Sur[C]vival
Sur[Am]vival
the strong can survive,
it's called sur[C]vival
[Am]Only the strong can survive,
it's called survival
[C]In [Am]or der to stay alive,
it's called surviv[C]al
Survival, [Am]survival, survival
They smile in your face
and they talk behind your back
And when you give them the [C]story,
it's never ex[Am]act
Some say they're your friends,
[C]but they really are not
[Am]Because they're only out to try
and get what you've got
Sur[C]vival
[Am]Only the strong can survive,
[F]it's called surviv[C]al
[Am]Only the strong can survive,
it's [C]called survival
In order [Am]to stay alive,
it's called surviv[C]al,
surviv[Am]al, survival, survival
In jail they got a [G]game
an[Am]d they call it survival
They run it down to you
on your first arrival
They tell you what you [G]can
and what you [Am]cannot do
So if you ever go to [G]jail, watch [Am]out
It's called [C]survival
[Am]Only the strong can survive
It's called sur[C]vival
[Am]Only the strong can survive,
[F]it's cal[Am]led surviv[C]al

[C][Am]
I went looking for a [G]job
[C]every [Am]day last week
But it turned into a [G]crazy [C]game
of [Am]hide -and -seek
Because every place I [G]seemed
to [C]look a [Am]job wasn't there
I might as well apply for [G]food
[C]stamps or wel[Am]fare
It's called sur[C]vival
And only the strong can survive
[F]It's cal[C]led survival
An[Am]d only the strong can survive
[C]It's called survival
[Am]In o[C]rder to stay alive
[Am]It's called survival,[C]
sur[Am]vival, [C]surviv[Am]al, survival
People like Hercules,
[G]your bod[C]y is [Am]strong
but your mind is like the [G]devil,
your [Am]ideals are wrong.
You hurt [C]people's feelings
and mess with their minds,
then [Am]have the nerve to [C]call me brother
and wave the peace sign.
The young and the old,
they all hate your sight,
[Am]because of people [C]like you,
they're scared to [Am]walk in the night.
It's [C]called survival.
[Am]Only the strong can survive.
[F]It's cal[C]led survival.
If only [Am]the strong can survive,
it's called survival
[G]In [C]or der [Am]to stay alive,
it's called survival
Survival, [C]surviv[Am]al, survival
The prob[C]lems of the world today
are [Am]big ger than life
[C]You [Am]have reces[C]sions and depressions
Men are cheating on their wives
Babies born each morn
with part of their bodies gone
Because of some crazy drug
that their mothers was on
There's countries fighting, not uniting
Always put[Am]ting each other down
[F]Bla[Am]cks and whi[C]tes don't realize
that they're [Am]really pink and brown
You got gun joke, [G]cut joke,
[C]str[Am]ess and strife
And looking out for number one
is a way of life
It's called survival
And only the strong can survive
It's called sur[C]vival
And only the [Am]strong can survive
[F]It's cal[Am]led surviv[C]al
[Am]In order to stay alive
[F]It's called surviv[C]al, sur[Am]vival, survival,

[G][Am][G]
[C][Am]
You got to lock all your [G]windows,
chain [Am]up all your doors
To protect what's inside
of your houses and stores
Beware of the [G]food, it [Am]might be no good
Cause there's someone
trying to poison the whole neighborhood
Ha!
Today they found [G]something
in some[C]body's [Am]store
They said kill ten [G]people
[C]and hurt [Am]four more
They can't even trust a [G]bill
to [C]make [Am]life easier
When there's sudden death
[G]on [C]your ros[Am]es' freezer
Survival
[C]Only the strong [Am]can survive,
it's called survival
[G]Only [C]the str[Am]ong can survive,

Survival, [Am]survival, survival
[C]About [F]to los[C]e you[Am]r mind
[C]Because life is hard
[Am]Yet you believe in every[G]thing
[C]But[Am], God, those pretty women
Lots of money, [C]yeah, [Am]that's alright
But don't you ever forget
[G]The man wit[C]h the[Am] mic
Now get a [C]hold of yourself, man
Think positive
Be[Am]cause that's definitely
[G]The [C]only way [Am]to live
Don't let your mind flow
[G]Mik[C]e, wa [Am]ter from a cup,
and don't you ever let me [G]hear you [C]say that [Am]you're giving up,
it's called sur[C]vival

Remember, a [C]child is born
with no state of mind
[Am]He was blind to the ways of ma[C]nk[Am]ind
God is smiling on you,
but [C]he's [Am]frowning too
Because only God knows
what you'll go [Am]through
