Lyrics
First thing in the morning, like way too early
They wanna take over
They don’t wanna see us here no more
They say make we pack all of our things in 24 hours or I’m bleeding you and your family
1004 people or more,
This is a true tale from back when I was young
See, you can really love where you’re from
But at the same time, fit to hate on what it’s done
It’s true we all love to show love,
and yeah, we love to call ourselves one,
But even when I was young,
I knew never to rely on the G,
The goddamned gatekeepers that use God
To feed on the weakest people who are strong
In what they believe in
So they just judge,
Judge people aimlessly with no love
2004 was the year I grew up
Them go slap you silly on God
The force pulled up,
So it’s easy to see another brother man
get knocked down
African AK-47, shakabula way, yeah
But nobody wanna run away
Omo, they slapped somebody on the face
It was looking dark outside
Mama scared for our lives
But I can never, ever run away
No, I could never, ever run away
Lord, automatic self-reflection
When I call on you, oh my Lord
Mmm
Survival
Whoa, whoa
Survival
Whoa, whoa
Survival
