[Ma$e talking]

I don't regret nothin that ive ever done

At this point i don't owe nobody an explanation

[Ma$e]

Man they love you when you up

Kick you when you down

Look around vh1 man where are they now

Life is amusin nobody like to see you cruisin

But everybody like to see you losin

So i stop despisin on top a lies

Im livin prophet side i'll be ostracized

One day i lost my Rhodium the day i hit the podium

Now im back on top

Salty like sodium

A gift to this world man

Rappin with a ribbon

Whyy do you look for a dead among the livin

Some thought i was crazy

Some thought i was missin

Some said i was lazy

Some said i was different

I was so loaded

That everybody flowed it but once i got the notice

Then i got focused

And then i saw they motive so everybody voted

So i did the way i wrote it and lived it the way i quote it

C'mon

[Chorus]

Gotta Survive in this life that's been given to me

When it seems like the world keeps scratchin' on me

When im down i get by just keep it real

Gotta survive Gotta survive

Gotta survive in this life thas been given to me

So i try and i try to be all i can be

When it seems like the world keeps scratchin' on me

Gotta survive Gotta survive

[Ma$e]

Now people on the block try to tell me what im not

Pull up in a bot now im all a sudden hot

Now they wanna stop just to look at what i got

Thought they was my homie left me out to rot

So i had to make it on my own

Take it on my own

I wanted out the hood i had to 'scape it on my own

Believe me now it's easy now cuz everybody seen me now

And im on tv now

But it startd out with no budget

Then i took it round the world and the folks love it

In the beginnin mangs my life was so rugged

But now i shine like a gold nugget cuz i made the most of it

I know how you feelin man i was weary

Some days I used to sit there my eyes all teary

Thinkin to myself do anybody hear me now i know

U makin a dolla's not a theory

C'mon

Gotta Survive in this life that's been given to me

When it seems like the world keeps scratchin' on me

When I'm down I get by just keep it real

[Ma$e]

I've been laughed at

Talked about

Ridiculed

But M Dot Betha is still not a bitter dude

And you know it's no coincident

That me and you is not so intimate

I can't fake

I don't shake

I don't break

I don't lose i don't use i don't bruise

I never lack and im never goin back

I'm nuthin you ever saw tho

I'm tellin you im immortal

[Chorus]

Gotta Survive in this life that's been given to me

When it seems like the world keeps scratchin on me

When im down i get by just keep it real

Gotta survive Gotta survive

Gotta survive in this life thas been givn to me

So i try and i try to be all i can be

When it seems like the world keeps scratchin on me

Gotta survive Gotta survive

Gotta Gotta survive

Keep your head held high

Gotta Gotta survive

Keep your head to the sky

Gotta Gottasurvive

We can make it if we try

Gotta Gotta survive

Gotta survive

Gotta survive

[Ma$e talking w/ chorus in background repeatin twice]

Yeah...

You know there's nothin this world

That could seperate me

From what I believe

From what I achieve

All of this is because of him

And im tellin you now as much as ya'll don't wanna hear this

I could do nothin by myself

It's all through him. it's all through him

So all around the world

You don't even know success

Until you know him

And him is Jesus
