Survivor
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Aye, (yeah!)
Anyway, (ohh!)
Gangster for life, (Akon!)
Pray for my enemies don't pray for me, (yeah!)
We da best, (ganster for life)
Oh the street is like a fire, (like a fire)
Show no sympathy, (oh no)
I'll be way up on the mountain, (on the mountain)
When they come for me, (yeah yeah)
Cause I'm a survivor, survivor
I'm a survivor, oh ohh
Cause I'm a survivor, survivor
I'm a survivor, oh ohh
When my enemies surround me
Nothing me no fear
Cause them know which part to find me
I am like a flare
Mama know them want to kill me
Tell me how them ago see me
Anuh now them want to kill me
Who cares
As God is my provider
Everyday I get wiser
I live by the sword
Seems there is no sympathy
Or no mercy for the weak
Won't surrender, no retreat
I'll make you remember me
And for those who want to kill me
Know exactly where to find me
Down in the concrete jungle
If I don't kill you first
Then please don't tempt me
A hundred miles and running
Never back down on an outlaw coming
Artillery looks stunning
M-16 torque gunning
Cause I'm a survivor, survivor
I'm a survivor, oh oh
Cause I'm a survivor, survivor
I'm a survivor, oh oh
I'm so high up on the mountain
Can't find my way back down
Watch me flow just like a fountain
Solid as a ground
Once you go up
Then you nuh fi come down
Revolution time, revolution sound
We da best
A the talk of the town
Forget the rest
A the talk of the town
All who want to kill me
Tell them me care zero
Cause I'm a champion
I'm a hero
Cause I'm a survivor, survivor
I'm a survivor, oh oh
Cause I'm a survivor, survivor
I'm a survivor, oh oh
