2008, ambition of a slave
From broken promises to making ends meet
For the days, neglected by these bottles
Taking shots to face my rivals. Survival of the fittest
Gotta keep my family settle
We play for keeps, we pray for peace
So let the circle repeat, I want the best for them
I hope they want the best for me, Cuz blood is thicker
Than water hoping we last forever, and ask the Lord
For closure to send his Angels to guide us
We pray for hope, united us as we float
I open up my heart if you knock and it'll be yours
Deposit my soul, sacrifice for my folks
And dreams do come true, if you never let go
(hook)
Surviving on my own
I'm surviving on my own (x3)
Surviving on my own, when times
Ain't easy; I won't let go
Until I make it, I won't let go
Until I make it, I won't let go
Until I make it. (x2)
(Verse 2)
Times fly while we talk about the future like
Fantasizing of living in the lavish life
No stress, no regrets, we just living right
Ambitious lil n**ga tryna get this cash
I want it all, all for my family dawg
Came a long way from being unemployed
From refugees, to the land of free, we just want it all
No stopping, no remorse. Show these n***as flaws
Dedication of a go getter, it's mine time to shine
I gotta paint the picture clearer, So they could see
From mine perspective, in the rear view mirror
Back in the days, when I was living in the reign of Terror
