Eminem - Survival Lyrics
[Hook: Liz Rodrigues]This is survival of the fittestThis is do or dieThis is the winner takes it allSo take it all[Verse 1: Eminem]Wasn't ready to being a millionaire, I was ill-preparedI was prepared to be ill though, the skill was thereFrom the beginning, it wasn't 'bout the endsIt was 'bout bustin' raps and standin' for somethin'***** an acronymCut the *****in' act like you're happy, I'm *****in' back againWith 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 enoughThrow me to them wolves and close the gate upI'm afraid of what'll happen to them wolvesWhen the thought of being thrown into an alligator pit, I salivated itWeight is up, hands up like it's 12 noonNah, homie, hold them *****es straight upUp wave'em 'til you dislocate a rotator cuffCame up rough, came to ruffle feathersNah, egos, I ain't deflate enoughLast chance to make this whole stadium erupt[Hook: Liz Rodrigues][Verse 2: Eminem]I can see the finish line with each line that I finishI'm so close to my goals I can almost pole vault over the goal postAnd if I don't got enough in the tank maybe I can just siphon enoughTo fill up this last can, man will I survive in this climate or what?They said I was washed up, and got a blood bathI'm not a rapper, I'm an adapterI can adjust, plus I can just walk up to a mic and just bustSo floor's open if you'd like to discussTop 5 in this mother*****er and if I don't make the cutWhat, like I give a *****I'mma light this ***** up like I'm driving a truckTo the side of a pump0 to 60 hop in and gun itLike G-Unit without the hyphen, I'm hypin' 'em upAnd if there should ever come a time where my life's in a rutAnd I look like I might just give up, eh you might've mistookMe for bowing out I ain't taking a bowI'm stabbing myself with a *****ing knife in the gutWhile I'm wiping my butt !Cause I just shitted on the mic, and like getting cutI get excited at the sight of my blood, you're in a fight with a nutCause I'mma fight 'til I die or winBiting the dust it'll just make me angrierWait, let me remind you of what...got me this farPicture me quitting, now draw a circle around it and put a line through it, slutIt's survival of what?[Hook: Liz Rodrigues][Verse 3: Eminem]So get your ideas, stack your ammoBut don't come unless you come to battle, I'm mad now jump in the saddleThis is it, it's what you eat, sleep, piss and shitLift, breathe, your whole existence just consists of thisRefuse to quit, fuse is lit, can't diffuse the wickI don't do this music shit I lose my shitAin't got shit to lose, it's the moment of truthIt's all I know how to doAs soon as I get thrown in the booth, I spitBut my respect is overdueI'm showin' you the flow no one doCause I don't own no diploma for school, I quit!So there's nothing for me to fall back on, I know no other tradesSo you'd better trade your *****in' mics in for some tool-box-esCause you'll never take my pride from meItll have to be pried from meSo pull out your pliers and your screwdri-versBut I want you to doubt me, I don't want you to buh-lieveCause this is something that I must use to suc-ceedAnd if you don't like me then ***** you!Self es-teem must be *****in' shooting through-the-roofCause trust meMy skin is too thick and bul-let proof to touch meI can see why the ***** I disgust youI must be a-llergic to failure cause everytime I come close to it I just sneezeI just go atchoo then achieve![Hook: Liz Rodrigues]
