Survivor
Jim Jones Ft. Akon Lyrics

Konvict, Konvict (yeah)
Introducing the performers

Akon and Young Jeezy
Names of the artists

Tryna take it easy (yeah)
Trying to live a simple life

Only way to go (ayy)
This is the only way forward

You already know what it is, nigga
You should already be familiar with this lifestyle

And so
Proceeding to the next part of the song

Ayy, let's get it
Let's get started

But if you lookin' for me I'll be on the block
If you're searching for me, I'll be in the neighborhood

With my thang cocked possibly sittin' on a drop now
Armed with my weapon, potentially sitting in a convertible car

Because I'm a rider (ayy, yeah)
I'm a tough individual

Oh, yes, a soul survivor (yeah)
I'm a survivor of tough life situations

'Cause everybody know the game don't stop
The world is still moving even when life gets tough

Tryna make it to the top 'fore your ass get popped now
Trying to succeed before facing negative consequences

If you a rider (yeah)
If you're tough too

Oh, yes, a soul survivor (yeah, let's get it)
Then you're a survivor like me

Tonight I can't sleep, we livin' in Hell (yeah)
Tonight I am restless as we are living a difficult life

First they, give us the work then they throw us in jail (ayy)
First, they offer us opportunities, but then they imprison us

Road trip, yeah, I'm traffickin' the white
I am driving and selling illegal drugs

Please, Lord, don't let me go to jail tonight (yeah)
Asking for divine protection from imprisonment

Who me? I'm a soul survivor
I am someone who has survived past tough situations

Ask about 'em in the street, the boy Jeez a rider (Jeez a rider)
Jeez is known in the streets as someone tough

A hundred grand on my wrist, yeah, life sucks (haha)
I have expensive jewelry, but life is still difficult

Fuck the club, dawg, I rather count a million bucks (ayy)
I don't care about partying, I'd rather count my money

If you lookin' for me I'll be on the block
I can be found on the neighborhood block

Because I'm a rider (yeah)
Because I'm tough

Another day, another dolla (dolla)
Every day is the same thing, making money

Same block, same nigga, same part, same green (yeah, yeah, yeah)
The same people, place, and money are always around

I guess we got the same dreams (ayy)
We all want the same things

Or is it the same nightmares (nightmares)
Or maybe we are all haunted by the same fears

We let the doves do it for us, we don't cry tears (that's right)
We use our illegal gains to feel better instead of crying

Real niggas don't budge
Tough individuals don't back down

When mail man got his time he shot birds at the judge (yeah)
Someone shot birds (gave the middle finger) to the judge during a trial

I'm knee deep in the game
I'm heavily involved in illegal activities

So when it's time to read up, I'm knee deep in the 'caine (damn)
When it's time to restock drugs, I am heavily involved in drug trafficking

Real talk, look, I'm tellin' you, man (tellin' you, man)
I'm being honest and straight forward

If you get jammed up don't mention my name (nah)
Don't bring me up if you get caught by the law

Forgive me Lord, I know I ain't livin' right
Asking for forgiveness for living a wrong lifestyle

Gotta feed the block, niggas starvin', they got appetites (ayy)
I must keep supplying drugs to keep the neighborhood going

And this is everyday, it never gets old (old)
This is a daily routine that never changes

Thought I was a juvenile stuck to the G-Code (yeah)
I believed in the G-Code (street code) since I was young

This ain't a rap song, nigga this is my life (this is my life)
This is not just a song, this is how I live

And if the hood was a battlefield then I earn stripes (yeah)
If the neighborhood was a warzone, I would have earned a lot of respect

Gotta watch your every move 'cause them eyes be on you (eyes be on you)
You have to be careful because people are always watching

Gotta drive real cool when them pies be on you (pies be on you)
You have to be calm and discrete when transporting drugs

Just 'cause we stack paper and we ball outrageous (ball outrageous)
Just because we have money and live comfortably

Them alphabet boys gotta us under surveillance (ayy)
The police are keeping tabs on us

Like animals, they lock us in cages
They imprison us like wild animals

The same nigga that's a star when you put 'em on stages
The same people that are tough in the neighborhood can be famous on stage

I ain't cheat, played the hand I was dealt
I did not cheat, I just dealt with the cards that were given to me

Tried to tax the grand pearl when I got it myself (let's get it)
I tried to make money legally when I finally had the opportunity

No nuts, no glory (no glory)
You have to be bold to succeed

My biography, you damn right, the true story (yeah)
This song tells my true story

Set the city on fire, and I didn't even try (try)
I unintentionally caused chaos in the city just by living my life

Run these streets all day, I can sleep when I die (ayy)
I am always on the go, but I can rest when I'm dead

'Cause if you lookin' for me you you can find me
If you're searching for me, I'm always around

On the block disobeyin' the law
I am always breaking the law in the neighborhood

A real G, thoroughbred from the streets
I am a genuine tough person from the neighborhood

Pants saggin' with my gun in my drawers
My pants are sagging and I keep my gun in my underwear

Just keep on movin' now
Let's keep going and not let anything stop us

Just keep on movin' now, ayy
Let's just keep going
