Survive Lyrics by Elijah Rosario

2020

You don’t know where I’ve been
You don’t know the pain that I’ve been through
Walk around inside my skin
And watch all of the judgement they gone show you
You don’t know what I had to do to survive
You don’t know what I had to do to survive
You don’t know what I had to do to survive
A black man working hard to stay alive
They say this the land of the free
Ain’t this suppose to be the home of the brave?
Why you tryna chain me down?
And kick me down when I stand up to the plate
I won’t let em take control
I won’t ever sell my soul no no
The devil tryna get a hold on me
Really tryna take a toll on me
As I walk through the valley In the shadow of death
I’m just praying to the lord that he orders my steps
Crazy how some people say they wanna serve and protect
Then turn around and put that noose on ya neck
No remorse or regret
You won't ever buy my silence
Let’s put an end to all the violence
Despite the scars on my skin and my soul
Through it all they gone still remain vibrant
You don’t know where I’ve been
You don’t know the pain that I’ve been through
Walk around inside my skin
And watch all of the judgement they gone show you
You don’t know what I had to do to survive
You don’t know what I had to do to survive
You don’t know what I had to do to survive
A black man working hard to stay alive
Working hard to stay alive
In this world it’s either do or die
Working hard to stay alive
In this world man I swear that’s do or die
