Joey Badass - Survivors Guilt Lyrics



Joey Badass - Survivors Guilt Lyrics
Official




I thought I was goin' crazy, you know?
+
And like, I realized that I wasn't the one that was crazy
+
I realized that it's the system that was built against me, you know?
+
And like, I'm not supposed to be talkin' about this
+
And that's the corruption of it, because like me just sayin' it is absurd
+
And I want people to open up their eyes and realize that I'm not wrong, you know?
+
I-I'm, I'm just a open-minded individual and people should be more open-minded
+
If, if we tryna build up our lives to have material things
+
And those don't satisfy our needs, what are we livin' for?
+
Yeah, right
+
Come on
+
(Alright)
+
This one is for you, oh-oh
+
This one is for you, oh (it's for you, for you, for you)
+
This one is for you, oh-oh
+
This one is for you, oh (it's for you, for you, for you) (it's alright)
+
Steezy told me, "Get 'em," so I got 'em (got 'em)
+
Now my nigga gone, he will never be forgotten (never)
+
Ever since he left I just been strugglin' without him (uh-huh)
+
'Cause I remember linkin' after school and we'd be plottin' (plottin')
+
Talk about our problems and what we'd do about 'em (yeah)
+
Journalin' and jottin', we ain't know the world was watchin' (facts)
+
We was just two kids tryna make it out the bottom (uh-huh)
+
Now I'm rich and rotten, every day I think about him
+
It's survivor's guilt, wishin' I coulda stopped him
+
Let alone just know how he feel
+
Lyrically couldn't top him, he was the nigga with the belt (uh-huh)
+
Yeah, and that's real rap
+
I couldn't do this shit without him and that's just fact
+
You see, if you ain't know Steelo then you really don't know me though (no)
+
And that's how I separate all the real from fake people (yeah)
+
All the real from fake fans (uh-huh)
+
Who claimin' that they stans (uh-huh)
+
But they ain't know my mans until the very end (no)
+
Wish he was still here, I swear it feels weird
+
How people could accuse me for his death
+
Sometimes I gotta shed a real tear (yeah)
+
You see the truth about Steelo, he lacked the mental health (he did)
+
But tried to tell that to people way back in 2012 (I can't)
+
But now that it's a mainstream topic
+
I'm guessin' I can finally open up and talk about it
+
So, yeah, let's talk about it (yeah)
+
Come into my mind I'll show you what the darkest cloud is
+
You ready? I doubt it
+
But let's go, you see Steelo was my bigger bro (uh-huh)
+
At a point in time spiritually we was in the same boat, but
+
I wanted to take it slow
+
He wanted to take it as fast and deep as he could go, pause
+
Yeah we had some problems but we're brothers though, sure
+
Then I caught a little wave and headed back to shore
+
And that's when he started drownin' and he had no one around him
+
So partially I feel it's my fault (ayy)
+
And that right there is my internal war (uh-huh)
+
The reason why I gotta feel these external flaws
+
The reason why I can't heal this eternal loss
+
The reason why I gotta feel this survivor's remorse
+
And here's a message to his fam
+
I know y'all got emotional trauma that I understand
+
But I couldn't f*ck with, y'all try to tell the world I wasn't who I am
+
When all I ever tried to do was lend a hand (that wasn't cool)
+
And give the fans the thing that they demand the most
+
King Capital, the f*ckin' GOAT, word
+
I'm just tryna get my nigga heard
+
Get him what he deserve
+
This one is for you, oh-oh
+
This one is for you, oh (it's for you, for you, for you)
+
This one is for you, oh-oh
+
This one is for you, oh (it's for you, for you, for you) (it's alright)
+
Yeah
+
And R.I.P. my cousin Junior B (R.I.P.)
+
Y'all ain't know too much about him so it's up to me (it's up to me)
+
To share his legacy with the world
+
It kills me to think he'll never meet my baby girl (shh)
+
And when I lost Jun' that hurt me in the worst way (worst way)
+
He even died two days before his birthday (his birthday)
+
Damn, it brings tears to my eyes
+
My nigga really never made it up to twenty-five (damn)
+
That's why I'm thankin' God every time I open my eyes (uh-huh)
+
At the fact that we alive and we feelin' these vibes (vibes)
+
'Cause we be fillin' these voids, part of me got destroyed (facts)
+
When I lost my boys it's like I lost my voice (uh-huh)
+
It took me all of this time just to put it in song (songs)
+
Because I'm still dealin' with the fact my niggas is gone (yup)
+
Write they names up on a cloud 'cause that's where they belong (uh-huh)
+
As long as I live on, they'll forever be known
+
This one for you
+
This one for, yeah
+
This one is for you, oh-oh
+
This one is for you, oh (it's for you, for you, for you)
+
(Yo, you'll forever me known, this one for you)
+
This one is for you, oh-oh
+
This one is for you, oh (it's for you, for you, for you)
+
This one is for you, oh-oh
+
This one is for you, oh (it's for you, for you, for you)
+
Ayy, I'm off the
+
I'm off the Deleon neat, Deleonest
+
So I'ma make this quick, you know
+
Pastor black lip back on that shit
+
True story, look, so I'm in New York for my first time
+
One of my first times and I'm, I'm playin' my, my
+
One of my first albums for the big homie
+
And he got these kids in there, they just on skateboards
+
I'm like yo that's super cool, this guy got the kids out here
+
You know, keepin' the kids off of the streets, right?
+
So, fast forward a year later
+
I go back to New York and then I meet this kid
+
He's like, "Yeah man, I don't know if you remember me
+
But me and my homies, the Pro Era"
+
Crazy, I was like, "Oh yeah? What's your name?" He say, "Capital Steez"
+
I said, "Okay, for sure"
+
Fast forward, my boy Doe, called me, "Doe Burger"
+
That nigga called me and say, "Yo, you heard these kids, the Pro Era? Joey Bada$$?"
+
I'm like, "Yeah yeah, I met the kid Capital Steez, they crazy"
