[Chorus: Chief Wakil] They tell me that I wouldn't survive this long But I'm still alive, Uh-Oh Uh-Oh Uh-Oh [Verse 1: JQ Sirls] Uh I've been beat up and bruised Used and abused Soul wore down and tossed like old shoes When my mind lost hope And my body stopped breathing My heart stepped in and it beat in believing There was more to life than this season I tread through the storm with wounds that healing Backpack packed with pain that's still bleeding Death grip squeeze I got to proceed I live through constant struggles But they won't be my end Living fearfully Not turning back where I began Abused, beaten, broken Spirit feels it dying But as long as I'm living I pick myself and get back up I won't let my fear Be my downfall So I use it as fuel to make my doubt fall I choose to stay alive A champ in disguise Like a legend on the rise I will survive [Hook: Chief Wakil] They tell me that I wouldn't survive this long But I'm still alive, Uh-Oh Uh-Oh Uh-Oh They tell me that I wouldn't survive this long But I'm still alive, Uh-Oh Uh-Oh Uh-Oh [Chorus: Chief Wakil] You thought you'd kill me Only made me stronger Surprised to survive a little longer Uh-Oh Uh-Oh You thought you'd kill me Only made me stronger Surprised to survive a little longer Uh-Oh Uh-Oh [Verse 2: Chief Wakil] Another day Another fear I fight with The lie in my mind says I won't survive it But I'm like Ali A champ who I be Tell the devil, "Better not catch you by me!" But I gotta realize it But you don't understand all the B.S. I get Life is like a 90s bout vs Tyson Any second I can go down I might as well give up Negative Scratch that get up Look up at the giant that you face right now And hit him POW Even if he don't go down Keep going even though it's been four rounds Cause everything don't happen when you want it to As long as you're alive Strive for the W And that's word from the W Cause you're a winner still living through The things that troubled you [Hook: Chief Wakil] [Chorus 2: Chief Wakil] You thought you'd kill me Only made me stronger Surprised to survive a little longer Uh-Oh Uh-Oh You thought you'd kill me Only made me stronger Surprised to survive a little longer Uh-Oh Uh-Oh I'm a survivor, I'm a survivor I'm a survivor, I'm a survivor Uh-Oh Uh-Oh Say I'm a survivor, I'm a survivor I'm a survivor, I'm a survivor Uh-Oh Uh-Oh [Verse 3: JQ Sirls] It's hard to weight the constant struggles That you're dwelling in Thin chance of living through it all So you give in And give up You're one percent of faith you were leaning on Weak from the storm because it last too long but Keep walking forward Because you're a champion When they knock you down You get up and you attack again And keep grinding believing you'll see the sun again Dodge till you find an in TKO it for the win There's a reason why you journey like this You'll see it in the end It'll all make sense Kings and Queens will see legend in the midst Who looked fear in the eye And resist to enlist in the war on the side Of folks who never try Rather die and deny their chance to survive but You gotta stay strong You gotta carry through the pain You'll arise You'll survive it alive [Hook] [Chorus 2]

[ Verse 1: JQ Sirls] Uh I was five when I first saw Ten when I held on Twelve when I gripped on my dream I Never let a bullet from the lips of gun-shot bleed doubt Dream non-stop I Bleed resilience, my fearless blood trail Burns a light path for dreamers Gleaming through the self-doubt deceivers Lungs breathe bull to exhale believers Gotta run back Unlocking the doors so the truth got a shot A throne means nothing by yourself at the top While you spit bullshit while the kids gotta rot? You can call me Moses My is a purpose to lead the roses I got you Yes, don't worry I got you And if I don't got you I'm right beside you I'm never held down Houdini in a box and your locks No sir can't stop me And if you get in my way The path of a train better move No sir, can't stop me You can smell it in the air Grab a drink Put your glass in the air Don't stress your fate cause I swear We're champions Yes You're already there [Hook] Where you gonna go? See you can close your eyes And leave it all behind But where you gonna go? You gotta stay alive So don't you dare hide And don't you [Chorus] Hideaway It'll be a long road Wipe your shoes off Walk straight Chin up man And don't you Hideaway In the pain you drift Attitude shift Walk straight Chin up man And don't you Hideaway It'll be a long road Wipe your shoes off Walk straight Chin up man And don't you Hideaway [Verse 2] Tell me Why you Rather give up to sit up and sit in the dark Than to let up and get up and follow your heart beat Nah Because you'd rather fake smart than to test drive You'd rather live dead than to die alive To afraid of fate to a faith dive To high from pride to let God drive No trust that you'll survive Before you suicide hope Sue a side-tracker you sold that joke That you are a peon A knee on your throat It's better to stay down and choke And give up the hope But nah I know you see the sun son Sunshine on the mind for the grind Hey You got guts time to act like you got some Then get up and get out your way [Hook] Where you gonna go? See you can close your eyes And leave it all behind But where you gonna go? You gotta stay alive So don't you dare hide And don't you [Chorus] Hideaway It'll be a long road Wipe your shoes off Walk straight Chin up man And don't you Hideaway In the pain you drift Attitude shift Walk straight Chin up man And don't you Hideaway It'll be a long road Wipe your shoes off Walk straight Chin up man And don't you Hideaway

[Verse 1] Someone save me I think I’m lost again My mind is stranded, abandoned Chained by the mannequins I don’t know where this is Or where this is begins Or where it ends I’m incarcerated with a sin I move in circles and hurdles Handled by others’ will I see the truth But in fear of death I deny it still I live in boxes on boxes Trapped with a gun to kill The will from within To make me hollow like the rest of them I’m the boy with no purpose Who makes the streets his focus I’m the girl with no focus Who leaves her body open I’m the man barely floating From a job where he’s choking And the woman he’s choking Staying not to provoke him I’m the parent who's needs for getting Bleeds from their children A hopeless child who thinks dreams are a joke That they’re missing I lost my way Okay But that’s the last it’s happening I broke the mold I’m plastic free Release me from the mannequins [Chorus 4x] This is the end The end of the Mannequins Let me go Release me [Verse 2] Blind from the lies Deaf to the hate I smell the bull Because there ain’t a mask on my face If this is a competition I don’t want to race Playing with the walking dead Running in the wrong race Hollow minds paper-chasing just to fill the space To seal the emptiness with paper-cuts and dead weight Prostituted from the cash of the Devil’s plate Infect the radio and zombify the human race What does it mean to be a mediocre king With followers injected with a mediocre dream Deflecting your projections on their inner worth it seems For your cancerous direction burning deep inside their veins Lets Get with the change Melting the molds Plastic or not The truth will unfold Yeah you were washed Time and again But now you’re off the clock I release you from the mannequins
