Lyrics For Survival Tactics By Mass The Difference
intro
Took me to a place that I couldn’t see
Took me to a place that I couldn’t reach
Was swinging on the bars
And I couldn’t breathe
It’s fucking up my lungs like nicotine
Something I couldn’t keep, I quit it
I might dab in it a little
Just to blow it like a whistle, you know
Bad habits, I need a care package
I need someone to tell me when I’m doing me damage
chorus
Everybody listening
Everybody witnesses
I make sacrifices
Can I get enlightened
Everybody listening
Can I get a witnesses
I make sacrifices
Can I get enlightened
verse 1
Survival tactics
We had it and never left it
We talked about the paper
On days that we barely had it
Asking all these favours
Nobody would ever hand it, no
Ripping all these pages
And feeling like rap’s forsaken us
We eating dust
Right in the back, nobody feeling us
Was really snaaks
I got it, reach for my pocket, nothing
The other option was robbing but never did it
My heart was never wicked
This life I would not live it
If I knew I took a father’s pay
Mama cried the other day
Summer time was on the way
Cold night for my sisters
They wanted to evict us
It was crazy, now we’re victors
I feel the pain and picture of this shitty life
I’d rather die, I’d rather be a sacrifice
And make sure that we’re living nice
That’s why I’m rapping
I’m rapping for the white man
Always take the paper
But never can take my mic stand
They can sell my story
But never can buy my mind and…
chorus
verse 2
Survival tactics
We had it and never planned it
All the times that we were hungry
We made a plan and we passed it
Something ’bout the money
When it comes it holds you captive
Like a crazy lover
You know she gon prick the rubber
She want kids, you got your grind on getting rich
On the streets you was a player
She don’t know about the bitch
She still thinking ’bout a family
I wonder why she mad at me
You promised her but fantasy
She couldn’t see the man
She had to figure out you fucking up her plans
You the one she still gon think about
When shit hitting the fan
Survival tactics
Sh had it and never left it
She talked about her marriage
On days that were never lavish, ai, ai
