Yeah! Still a rider!
A sole survivor!
Your back is up against the wall and is nowhere to turn
You can feel the heat from the fire burn
There's nowhere to run and you're down to the wire
In my block I'm still a rider, still a rider
Still a survivor, a sole survivor!
In my block just being a rider, still a rider
And that's all I'll ever gonna be
The city lights singing, oh, I got that thing on me!
Baby in case they bang on me try to
Think it down in history, make it
Rider, even though we're struggling
Trying to find ways to
Funny how people love it when
If we keep up on scrambling
We will end up
Survivor, that's what I'll always be!
I had to move
But believe nigger I'm still… Free
I throw that
I close that
So what are you doing?
Your back is up against the wall and is nowhere to turn
You can feel the heat from the fire burn
There's nowhere to run and you're down to the wire
In my block I'm still a rider, still a rider
Still a survivor, a sole survivor!
In my block just being a rider, still a rider
Just like my niggers, I really never made it home
No matter what keeps on going, we'll find a way to get upon it
Gotta put that muscle on, stand on
I'm a survivor! Like anybody in the hood
Thought you could
My nigger was good
Ripping like Robin Hood
I'm normally hitting another hood
Get the rest and like the modern Robin Hood
Survivor, that's what I'll always be!
I had to move
But believe nigger I'm still… Free
I throw that
I close that
So what are you doing?
Your back is up against the wall and is nowhere to turn
You can feel the heat from the fire burn
There's nowhere to run and you're down to the wire
In my block I'm still a rider, still a rider
Still a survivor, a sole survivor!
In my block just being a rider, still a rider
Keep on riding and what you do to keep yourself
Keep on riding and what you do to keep
Oh, oh, oh
Just keep on surviving!
Oh, oh, oh
Keep on providing!
Come on, let me hear you sing it!
Oh, oh, oh
Your back is up against the wall and is nowhere to turn
You can feel the heat from the fire burn
There's nowhere to run and you're down to the wire
In my block I'm still a rider, still a rider
Still a survivor, a sole survivor!
In my block just being a rider, still a rider
