Survival

I been waitin' on this yeah

All of this disorder, no addressin'

The crown is broken in pieces

But there's more in my possession

There's a whole lot in my possession

Who do you really love?

Well, that's sure to be in question

My mount rushmore is me with four different expressions

Who's givin' out this much return on investment?

After my run, man, how is that even a question?

After this summer, man, how is that even a---

I've had real philly niggas try to write my endin'

Takin' shots with the gold and talk about shots that we sendin'

I've had scuffles with bad boys that wasn't pretendin'

I've had too many nights to mention, that's just the beginnin'

I'm pretty sure we got a label, I'm still independent

I fell back a hundred times when I don't get the credit

Seen this movie a hundred times, I know where it's headed

Realize someone gotta die when no one'll dead it

Niggas gamblin' with they life for some content

That's the type of lottery that could get your top picked

I am a cream of the crop, nigga

You niggas pop mollies, my mollies pop niggas

House on both coasts, but I live on the charts

I'll tee with the stars and I swim with the sharks

And I see in the dark, wasn't this cold at the start

Think my soul has been marked, there's a hole in my heart

Yeah, I was about to---

Man, I thought about it

It's unsettlin' to talk about it

Free all of my niggas that they caught with it

Rip my niggas that they caught without it

This just a intro, let me not get ahead of myself

This is God's plan, young man, you said it yourself

Always got a ace up my sleeve for whatever was dealt

Daddy got suits like bernie mac, he dresses himself

I stopped askin' myself and I started feelin' myself

Now I gotta deal with all this drama and deal with myself

I ain't even have to cut the tie, it severed itself

This just the intro, let me not get ahead of myself
