tryin' to survive - botany boys lyrics

[verse 1]
tryin’ to survive in this world is gettin’ hectic as h-ll
every time i turn my back my homie’s goin’ to jail
tryin’ make some ends just to pay some bills
tryin’ to keep the family feed, tryin’ to keep ’em chill
straight hustlin’, no bussin’, in god we trust ‘n’ moms still fussin’
how i’m comin’ up with so much green
and what’s that hangin’ from the waist to your hip
it’s my 9 gotta stay strapped at all times never know when a fool want to trip behind mine
cause it’s real in this world of ’95
i’m tryin’ to get paid, i’m tryin’ to survive

[hook] x2
when i’m rollin’ with the botany boys
we’re comin’ with a lot of noise
survivin’ the game mane
it’s all about making millions mane

[verse 2]
sittin’ back thinkin’ about the days of my life
smokin’ that weed, sellin’ that cheese tryin to get it right
things was lookin’ good things was looking bad
tryin to get the things in my life i never had
like a jag, a benz, or maybe even a beamer
when i was young i had dreams of bein’ a
fullback or a linebacker instead i pulled gats
call me a nine-packer ‘cause i’m black
and them haters want to act and jack
cause i know how to stack
a dollar bill
in this game of survival you gotta k!ll
or be dead on arrival by the steel
you gotta survive

[hook x2]

[verse 3]
feds steady bustin’ tryin’ test the heat
n-gga’s steady hustlin’ tryin’ to get on his feet
as they swooped through took my loot
repossessed my coup
dope sniffed out by they fleet packin’ boots
so i kick back chill on the drug smuggle
so ran records snuggle tryin’ make my ends double
as i struggle
laws steady in my face a misdemeanor case got me back in that paper
times are hard gettin’ barred off the streets
open my eyes and realize the agony of defeat
if i win or lose it’s the game it’s the game i choose
pumpin’ 9 doin’ my time payin’ my dues

[verse 4]
if you hoes didn’ know
i’m tryin’ to survive the best way i can
grew up without my dad and still became a man
skippin’ school catch me bailin’ out the back door
so me and pap-pap stayin’ at the back store[?]
introduced to the game now things changed
daddy want to come around since i’m sellin’ ‘caine
too late for that father figure my nuts got bigga
plus i’m a stand up n-gga
makin’ stands all night until the laws raid
anything to help mom get the bills paid
so to the lord i pray to keep me alive
please help a young g, i’m tryin’ to survive

[hook x2]

[bridge]
now when you see me in the streets just hangin’
me and the fellas just dankin’
we’re tryin’ to survive mane
it’s all about makin’ millions mane

when you see me and the homies rollin’
just give us some dab ‘cause you know we’re holdin’
just tryin’ to survive mane
it’s all about keepin’ our millions mane

[hook x2]
