Trying To Survive In Gi(remix) Lyrics - Singles - Deanna Nicole

It's nearly impossible to chase the dream you chasing after 

when every step forward feels like 20 backwards, 

trying to survive in GI where bullets fly.. 

living in the murder cap it's do or die. 

Murda Murda kill kill all we see on TV 

shawty hustle for the bill tryna live that fantasy 

/toting pistols keep em close cause its hate and 

jealousy/scared to look u in yo' eyes 

best believe they frenemies/undercover 

but they really scoping/ smiling 

but they really hoping and praying 

you lose yo focus/ and dreams really 

go unnoticed/ they shooting na but 

our hands up/I'm black so it's 

just a pay cut/that's telling us we 

ain't worth nothing/ unjustified no 

brainstorming/unbothered by it so I keep going/ 

got the hustle in me so I keep flowing/ 

drop top more coins/ dream big my point/ 

why stop not going/ too many ppl that depend on me 

/ focus and keeping control/ 

put on my city is really the goal/ 

we making the music you feel in yo soul/ 

so many stories going untold/ 

either u drinking or keeping one rolled/ 

that's how we do it/ that's how we cope yo/ 

that's half the battle we keep it moving like cattle/ 

nothing really else matters but money music and talent! 

It's nearly impossible to chase the dream you 

chasing after when every step forward feels 

like 20 backwards, trying to survive in GI 

where bullets fly.. living in the murder cap it's do or die. 

I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired 

Now-a-days life is only all about who you decide can ride 

Kanye Trump and Hillary in my eyes 

Are some pitiful individuals especially when they're politicized 

Now in all honesty who really cares 

Bout a VMA, E-mail, or whether that's really your hair 

The bigger picture bout preserving life 

Minority death has become an epidemic and that shit ain't right 

Now see when we decide to rebel 

And refused to be put to the back 

our choices are death or jail 

Now tell me where's the Justice in that 

And to add insult to injury my people still follow they map 

So from this point on I'm through preaching peace 

No more talks of unity all I can commit to is me doing me 

Only advice I can give you get ready 

And pay attention to detail cuz when shit get heavy! 

It's nearly impossible to chase the dream 

you chasing after when every step forward 

feels like 20 backwards, trying to survive in GI 

where bullets fly.. living in the murder cap it's do or die. 

Having dreams in G.I., as a lil girl meant the world 

to get up out the hood, never knew another way, 

besides getting, to this money, my mama told me, 

ain't nobody out here gone do nothing for me, 

not even family, so I gotta get up n get it, 

having visions and plotting missions, 

penitentiary's no decision, but the government 

got permission, to receive commission, for 

admission of all these young black fathers, 

look what poverty taught us, 

all these youngin's just, think that it's 

cool to smoke in 6th grade, skip 

and ditch school, not learning a thang, 

riding around carrying guns, smiling 

at mothers for taking their sons, man, 

scary Gary the murda cap, tryna make it 

off this rap before I'm laid out on my back, 

praying to God, he watching my son, 

hoping he live to see 21, the G don't support, 

it's no one or all, but one for all, we destined to fall, 

cause that's what they want, 

and that's what they think, 

that we gone follow into their defeat, 

and we not gone make it 

if all of my people keep killing, 

and smoking, and drinking, while thinking, 

It's nearly impossible to chase the dream 

you chasing after when every step forward 

feels like 20 backwards, 

trying to survive in GI where bullets fly.. 

living in the murder cap it's do or die.
