Fate lyrics
by Citizen Cope
[Intro]
Survive ruins, was it my doing or fate?
We made it through, we made it through, we made it through
Survive ruins, was it my doing or fate?
Is this pre-scripted or am I doing it great?
We made it through, we made it through, we made it through
(Is it pre-scripted or am I doing it great?)
We made it through
[Verse 1]
In the land of kings, I'm your ace in the hole
Preoccupied with skin, then you're vacant in soul
Young in a haste, you runnin' in place if you chasing a fold
Son, when you earn, value your worth and your paper'll roll
Pro destiny 'til she profess to me, put her faith in the pole
Ain't a page on where the gauges all the ways I reload
Nothing sweet, I couldn't eat from them unsavory rolls
Paid the price on my life to deciph', now breakin' the codes
Book assignments for crooked minors, went straight to the prose
The symbol of grace in genuine place where fake is exposed (Word)
We made it, we made it, we made it, we made it
We made it, we made it, we made it, we made it
These figures is figurative, I'm more literal
Did dirt 'til I had a film, every score original
Living livid, I ain't pivot when it was pivotal
Since Nadel held it stable when sh*t was most critical
How I'm unique is if I speak it, I have visual
But careful, 'cause everything I say is admissible
[Chorus]
Survive ruins, was it my doing or fate? (Survive, baby)
We made it through, we made it through, we made it through
Survive ruins, was it my doing or fate?
Is this pre-scripted or am I doing it great? (Am I doing it great?)
[Verse 2]
Spin lectures that's infectious (Infectious), my strain harsh (Harsh, harsh, harsh)
Your tracks prove like fast food, it's the same farce
They all dippin' on the road to riches, so my lane sparse
Whole story self-incriminating, here's the main parts
Far as opponents, our darkest moments became hearts
Dealt blackjacks over twenty-one, wasn't playin' cards
From cold nights, pray my lowlifes all die supreme
Plan to leap in, but can't be sleepin' tryna find your dream
I'm industrial revolution for Ford, they outta steam
Your hood probably Good Friday, my regime Halloween
To hold the curb, show nerve, never nervous (Never nervous)
I swear these squares ain't our peers as juries read the verdicts
Insight can light a dark path with a better purpose
Will join the task when my boy and them pass it at the service (Rest in peace)
The day you ever display your treasure, they at your chest
Amongst the fallen, we all in ballin', they prayin' for next
[Chorus]
Survive ruins, was it my doing or fate?
We made it through, we made it through, we made it through
Survive ruins, was it my doing or fate?
Is this pre-scripted or am I doing it great?
We made it through, we made it through, we made it through
We made it through, we made it through, we made it through
We made it through, we made it through, we made it through
