Mase - Gotta Survive Lyrics




(feat. DJ Whoo Kid)

[Intro: {DJ Whoo Kid}]
I don't regret nothin'... that I've ever done.
At this point I don't owe nobody an explanation! {Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo}
{Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid! }

[Verse 1:]
Man they love you when you up! - Kick in you when you down
Look around - Vh1 man, where are they now?
Life is amusin'. - nobody like to see you cruisin'.
But everybody like to see you losin'. {NON STOP! }
So I stop despisin' on top of lies
I'm livin' - prophet side I'll be ostracized.
One day - I lost my Rhodium the day I hit the podium
Now I'm back on top, salty like sodium.
A gift to this world, man; rappin' with a ribbon.
Why do you look for a dead among the livin'?
Some thought I was crazy! Some thought I was missin'!
Some said I was laaazy! Some said I was different! {C'MON! }
I was so loaded - that everybody flowed it
But once I got the notice - then I got focused. {Whooooooo! }
And then I saw they motive, so everybody voted
So I did the way I wrote it and lived it the way I quote it. - C'mon!

[Chorus: Female singing]
Gotta survive in this life that's been given to me.
When it seems like the world keeps scratchin' on me.
When I'm down {G-UNIT RADIO! } I get by just keep it real,
Gotta surviiiiive! Gotta surviiiiive!

Gotta survive in this life thas been given to me {+CRUCUIFIED+... }
So I try and I try to be all I can be {+4 THE HOOD+! }
When it seems like the world keeps scratchin' on me,
Gotta surviiiiive! {Mase! } Gotta surviiiiive! {AND WHOO KID! }

[Verse 2:]
Now people on the block try to tell me what I'm not
Pull up in a bot now I'm all a sudden hot.
Now they wanna stop just to look at what I got
Thought they was my homie left me out to rot. {WINSLOW! }
So I had to make it on my own. - Take it on my own.
I wanted out the hood I had to 'scape it on my own!
Believe me now it's easy now cause everybody seen me now
And I'm on TV nooow. {Whoooooo! }
But it startd out with no budget
Then I took it round the world and the folks love it.
In the beginnin' man, my life was so rugged
But now I shine like a gold nugget, cause I made the most of it. {WHA'? }
I know how you feelin' man I was weary
Some days I used to sit there my eyes all teary.
Thinkin' to myself do anybody hear me now
I know! - You makin' a dolla's not a theory. - Come on!

[Chorus: Female singing]
Gotta survive in this life that's been given to me
When it seems like the world keeps scratchin' on me
When I'm down I get by just keep it real,
Gotta surviiiiive! Gotta surviiiiive! {CAN'T FORGET... }

Gotta survive {MERCY! } in this life thas been given to me
So I try and I try to be all I can be. {+10 YEARS+... }
When it seems like the world keeps scratchin' on me, {+OF HATE+! }
Gotta surviiiiive! Gotta surviiiiive! {Mase MURDA! }

[Verse 3:]
I've been laughed at talked about - ridiculed
But M. Betha is still not a bitter, dude.
And you know it's no coincident
That me and you is not so intimate.
I can't fake! I don't shake! I don't break!
I don't lose! I don't use! I don't bruise!
I never lack
And I'm never goin' back!
I'm nuthin' you ever saw tho, {Whooooooooooooooooooooooooo Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid}
I'm tellin' you I'm immortal.

[Chorus: Female singing]
Gotta survive in this life that's been given to me
When it seems {WORLD WIDE... } like the world keeps scratchin' on me
When I'm down I get by just keep it real, {JAPAN! }
Gotta surviiiiive! Gotta surviiiiive! {AUSTRALIA! }

Gotta survive in this life that's been given to me
So I try {EUROPE! } and I try to be all I can be. {LONDON! }
When it seems like the world keeps scratchin' on me,
Gotta surviiiiive! Gotta surviiiiive! {TONY... WHASSUP? >

[Bridge: Female singing]
Got to, gotta survive,
Keep your head - held hiiiiigh!
Got to, gotta surviiiiive,
Keep your head - to the skyyyyy! {CHINA! }
Got to, gotta survive,
We can make it if we tryyyyyyyy!
Got to, gotta surviiiiive! {Mase MURDA! }
Gotta surviiiiiive! {Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid! }
Gotta surviiiiiive!

[Outro: Chorus in the background]
Yeah...
You know there's nothin' in this world
That could seperate me!
From what I believe...
From what I achieve...
All of this is because of him!
And I'm tellin' you now...
As much as y'all don't wanna hear this.
I could do nothin' by myself.
It's all through him!
It's all through him!
So all around the world
You don't even know success...
Until you know him...
And him is Jesus! [echoes]
