Survival
[Chours: Liz Rodrigues]This is survival of the fittestThis is do or dieThis is the winner takes it allSo take it all
[Verse 1: Eminem]Wasn't ready to be a millionaire, I was ill-preparedI was prepared to be ill, though the skill was thereIn the beginning, it wasn't 'bout the endsIt was 'bout bustin' raps and standin' for somethin'Fuck an acronymCut the fuckin' act like you're happy, I'm fuckin' back againWith another anthem, why stop when it doesn't have to end?It ain't over 'til I say it's over - enough when I say enoughThrow me to them wolves and close the gate up upI'm afraid of what'll happen to them wolvesWhen the thought of being thrown into an alligator pit, I salivated itRaise your hands up like it's 12 noonNah, homie, hold them bitches straight upWait until you dislocate a rotator cuffCame up rough, came to ruffle feathersNah, egos, I ain't deflatin' 'emLast chance to make this whole stadium erupt

[Verse 2: Eminem]I can see the finish line with each line that I finishI'm so close to my goals I can almost pole vault over the goal postAnd if I don't got enough in the tank maybe I can just siphon enoughTo fill up this last can, man will I survive in this climate or what?They said I was washed up and got a blood bathI'm not a rapper, I'm an adapterI can adjust, plus I can just walk up to a mic and just bustSo floor's open if you'd like to discussTop 5 in this motherfucker and if I don't make the cutWhat, like I give a fuckI'mma light this bitch up like I'm driving a truckTo the side of a pump0 to 60 hop in and gun itLike G-Unit without the hyphen, I'm hypin' 'em upAnd if there should ever come a time where my life's in a rutAnd I look like I might just give up, eh you might've mistookMe for bowing out I ain't taking a bounceStabbing myself with a fucking knife in the gutWhile I'm whiping my buttCause I just shitted on the mic and like getting cutI get excited at the sight of my blood, you better fight with a nutCause I'mma fight 'til I die or winBiting the dust it'll just make me angrierWait, let me remind you of what got me this farPicture me quitting, now draw a circle and put a line through it, slutIt's survival of what?

[Verse 3: Eminem]So get your ideas, stack your ammoBut don't come unless you come to battle, jump in the saddleThis is it, it's what you eat, sleep, piss and shitLift, breathe, your whole existence just consists of thisRefuse to quit, the fuse is lit, can't diffuse the wickIf I don't do this music shit I lose my shitAin't got shit to lose, it's the moment of truthIt's all I know how to doAs soon as I get thrown in the booth, I spitBut my respect is overdueI'm showin' you the flow no one usedI don't own no diploma for school, I quit!So there's nothing for me to fall back on, I know no other traitsSo you'd better trade your fuckin' mics in for some tool-box-esCause you'll never take my pride from meIt’ll have to be pried from meSo pull out your pliers and your screwdriversBut I want you to doubt me, I don't want you to believeCause this is something that I must use to succeedAnd if you don't like me then fuck you!Self esteem must be fuckin' shooting through the roofCause trust meMy skin is too thick and bullet proof to touch meI can see why the fuck I disgust you!I must be allergic to failure cause everytime I come close to it I just sneezeI just go atchoo then achieve!
