Benni Gorgeous - Will to Survive

Always knew that I was meant for something better
But when you from the hood homie they won't let you forget it
So instead of live my time full of regret
I planned my next steps cuz life is chess, it ain't checkers!
That's how it is, you probably think it's fair ain't it?
Cuz where I'm from you the defendant, dead, or you the plaintiff
They treat us similar to dogs ain't no understatement
Lock you out ya crib and leave you sleeping out in staircases
So is it just me or isn't this insanity?
We suddenly addicted to the vanity
Fake smiles everywhere a camera be
Instead of tearing down the wrongs of our forefathers man we tearing up our families
So what about that struggling mother who just lost her job?
Tryna live an honest life ain't no walk in the park
You see I brought you all a message, I just talked with God
He said we all gonna make it if we keep ignoring the odds

Keep on hustling and keep on striving
Just keep being strong you'll find the will to survive
Keep on hustling and keep on striving
Just keep being you and find the will to survive
Keep on hustling and keep on striving
Just keep being strong you'll find the will to survive
Keep on hustling and keep on striving
Just keep being you and find the will to survive

You can't tell these people nothing, so I deaded them
I'm turning off my GPS God knows where I'm headed man
Cancel culture got us worried about offending them
meanwhile our daughters out here swinging like a pendulum
I'm still tryna figure what's the use though
Fresh prince Jordan Air 5's that's the shoes though
Had to separate myself from the losers yo
Fake friends I pushed 'em out my circle like this sumo, oh
Guess I'm only out here making up for lost time
They out here selling souls I never lost mine
Can somebody out here tell me what it cost, I need the Lord to gimme more signs
I can't shake the feeling something's off, but I keep on trying!
One things for sure; I know he got a plan for me
It's time I air my dirty laundry, it just hampered me
Instead of throwing' stones, hatred comes so naturally
I brought ya'll a message, homie this is what it happened to be

Keep on hustling and keep on striving
Just keep being strong you'll find the will to survive
Keep on hustling and keep on striving
Just keep being you and find the will to survive
Keep on hustling and keep on striving
Just keep being strong you'll find the will to survive
Keep on hustling and keep on striving
Just keep being you and find the will to survive
