HELP ME
Ooooooh Survival
Survival of the fittist
WELL WELL WELL
Survival of the fittist
Survival
I a well I gotta get withit
Survival
WELL WELL WELL
Survival of the fittist
Survival
Won't ya wont ya
I gotta get withit
Survuval won't I wonder does any body care
Wonder
I'll get on the welfare
Help me help me help
