Fourth and Amazing

Verse 1

Concrete

Cold pavement

Pockets empty and the wind is blatant

Fourth and long

Fourth and amazing

Counting coins on the corner while the sun is fading

Stray dogs

Old scars

Looking through the chain link at the fast cars

I was hungry

I was tired

I was broke

Nobody hired the kid with the heavy coat

Looking for a way out

Trying not to stay out

Late nights

Bad sights

Blue lights flickering

Grown men bickering over a nickel bag

Raggedy shoes

Heavy dues

Losing is a habit when you got nothing to lose

Chorus

Survival is the only mission

Survival is the only mission

Survival is the only mission

We living on the edge

We hanging by a thread

Survival is the only mission

Hook

Tryna get up

Tryna get out

Tryna get up

Tryna get out

Verse 2

Struggle

Same hustle

Moving heavy boxes just to flex a little muscle

Fourth and long

Fourth and amazing

Looking at the penthouse while the sewer's blazing

Hard knocks

Small blocks

Keep your secrets locked inside a mental box

Broken glass

Wasted gas

Nobody remembers who was first in the class

They just want the money

They just want the fame

But they don't want the dirt attached to the name

Dirty water

Dry throat

Keeping my head above the tide just to float

Crumpled bills

Cheap thrills

Living for the moment till the winter chills

Chorus

Survival is the only mission

Survival is the only mission

Survival is the only mission

We living on the edge

We hanging by a thread

Survival is the only mission

Hook

Tryna get up

Tryna get out

Tryna get up

Tryna get out

Bridge

Maybe tomorrow

Maybe next week

Maybe never

The outlook is bleak

I see the mountain

I see the climb

I see the top

Running out of time

Running out of breath

Running out of luck

Verse 3

Shadows

Long reach

Lessons that the schoolhouse didn't ever teach

Fourth and long

Fourth and amazing

Thinking 'bout the bridge that I'm currently razing

No help

Self made

Sitting in the gutter just to find a little shade

Hunger pains

Rusty chains

Watching all the effort go right down the drains

Keep pushing

Keep moving

Don't matter if the world is disapproving

Just a ghost

In the coast

Tryna find the thing that I need the most

Chorus

Survival is the only mission

Survival is the only mission

Survival is the only mission

We living on the edge

We hanging by a thread

Survival is the only mission

Hook

Tryna get up

Tryna get out

Tryna get up

Tryna get out
