Q-tip - I'm Just Tryna Survive (In the Big City) lyrics

[Intro:] Trying to survive [x3] [Verse 1:] So you made it here with everyone And you dig the fun and the air is fine But, soon you'll realize it ain't so Cuz big brother's on your back And you gotta take control [Chorus:] I'm just trying to survive in this big city You're just trying to survive oh And I'm just trying to survive in this big city You're just trying to survive oh [Verse 2:] I see we're all in this together And I see we're all falling for so many endeavors Like all on Twitter, IG and Facebook I don't know how I got caught in this book [Chorus] [Verse 3:] Ghetto style and the subject is making dollars But taxes in higher brackets is making me wanna holler We starving the Marvin Who's carving the apple pie we're eating Somebody is clearly cheating Benefits we ain't receiving Live legal and must be people trying to be fly like the eagle that's printed on all our paper So we plotting holy papers No, we want to aspire, but nobody's getting high Then, we have to be provided so we gotta be surviving [Chorus:] I'm just trying to survive in this big city And I'm just trying to survive And I'm just trying to survive in this big city And I'm just trying to survive oh And you know I am too (Survive, survive, survive) [x3] Survive, survive, survive [x3] Survive Survive, survive, survive Survive [Chorus:] And I'm just trying to survive in this big city And you're just trying to survive oh And I'm just trying to survive in this big city And you're just trying to survive You know I am too (too, too, too) (too, too, too, too, too, too) And I'm just trying to survive in this big city And I'm just trying to survive
