Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't stop me think I'm messing around
You think I'm messin around
Well are you messin around with me
Truth is I've seen the ups and the downs
And through the losses and the founds
Well I'm right where I wanna be
You never get a break you're never gonna go
Stop thinking everybody's shakin
I never gotta break but
I survive
You can tryn but you can't deny me
I survive
Like a lie that just won't die
I survive
Fuck you ya think I'm messin around
You think I'm messin around
Well I ain't messin around you see
Back off you'll find your ass on the ground
And when I roll through your town
Well I'll be layin you down to sleep
Stop thinking everybody's shakin
You never get a break you're never gonna go
Stop thinking everybody's shakin
I never gotta break but
I survive
You can tryn but you can't deny me
I survive
Like a lie that just won't die
I survive
The song "Survive" by the Detroit Hate Choir (formerly known as Dope) is a defiant anthem about overcoming adversity and persevering through obstacles. The lyrics are about someone who has faced challenges and setbacks but refuses to be defeated. The repetition of the phrase "I survive" is both a statement of strength and a reminder to the listener that they too can overcome whatever struggles they are facing.
The song appears to be directed at someone who doubts the singer's abilities and thinks they are "messing around." The lyrics are a response to this criticism, asserting that the singer has "seen the ups and the downs" and is "right where I wanna be." The repeated line "stop thinking everybody's shakin" suggests that the singer is tired of people underestimating them and projecting their own insecurities onto others.
Overall, the song is a powerful declaration of resilience and self-confidence. It encourages listeners to believe in themselves and never give up on their goals, even in the face of adversity.

How have you not received a copyright strike? You're literally stealing other's work. The title is very misleading, as well as the video's description. Nice touch with putting vevo in the thumbnail to make it more believable.
I've been listening to Jellyroll before he blew up back in 2012. I hate seeing people profit off these artist by uploading their music.

This song has helped me so much as just 2 years ago I lost my whole world , I lost my 2 children in a massive house fire. I'd give any thing to meet this man shake his hand and tell him what his music means to me
