[Verse 1]
[Am]Da d[Em]ee da[Am] do,[Em]
da [Am]dee da dee dee [Em]da
[Am]Da dee da do[Em],
da [Am]dee da dee dee [Em]da
[Am]When a man is [Em]hungry,
[Am]can't get no food to eat[Em]
[Am]The fire g[Em]oes out,
every [Am]bitter thing is [Em]sweet
Liv[Am]ing down in the g[Em]hetto,
where [Am]things are running so [Em]tough
[Am]Say you've got to [Em]be
rough to [Am]stay alive
[Em]That's why I'm a survivo[Am]r,
fighting [Em]to keep the gift of l[Am]ife[Em]
And [Am]I will never,
nev[Em]er give up the fi[Am]ght[Em]
I'm a sur[Am]vivor,
fighting [Em]to keep the gift of l[Am]ife
[Em]And I will never[Am],
nev[Em]er give up the fi[Am]ght[Em]
[Am]Youth and youth educa[Em]tion is a must
To [Am]overcome petty prejudice
[Em]system[Am]
Living down [Em]in Kingston,
that's the [Am]black [Em]university
[Am]Youth and youth shut
down [Em]on the street
Trying [Am]to make two friends meet
[Em]Still I'm a survivor[Am],
fight[Em]ing to keep the gift of [Am]life[Em]
And I will [Am]never,
nev[Em]er give up the fi[Am]ght[Em]
[Am]I'll rule out and [Em]oppress the poor
Like [Am]a driving rain that leaves
[Em]no c[Am]rop
Watching and [Em]bearing all the [Am]thefts
through the [Em]gap[Am]
Living in the [Em]ghetto
where [Am]things are running
so [Em]rough[Am][Em]
[Am]Say you've got to be
tough [Em]to s[Am]tay alive
[Em]Oh, still I'm [Am]a survivor,
fighting [Em]to keep the peace of li[Am]fe[Em]
And I will [Am]never,
[Em]never give up [Am]the [Em]fight
I'm a sur[Am]vivor,
fighting [Em]to keep the peace of li[Am]fe[Em]
And I will [Am]never, [Em]nev er give up the f[Am]ight[Em][Am]
[Em][Am][Em][Am][Em][Am][Em]
[Am][Em]
[Am]When a man is [Em]hungry
[Am]and can't get enough of [Em]sweet
[Am]The fire goes [Em]out ,
[Am]every bitter thing is [Em]sweet
[Am]Livin' down in King[Em]ston,
that's the [Am]black [Em]university[Am]
