Survival Lyrics - The Marshall Mathers Lp 2 - Eminem

This is survival of the fittest 

This is do or die 

This is the winner takes it all 

So take it all, a-all, a-all, a-all 

Wasn't ready to be no millionaire, I was ill-prepared 

I was prepared to be ill though, the skill was there 

From the beginning, it wasn't 'bout the ends 

It was 'bout busting raps and standing for something - fuckin' acronym 

Cut the fucking act like you're happy, I'm fucking back again 

With 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 enough 

Throw me to them wolves and close the gate up 

I'm afraid of what'll happen to them wolves, when the thought 

Of being thrown into an alligator pit, I salivate at it, wait is up 

Hands up like it's 12 noon, nah homie, hold them bitches straighter up 

Wave 'em 'til you dislocate a rotator cuff, came up rough 

Came to ruffle feathers, nah, egos, I ain't deflate enough 

Last chance to make this whole stadium erupt

Cause this is survival of the fittest 

This is do or die 

This is the winner takes it all 

So take it all, a-all, a-all, a-all 

I can see the finish line with each line that I finish 

I'm so close to my goals, I can almost pole vault over the goal post 

And if I don't got enough in the tank, maybe I can just siphon enough 

To fill up this last can, man will I survive in this climate or what? 

They said I was washed up, and got a blood bath 

I'm not a rapper, I'm an adapter - I can adjust 

Plus, I can just walk up to a mic and just bust 

So, floor's open if you'd like to discuss 

Top 5 in this mothafucka and if I don't make the cut, what? 

Like I give a fuck but I light this bitch up like I'm driving a truck 

Through the side of a pump, 0 to 60 hop in and gun it 

Like G-Unit without the hyphen, I'm hyping 'em up 

And if there should ever come a time where my life's in a rut 

And I look like I might just give up, eh, might've mistook 

Me for bowing out I ain't taking a bow, I'm stabbing myself 

With a fucking knife in the gut, while I'm wiping my butt 

Cause I just shitted on the mic and I like getting cut 

I get excited at the sight of my blood, you're in a fight with a nut 

Cause I'mma fight 'til I die or win, biting the dust, it'll just make me angrier 

Wait, let me remind you of what got me this far, picture me quitting 

Now draw a circle around it and put a line through it, slut 

It's survival of what?

This is survival of the fittest 

This is do or die 

This is the winner takes it all 

So take it all, a-all, a-all, a-all 

So take it all, a-all, a-all, a-all 

So get your ideas, stack your ammo 

But don't come unless you come to battle, now mount up, jump in the saddle 

This is it - it's what you eat, sleep, piss and shit 

Live, breathe, your whole existence just consists of this 

Refuse to quit, fuse is lit, can't defuse the wick 

If I don't do this music shit, I'll lose my shit 

Ain't got shit to lose, it's the moment of truth 

It's all I know how to do as soon as I get thrown in a booth, I spit 

But my respect is overdue, I'm showing you the flow no one do 

Cause I don't own no diploma for school, I quit 

So there's nothing for me to fall back on, I know no other trade 

So you'd better trade your fucking mics in for some tool-box-es 

Cause you'll never take my pride from me, it'll have to be pried from me 

So pull out your pliers and your screwdrivers 

But I want you to doubt me, I don't want you to buh-lieve 

Cause this is something that I must use to succeed 

And if you don't like me then fuck you 

Self-esteem must be fucking shooting through-the-roof cause trust me 

My skin is too thick and bullet proof to touch me 

I can see why the fuck I disgust you 

I must be allergic to failure, cause everytime I come close to it 

I just sneeze but I just go atchoo then A-chieve! 

This is survival of the fittest 

This is do or die 

This is the winner takes it all 

So take it all, a-all, a-all, a-all 

So take it all, a-all, a-all, a-all
