[Intro 1]
[Am][Gm][F][Em]

[Chorus 1]
[Dm]This [C]is sur[F]vival of [G]the [A]fittest
[Dm]This [C]is do [F]or [G]die[A]
[Dm]This [C]is the win[F]ner takes [G]it [A]all
So take it [Dm]all- [C]all
[F][G][A]

[Verse 1]
Wasn't [Am]ready to be no millionaire,
[G]I was ill-prepared
[F]I was prepared to be ill[Em] though,
the skill was there
From the beginning, it [Dm]wasn't 'bout the ends
[C]It was 'bout busting raps
and standing [F]for [G]something,
[A]fuck an acronym
Cut the fucking act like [Dm]you're happy,
I'm fucking [C]back again
With another anthem, [F]why stop
[G]when it [A]doesn't have to end?
It ain't over 'til I [Dm]say it's over,
[C]enough when I say enough
Throw me [F]to them wolves
and [G]close the [A]gate up
I'm afraid of what'll happen to them [Dm]wolves
When the thought of [C]being thrown into an
alli[F]gator pit, I [G]sali[A]vate at it
Wait is up,
hands up like it's [Dm]twelve noon, nah, [C]homie
Hold them bitches
straighter [F]up,
wave [G]'em [A]'til
you dislocate a rotator cuff
[Am]Came up rough,
came to ruffle [G]feathers, nah, egos
I ain't [F]deflate enough,
last chance to [Em]make this whole stadium erupt

[Chorus 2]
[Dm]This [C]is sur[F]vival of [G]the [A]fittest
[Dm]This [C]is do [F]or [G]die[A]
[Dm]This [C]is the win[F]ner takes [G]it [A]all
So take it [Dm]all- [C]all
[F][G][A]

[Verse 2]
I can see the [Am]finish line
with each line that [G]I finish
I'm so close [F]to my goals,
I can almost [Em]pole vault over the goal post
And if I don't got enough in [Dm]the tank,
maybe I can [C]just siphon enough
To fill up [F]this last [G]can, [A]man
will I survive in this climate or [Dm]what?
They said I was washed [C]up
and got a blood bath
I'm [F]not a rapper, [G]I'm an [A]adapter,
I can adjust
Plus [Dm]I can just walk up to a m[C]ic and just bust
So [F]floor's open [G]if you'd [A]like to discuss
Top five in this [Dm]mothafucka
and if I don't [C]make the cut
What, like I give [F]a fuck?
[G]I'ma light [A]this bitch up like I'm driving a truck
To the side of a [Dm]pump,
zero to sixty [C]hop in and gun it
Like [F]G-Unit [G]without the [A]hyphen,
I'm hyping 'em up
[Am]And if there should ever come a time[G]
where my life's in a rut
[F]And I look like I might jus[Em]t give up,

[Verse 3]
eh, might've mistook
Me for bowing [Dm]out I ain't taking a b[C]ow,
I'm stabbing myself
With [F]a fucking knife i[G]n the g[A]ut,
while I'm wiping my butt
'Cause I just [Dm]shitted on the mic,
and [C]I like getting cut
I get [F]excited at the sight of [G]my blood
[A]you're in a fight with a nut
'Cause I'ma [Dm]fight 'til I die or [C]win
Bitin' the dust
It'll [F]just make [G]me [A]angrier, wait
Let me [Am]remind you of what
[G]got me this far
Picture me [F]quittin'
Now draw a circle around it
and put a [Em]line through it, slut

[Chorus 3]
It's survival of what
[Dm]This [C]is sur[F]vival of [G]the [A]fittest
[Dm]This [C]is do [F]or [G]die[A]
[Dm]This [C]is the win[F]ner takes [G]it [A]all
So take it [Dm]all- [C]all
[F][G][A]
So take it [Dm]all- [C]all
[F][G][A]

[Verse 4]
[Am]So get your ideas,
[G]stack your ammo
But don't [F]come unless you come to battle,
now [Em]mount up, jump in the saddle
This is [Dm]it, it's what you eat, s[C]leep, piss and shit
[F]Live, breathe,
[G]your whole [A]existence just consists of this
Refuse to [Dm]quit, fuse is lit,
can't [C]defuse the wick
I don't [F]do this music [G]shit,
I [A]lose my shit
Ain't got shit to lose
it's [Dm]the moment of truth
It's [C]all I know how to do,
as [F]soon as I get [G]thrown in the bo[A]oth, I spit
But my respect is [Dm]overdue,
I'm showing you [C]the flow no one do
'Cause I [F]don't own no [G]diploma
for [A]school, I quit
So there's nothing for me to [Dm]fall back on
I know no [C]other trades
So you'd better trade your [F]fucking mics in
[G]for some [A]tool boxes
'Cause you'll [Am]never take my pride from me
[G]It'll have to be pried from me
so [F]pull out your pliers
and your [Em]screwdrivers

[Verse 5]
But I want you to [Dm]doubt me,
I don't [C]want you to believe
'Cause [F]this is something
that [G]I m[A]ust use to succeed
And if you don't [Dm]like me
then fuck [C]you
Self esteem must be [F]fucking shooting
[G]through [A]the roof
'cause trust me
My skin is [Dm]too thick
and bullet [C]proof to touch me
I can [F]see why the [G]fuck I [A]disgust you
I must be [Am]al lergic to failure
'cause every [G]time I close to it
I just [F]sneeze,
but I just go [Em]a choo

[Chorus 4]
then achieve
[Dm]This [C]is sur[F]vival of [G]the [A]fittest
[Dm]This [C]is do [F]or [G]die[A]
[Dm]This [C]is the win[F]ner takes [G]it [A]all
So take it [Dm]all- [C]all
[F][G][A]
So take it [Dm]all- [C]all
[F][G][A]

[Outro 1]
[Am][Gm][F][Em]
