Lyrics I Will Survive (Remix) - Chantay Savage , Common

So long, see ya, gotta be out
Mm, mm, mm check it out
So long, see ya, gotta be out
Mm, mm, mm check it out

Yessir, ain't no pressure
It's the rap son of man, gotta understand
I will survive, but this time, it's for Chantay Savage
And lil' Snickolas, and a little bit of common sense

And we gonna go bag it a little different, y'know
Gonna let my man Seth Hurley get on the boys of production
Ain't no more discussion, yeah, yeah, ha ha, uh
(One, two, this is what I do hey)

So long as the beat goes on
So long as the beat goes on, ha
So long as the beat goes on
So long as the beat goes on, now work it out

(So long, buh-buh-bye-bye)
(So long, buh-buh-bye-bye)
(So long, buh-buh-bye-bye) So long
(So long, buh-buh-bye-bye) Got it, out

So long as the beat goes on
So long as the beat goes on, uh
So long as the beat goes on
(One, two, this is what I do hey)

I was afraid
I was petrified
Thinking I could never live without you by my side
And I spent so many nights

Thinking how you did me wrong
But I grew strong, I learned how to get along
So you're back, from outer space
And just walked in to find you here

With that sad look upon your face
I shoulda changed all the locks
I shoulda made you leave your key
If I'da known for just one second

You'd be back to bother me
Oh now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore

Weren't you the the one who
Tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh no not I
I will survive (I will survive)
Oh, as long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive

'Cause I've got all my life to live
And I got all my love to give
And I will survive, I will survive

So long as the beat goes on
So long as the beat goes on, ha
So long as the beat goes on
So long as the beat goes on, now bring it on

Took all the strength I had
Not to fall apart
Trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent so many nights

Feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high
And you see me, with somebody new
I'm not that chained up little person

That's still in love with you
So you feel like droppin' in
And thinkin' that I would be free
Oh now I'm savin' all my love for someone who's lovin' me

Oh now go
Walk out the door
Just turn around now
'Cause you're not welcome anymore, no

Weren't you the the one who
Tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Oh no not I
I will survive (I will survive)
Oh, as long as I know how to love
I know I'll stay alive

'Cause I've got all my life to live
And I got all my love to give
And I will survive
Yes I will yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Down late so I drive, schemin' of ways
Of survivin' this game of life, you soon became my wife
At 22, I came to life, it ain't the same in life
Though it's the pain in life that's makin' me a man

I'm creatin' me a plan, rennovatin' me some land
All my functions and in my thirties, I began to worry
Looked up and I'ma be thirty, hollered at my man Murray
He said Ross, stay sturdy, I juggle

With the struggle, refuse to drug smuggle
Hustle on the subtle, tryin' to stay outta trouble
Got cats stackin' double my scratch, on me
That might come back, about that my old girl warned me

Warning, war's about to kick off, but now you're saucer lickin'
Get your fifth to lick off, with this revolt, Jack
You bett' not trick off, you choke off your brain
The game of survival

If you wanna know
Do I need you? No, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no... (No, oh)
(No, oh, oh) (One, two, this is what I do, hey)

So long, buh-buh-bye-bye
So long, buh-buh-bye-bye (Got it, out)
So long, buh-buh-bye-bye (So long)
So long, buh-buh-bye-bye (Got it, out)

So long as the beat goes on
So long as the beat goes on, now work it out
So long as the beat goes on
So long as the beat goes on, now work it out

So long as the beat goes on
So long as the beat goes on, bring it on ha
So long as the beat goes on
So long as the beat goes on, fo sho

So long as the beat goes on
So long as the beat goes on, uh
So long as the beat goes on
So long as the beat goes on, check it out

So long, see ya, gotta be out
Mm, mm, mm check it out
So long, see ya, gotta be out
Mm, mm, mm check it out

One, two, this is what I do, hey
Lemme come through with some more style that's free
One, two, this is what I do, hey
(Buh-buh-buh-bye-bye-bye)

From the city of wild cults, the gang bang
You heard Chantay on that sh-t summer thing
And then she came back with "I will Survive"
Brothers hear me talkin 'bout that six and five, it's like this

We gotta get it together, check it out so the black man
'Ll be here forever, keep reproducing, keep givin', juicin'
Taking all the sh-t for the black women
Now who's gonna strive? Now who will survive?

Who gonna strive? Now who will survive?
Who gonna strive? Now who will survive?
Who gonna strive for the black women?

One, two, this is what I do, hey (Oh now go)
Lemme come through with some more style that's free
One, two, this is what I do, hey
Lemme come through with some more style that's free

One, two, this is what I do, hey
Lemme come through with some more style that's free
One, two, this is what I do, hey
Lemme come through with some more style that's free
