[Chorus]

Survive

Doing what we must to stay alive

Survive

Continuing to prosper and thrive

Survive

Man’s greatest instinct will flourish

Through true acts of courage

The cavalry has arrived

Survive

Doing what we must to stay alive

Survive

Continuing to prosper and thrive

Survive

Man’s greatest instinct will flourish

Through true acts of courage

The cavalry has arrived

[Verse 1]

From the moment when the beat drops, I conceive thoughts…

That will make your head spin in circles ’til you see spots

Like a slingshot right between the eyes

Never saw it coming

I throw caution to the wind, now I’m off and running

The top gunning, I’m not done yet, I’m hot-blooded

The spot crusher to turn a feature to a blockbuster

I’m not just a regular joe

My flow is an intentional reinvention of the status quo

I go into a different place when I rock a beat

I feel as though my soul’s emerging from the words I speak

Like everything inside me is rising up and comprising itself as an entity that will survive for many centuries

I bless the beat, turn it into mince meat

Chopping up my syllables to fit the proper intervals

Every single sentence that I spit is set in stone

My brain is a computer calculating metronomes

My mouth is a machine manifesting the proper tone

This culmination of traits creates a monster on the microphone

I’m right at home when I step into the studio

You’re thinking you could step to us, the answer’s absolutely no

We’re standing on our own and that decision’s final

Pupil’s on the drum pad sampling from vinyl

And my primal instinct is to eat beats alive

Gaining nourishment from every line in order to survive

[Chorus]

Survive

Doing what we must to stay alive

Survive

Continuing to prosper and thrive

Survive

Man’s greatest instinct will flourish

Through true acts of courage

The cavalry has arrived

Survive

Doing what we must to stay alive

Survive

Continuing to prosper and thrive

Survive

Man’s greatest instinct will flourish

Through true acts of courage

The cavalry has arrived

[Verse 2]

It’s like a fire-breathing dragon’s on the track when I get started

My flow is hotter than molten lava melting through the flame retardant

I pick a target and decimate it, I’m devastating

Breaking up solid matter to liquid then evaporate it

Get acclimated to the way that I’m working magic

My verse is tragic, average emcees are the first to panic

Traversing the planet in search of a worthy opponent

When all I did was reestablish the fact that I own it

Take a moment to notice the way you rhyme in comparison to me is disparaging to the heart and yet you’re still arrogantly up on the stage rapping like you’re something and so apparently you must not have a brain in your skull

It’s fucking embarrassing

I’m on a different rung of the ladder

You’re looking up at a rapper that’s a master in subject matter

I’m somewhat adamant about ripping the beat apart

This ain’t for the weak of heart

You probably shouldn’t even start

Survival is key in the jungle

Emcees are hungry

I’m a great white shark feasting on minnows and guppies

A rapid animal that can’t be constrained or shackled

I soar above clouds like prehistoric pterodactyls

Naturally evolving and adapting to surroundings

I’m comfortable in an environment with bass pounding

I rhyme with an astounding amount of passion and drive

Keeping hip-hop alive

Underground it will survive

[Chorus]

Survive

Doing what we must to stay alive

Survive

Continuing to prosper and thrive

Survive

Man’s greatest instinct will flourish

Through true acts of courage

The cavalry has arrived

Survive

Doing what we must to stay alive

Survive

Continuing to prosper and thrive

Survive

Man’s greatest instinct will flourish

Through true acts of courage

The cavalry has arrived
