Featuring Q-Tip
[Intro:]
Trying to survive [x3]
[Verse 1:]
So you made it here with everyone
And you dig the fun and the air is fine
But, soon youâll realize it ainât so
Cuz big brotherâs on your back
And you gotta take control
[Chorus:]
Iâm just trying to survive in this big city
Youâre just trying to survive oh
And Iâm just trying to survive in this big city
Youâre just trying to survive oh
[Verse 2:]
I see weâre all in this together
And I see weâre all falling for so many endeavors
Like all on Twitter, IG and Facebook
I donât know how I got caught in this book
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
Ghetto style and the subject is making dollars
But taxes in higher brackets is making me wanna holler
We starving the Marvin
Whoâs carving the apple pie weâre eating
Somebody is clearly cheating
Benefits we ainât receiving
Live legal and must be people trying to be fly like the eagle thatâs printed on all our paper
So we plotting holy papers
No, we want to aspire, but nobodyâs getting high
Then, we have to be provided so we gotta be surviving
[Chorus:]
Iâm just trying to survive in this big city
And Iâm just trying to survive
And Iâm just trying to survive in this big city
And Iâm just trying to survive oh
And you know I am too
(Survive, survive, survive) [x3]
Survive, survive, survive [x3]
Survive
Survive, survive, survive
Survive
[Chorus:]
And Iâm just trying to survive in this big city
And youâre just trying to survive oh
And Iâm just trying to survive in this big city
And youâre just trying to survive
You know I am too (too, too, too)
(too, too, too, too, too, too)
And Iâm just trying to survive in this big city
And Iâm just trying to survive
