Gotta Survive Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]I do[Bb]n't regret nothing
that I have ever [Am]done
At this point I don't owe nobody
[Bb]an explanation
[Am]

[Verse 2]
[Am]Man, they love you when you [Bb]up
Kick you when you down
Look [F]around, [Bb]VH1 man,
[Am]where are they down
Life is amusing,
[Bb]nobody like to see you cruising
But everybody like [Am]to see you losing
So I stop [Bb]despise, on top of lies
And if it prophesized I'll be [Am]ostracized
One day, I lost [Bb]my rodium on the
day I hit the podium
Now I'm back on top and [Am]salty like sodium
A gift to this world man,
[F]wrap me with a ribbon
[Bb]Why [F]do you look for a
[Am]dead among the living
Some thought I was [F]crazy,
[Bb]some thought I was dissing
[F]Some said I was lazy,
[Am]some said I was different
I was so [Bb]loaded, that everybody [F]floated
But once I got the notice
then [Am]I got focused
And then I saw they motive,
[Bb]so everybo[F]dy rode it
[Bb]So I d[F]id the way wrote it and live i[Am]t
the way I quote it (come On)

[Verse 3]
Gotta survive in [Bb]this life that's
being given to me
When it seems that the [Am]world
keeps scratchin' on me
When I'm down at [Bb]the back,
just keep it real
Gotta survive, [Am]gotta survive
Gotta Survive in [Bb]this life
that's being given to me
So I try [Am]and I try to be all I can be
When it seems that the [Bb]world
keeps scratchin' on me
Gotta survive, [Am]gotta survive

[Verse 4]
[Am]Hold up, trying to tell me [Bb]what I'm not
Pull up in the 'Bach,
[F]not I'm [Bb]all of the sudden [Am]hot
Now they want to stop just to
look at [Bb]what I got
Thought they want my home [Bbm]man,
[F]left me [Bb]out to r[Am]ot
[F]So I [Am]had to make it on my own,
[Bb]take it on my own
I wanted out the hood I had to
[Am]'s cape it on my own
Believe me now, it's [Bb]easy now
'Cause everybody see [F]me [Bb]now
and [G]I'm on [Am]TV now
But it started out with low [Bb]budget
Then I took it [F]around the
world the folks love it
[Am]In the beginning man,
my life it was so [Bb]rugged
But now I shine like a gold [F]nugget,
cause I [Am]made the most of it
I know how you [F]feeling man,
[Bb]I was weary
Some [F]days I used to sit there,
my [Am]eyes all teary
Thinking to myself, [Bb]do anybody hear me
Now I [F]know, you making it [Am]out is
not a theory (come on)

[Verse 5]
Gotta survive in [Bb]this life that's
being given to me
When it seems that the [Am]world
keeps scratchin' on me
When I'm down at [Bb]the back,
just keep it real
Gotta [Am]survive, gotta survive
Gotta Survive in [Bb]this life
that's being given to me
So I try and I [Am]try to be all I can be
When it seems that [Bb]the world
keeps scratchin' on me
Gotta survive, [Am]gotta survive

[Verse 6]
I've [Am]been laughed at,
talked [Bb]about, ridiculed
But I got a Bentley and
[Am]I'm still not a bitter dude
And you know it's [Bb]not coincidence,
that me and you is not so [Am]intimate
I can't fake, I [Bb]don't shake, I don't break
I don't lose, I [Am]don't use, I don't groove
I never lacked [Bb]and I'm never going back
I'm nothing you ever sawd of
I'm [Am]telling you that I'm immortal

[Verse 7]
Gotta survive in [Bb]this life that's
being given to me
When it seems that [F]the [Am]world
keeps scratchin' on me
When I'm down at [Bb]the back,
just keep it real
Gotta survive, [Am]gotta survive
Gotta Survive in [Bb]this life
that's being given to me
So I try and I [Am]try to be all I can be
When it seems that [Bb]the world
keeps scratchin' on me
Gotta survive, [Am]gotta survive
[F]Got to,

[Verse 8]
[Bb]got to survive
Keep your [Am]head held high
[F]Got [Bb]to, got to survive
Keep your [Am]head to the [F]sky
Got [Bb]to, got to survive
We can [Am]make it if we try
[F]Got to,[Bb] got to survive
[Am]Gotta survive, got[Bb]ta survive

[Verse 9]
[Bb]You [F]know[Am][F][Bb]
there is [F]nothing in
this world that could [Am]separate me
[Bb]From what I believe,
[F]fro[Am]m what I've ach[Bb]ieved
All of this is because of [F]him
[Am]And I'm telling you now,
as much [Bb]as you all don't want to hear this
[F]I cou[Am]ld do nothing to [Bb]myself
It's all through him
[F]It's all[Am] through him
[Bb]So all around the wo[Am]rld
You don't even know success
[Bb]until you know him[F][Bb]
[Am]And him is Jesus,

[Outro 1]
Jesus
