VIC MENSA
Will to Survive
[Verse 1: VIC MENSA]
I got urban survival syndrome
Mahogany my skin tone
I’ve seen carnage like [?] my hair and bone
I’ve been roamin’ the globe as you do when in Rome
The king has arrived, the horns blow like a baritone
I’m from where the infantry ride behind enemy lines
Lines we carnivores, hot as the sun, we from the [?]
I put the destiny in my hands like Arthurs sword
Foes they next to my caliber on the battleground, I’m free, I’m actin’ wild
We for the smoke like Black & Mild, I’m black and proud, no backing down
I don’t bury the hatchet, I’d rather carry the ratchet
I rose from the casket, I’m on the road to Damascus
A soldier’s mentality but who’s the real casualty?
They got poles in the Oddesy, in my home is a tragedy
If we won’t revoke then the result is insanity
Call me crazy but this how you make me

[Chorus: Slim da Reazon]
No mercy
No regret
No other way but to fight till the end
No glory
No prize
Just a weapon in my hand and the will to survive
[Verse 2: Slim da Reazon]
Blood in my eyes cried tears of the sun
Where I'm from rather die like a soldier than to run
Makin' sure the wars won if the battle was lost
No matter the cost my block slingin' rocks like a catapult
My iron will was forged in battle, where swords rattle
So many arrows, block out the sun, we fightin' shadows
Cold-blooded but never shiver, I'm loadin' the whole quiver, I'm the one, I'm the killer, I'm a [hun?], I'm a [tiller?]
Aye, yo, when the horns blow
You know it's time for war, grab your sword and go
And yo, no surrender, no retreat
Never bend the knee, only winnin', no defeat, yeah
Death before the sun up baby
Rather fall on my own sword a katana baby
Been fighting all our lives, now our times arrived
Yellin' sacrifice 'cause I won't survive, yeah

[Chorus: Slim da Reazon]
No mercy
No regret
No other way but to fight till the end
No glory
No prize
Just a weapon in my hand and the will to survive

[Verse 3: Elmer Demond]
I am the architect of the flame that consumeth empire
Retire then decide that dreams will expire
Deep from all the waters that cleanse the mind of God
To fight to survive is the price of the sunrise
I exhale the essence that [poison they last truth]
These mammals turn cannibal reason for strange fruit
They stand on they two feet, never offer 'em a knee
Our peaceful response got us dead in the street
[?] and his version will never display the gravity
These moments unkind contextualize tragedy
Jesus flipped tables and show what the Lord willeth
Action to your fightin' an example the Lord giveth
Martin spoke peace but the bullets still stretched him
Then the riots followed and changed our perception
No more debating it's time to accept the message
Assassinate the assassin the only way we'll save him
[Chorus: Slim da Reazon]
No mercy
No regret
No other way but to fight till the end
No glory
No pride
Just a weapon in my hand and the will to survive
