Survivor Songtext

von Vanilla Ice

I'm a survivor, I've been around the block
I'm a survivor, I've been around the block
I'm survivor, yeah

Well, it's not about the industry
And it's not about the things
That I been through like nozzin' Jay Z

See I seen a lot of things on the road to destruction
Addicted to this rap game standing up and busting
This ain't a comeback, this ain't a second coming
We took a real loss when John back stops strumming

America's in trouble, the music is dying
They said some things about me now the rap game is lying

I'm a survivor, I've been around the block
I'm a survivor, I'm coming out of the block
I'm a survivor and yet you know I won't stop
I'm a survivor, I can't escape the block
I'm a survivor

What you got? What you got?
What you got? What you got?
I'm a survivor, you don't want it
You don't want it, you don't want it

From sold out stages to seconds from my life
To rolling with Madonna, to wrecking on my bike
There are some things I regret and some I don't
And some I don't

I went from styles of the 90's to Dickies and short toes
No matter what I'm wearing, I'm still in a hell hole
Escaped suicide from that gun on my dresser
I look into my daughter's eyes, that relieves the pressure

I'm a survivor, I've been around the block
I'm a survivor, I'm coming out of the block
I'm a survivor and yet you know I won't stop
I'm a survivor, I can't escape the block
I'm a survivor

What you got? What you got?
What you got? What you got?
I'm a survivor, you don't want it
You don't want it, you don't want it

First they love you then they hate
Sign you then they rape you
Treat you like a sport, pump
Fake you then they shake you

I don't want your 'cause I'm far from the norm
I can't take what you give, I'd have made it through the storm
I want the whole world to know me straight through my songs
Baby, when I die, let the songs live on

'Cause I'm surviving now, yeah, know I won't stop
I'm surviving, I'm coming out of the block

I'm a survivor, I've been around the block
I'm a survivor, I'm coming out of the block
I'm a survivor and yet you know I won't stop
I'm a survivor, I can't escape the block
I'm a survivor

What you got? What you got?
What you got? What you got?
I'm a survivor, you don't want it
You don't want it, you don't want it
