Verse 1
Em 
I'm strugglin',
hustlin',
everyday the mech is me
Barely gettin' by,
tryna stay up off the streets
It might be surprising,
you never thought that I'd
be surviving
Struggling, hustling,
C 
Eaug 
heavy that a leg gives me
C 
Really getting by,
Em 
trying to stay above the streets
It might be surprising,
you never thought that I'd
be surviving
Surviving's only half of my struggle,
C 
the other half is trying to
Em 
back up my hustle
Getting a job,
then trying to stack up and bottle
With the odds,
I'm gon' be back up in trouble
But when I step on the scene,
you niggas back up and huddle
You can see the motivation in my eyes
C 
I'm out to get rich, not really get by
Em 
My quality to endure is my best asset
You so -called hustlers, only half step
What separates me from y 'all?
Many things I never say quit,
survive by any means
So if I gotta steal,
I'm getting what I came for
You can't stop me unless
you the game lord
My God told me be the best I could be
C 
With what I do with my hands,
so I took heed
Em 
You look pleased when
you hear what I wrote
Elijah is surviving, that you could call
I'm struggling, hustling,
G 
Em 
everyday the lake is me
Barely getting by,
trying to stay above the streets
It might be surprising,
you never thought that I'd
be surviving
Struggling, hustling,
G 
C 
everyday the lake is me
Barely getting by,
Em 
trying to stay above the streets
It might be surprising,
you never thought that I'd
be surviving
Learning how to survive
didn't come with practice
I was poor as a child,
when I was young I adapted
Now, in adult, I apply the tactics
C 
Em 
We die, y trippin' like
a higher acid
I'm finna get on cheese,
establish the nice stuff
C 
So I can get on E's,
Em 
the fabulous life of Eliza
First things first,
I gotta make it through the present
To see what my future's worth
We hold my self -discipline
and self -control
My mind's so strong,
I won't let myself explode
Expecting the unexpected,
I'm ready for a surprise
Long as I stay alive,
I know I'm gonna survive
I advise anybody thinkin'
C 
they finna stop me
Imitational conflict is not beef
Em 
So much willpower
ain't no way for me to feel
There's only one way
and that's for me to excel
I'm strugglin', hustlin',
G 
Em 
everyday the make is me
Barely gettin' by,
tryna stay up out the streets
It might be surprising,
you never thought that I'd be surviving
I'm strugglin', hustlin',
G 
C 
Eaug 
everyday the make is me
C 
Barely gettin' by,
Em 
tryna stay up out the streets
It might be surprising,
you never thought that I'd be surviving
I was born to survive,
I will never cease to live
I was blessed with intelligence
to teach the kids the streets a trip
When you try to reach the chips,
you better watch out
You're the thief, the snitch,
the leech, the kisser,
deaths in the midst of rest
C 
Life's so cheap, you could die of sleep
Em 
Your pride is weak,
every night you cry and weep
Even if it's only on the inside
While we out here struggling, striving
Most niggas dutching and dodging,
cops pitching rocks on blocks
Like a major league player, monkey face,
we in the major leagues player
Life is a franchise,
I'm about to branch out,
C 
broaden my horizon
Make sure the whole family surviving,
Em 
reviving the family tree
The next generation start with me,
can't you see?
Struggling, hustling,
everyday the lake is me
Rarely getting by,
trying to stay up off the streets
It might be surprising,
you never thought that I'd
be surviving
