Survival - Eminem

[00:06.93] This is survival of the fittest

[00:12.23] This is do or die

[00:17.87] This is the winner takes it all

[00:22.26] So take it all, all, all-all

[00:28.32] Wasn't ready to be no millionaire, I was ill-prepared

[00:31.69] I was prepared to be ill though, the skill was there

[00:34.05] From the beginning, it wasn't 'bout the ends

[00:35.84] It was 'bout busting raps and standing for something, fuck an acronym

[00:39.21] Cut the fucking act like you're happy, I'm fucking back again

[00:42.09] With another anthem, why stop when it doesn't have to end?

[00:44.82] It ain't over 'til I say it's over, enough when I say enough

[00:47.76] Throw me to them wolves and close the gate up

[00:49.56] I'm afraid of what'll happen to them wolves

[00:51.64] When the thought of being thrown into an alligator pit, I salivate at it

[00:55.22] Wait is up, hands up like it's twelve noon, nah, homie

[00:57.86] Hold them bitches straighter up, wave 'em 'til you dislocate a rotator cuff

[01:01.45] Came up rough, came to ruffle feathers, nah, egos

[01:03.64] I ain't deflate enough, last chance to make this whole stadium erupt

[01:07.07] This is survival of the fittest

[01:12.28] This is do or die

[01:17.83] This is the winner takes it all

[01:22.29] So take it all, all, all-all

[01:28.09] I can see the finish line with each line that I finish

[01:30.66] I'm so close to my goals, I can almost pole vault over the goal post

[01:35.11] And if I don't got enough in the tank, maybe I can just siphon enough

[01:38.25] To fill up this last can, man will I survive in this climate or what?

[01:41.70] They said I was washed up, and got a blood bath

[01:43.99] I'm not a rapper, I'm an adapter, I can adjust

[01:46.75] Plus I can just walk up to a mic and just bust

[01:49.07] So floor's open if you'd like to discuss

[01:51.37] Top five in this mothafucka and if I don't make the cut

[01:54.25] What, like I give a fuck? I'ma light this bitch up like I'm driving a truck

[01:57.38] To the side of a pump, zero to sixty hop in and gun it

[02:00.23] Like G-Unit without the hyphen, I'm hyping 'em up

[02:03.06] And if there should ever come a time where my life's in a rut

[02:05.37] And I look like I might just give up, eh, might've mistook

[02:08.21] Me for bowing out I ain't taking a bow, I'm stabbing myself

[02:11.02] With a fucking knife in the gut, while I'm wiping my butt

[02:14.12] 'Cause I just shitted on the mic, and I like getting cut

[02:16.42] I get excited at the sight of my blood, you're in a fight with a nut

[02:19.46] 'Cause I'ma fight 'til I die or win

[02:21.02] Bitin' the dust it'll just make me angrier, wait

[02:23.86] Let me remind you of what got me this far, picture me quittin'

[02:27.18] Now draw a circle around it and put a line through it, slut

[02:29.47] It's survival of what

[02:30.09] This is survival of the fittest

[02:35.51] This is do or die

[02:41.00] This is the winner takes it all

[02:45.45] So take it all, all, all-all

[02:50.94] So take it all, all, all-all

[02:57.53] So get your ideas, stack your ammo

[02:59.55] But don't come unless you come to battle, now mount up, jump in the saddle

[03:02.68] This is it, it's what you eat, sleep, piss and shit

[03:05.80] Live, breathe, your whole existence just consists of this

[03:08.11] Refuse to quit, fuse is lit, can't defuse the wick

[03:10.97] I don't do this music shit, I lose my shit

[03:13.45] Ain't got shit to lose, it's the moment of truth

[03:15.26] It's all I know how to do, as soon as I get thrown in the booth, I spit

[03:18.94] But my respect is overdue, I'm showing you the flow no one do

[03:22.04] 'Cause I don't own no diploma for school, I quit

[03:24.32] So there's nothing for me to fall back on, I know no other trades

[03:26.88] So you'd better trade your fucking mics in for some tool boxes

[03:29.98] 'Cause you'll never take my pride from me

[03:31.47] It'll have to be pried from me, so pull out your pliers and your screwdrivers

[03:35.56] But I want you to doubt me, I don't want you to believe

[03:38.39] 'Cause this is something that I must use to succeed

[03:41.22] And if you don't like me then fuck you

[03:42.75] Self esteem must be fucking shooting through the roof 'cause trust me

[03:46.38] My skin is too thick and bullet proof to touch me

[03:48.97] I can see why the fuck I disgust you

[03:51.03] I must be allergic to failure 'cause every time I come close to it

[03:54.14] I just sneeze, but I just go achoo then achieve

[03:57.36] This (this) is (is) survival of the fittest

[04:02.79] This (this) is (is) do or die

[04:08.34] This (this) is (is) the winner takes it all

[04:12.83] So take it all, all, all-all

[04:18.09] So take it all, all, all-all
