Erik Alcock - Survival lyrics

[Hook: Liz Rodrigues] This is survival of the fittest This is do or die This is the winner takes it all So take it all, a-all, a-all, a-all [Verse 1: Eminem] Wasn't ready to be no millionaire, I was ill-prepared I was prepared to be ill though, the sk** was there From the beginning, it wasn't 'bout the ends It was 'bout busting raps And standing for something; f**in' acronym Cut the f**ing act like you're happy, I'm f**in' back again With another anthem, why stop when it doesn't have to end? It ain't over 'til I say it's over – enough when I say enough Throw me to them wolves and close the gate up I'm afraid of what'll happen to them wolves, when the thought Of being thrown into an alligator pit, I salivate at it, wait is up Hands up like it's 12 noon Nah, homie, hold them b**hes straighter up Wave 'em 'til you dislocate a rotator cuff, came up rough Came to ruffle feathers, nah, egos, I ain't deflate enough Last chance to make this whole stadium erupt, ‘cause… [Hook: Liz Rodrigues] This is survival of the fittest This is do or die This is the winner takes it all So take it all, a-all, a-all, a-all [Verse 2: Eminem] I can see the finish line with each line that I finish I'm so close to my goals I can almost pole vault over the goal post And if I don't got enough in the tank Maybe I can just siphon enough To fill up this last can Man, will I survive in this climate or what? They said I was washed up, and got a blood bath I'm not a rapper, I'm an adapter – I can adjust Plus, I can just walk up to a mic and just bust So, floor's open if you'd like to discuss Top 5 in this mothaf**a, and if I don't make the cut, what? Like I give a f** But I light this b**h up like I'm driving a truck Through the side of a pump, 0 to 60, hop in and gun it Like G-Unit without the hyphen, I'm hyping 'em up And if there should ever come a time where my life's in a rut And I look like I might just give up, eh, might've mistook Me for bowing out I ain't taking a bow I'm stabbing myself with a f**ing knife in the gut While I'm wiping my bu*t ‘Cause I just sh**ted on the mic and I like getting cut I get excited at the sight of my blood You're in a fight with a nut ‘Cause I'ma fight 'til I die or win, biting the dust It'll just make me angrier; wait, let me remind you of what Got me this far, picture me quitting Now draw a circle around it and put a line through it, s*ut! It's survival of what? [Hook: Liz Rodrigues] This is survival of the fittest This is do or die This is the winner takes it all So take it all, a-all, a-all, a-all [Verse 3: Eminem] So get your ideas, stack your ammo But don't come unless you come to battle Now mount up, jump in the saddle This is it – it's what you eat, sleep, piss and sh** Live, breathe, your whole existence just consists of this Refuse to quit, fuse is lit, can't defuse the wick If I don't do this music sh**, I'll lose my sh** Ain't got sh** to lose, it's the moment of truth It's all I know how to do As soon as I get thrown in a booth, I spit But my respect is overdue, I'm showing you the flow no one do ‘Cause I don't own no diploma for school, I quit So there's nothing for me to fall back on, I know no other trade So you better trade your f**ing mics in for some tool-box-es ‘Cause you'll never take my pride from me It'll have to be pried from me So pull out your pliers and your screwdrivers But I want you to doubt me, I don't want you to buh-lieve ‘Cause this is something that I must use to succeed And if you don't like me, then f** you! Self-esteem must be f**ing shooting through-the-roof ‘Cause trust me My skin is too thick and bullet proof to touch me I can see why the f** I disgust you I must be allergic to failure, ‘cause everytime I come close to it I just sneeze, but I just go at you then a-chieve! [Hook: Liz Rodrigues] This is survival of the fittest This is do or die This is the winner takes it all So take it all, a-all, a-all, a-all
