Survival (Interlude)

Think like, you get people out of survival mode, they start thinking different
I did, you know, when I figured out, you know
How to get myself out of this situation
My approach to life and people was different
I wasn't so angry, I didn't have my guard up
I wasn't so aggressive, I wasn't so, you know, expecting
If you ain't helpin' me, fuck you
It wasn't, that wasn't the mentality no more
And I can't blame nobody, you know what I mean?

That's thinking about how they gon' pay they rent
Or like going through not having food at the house
Being young and having to go outside to hustle, for, for
To feed theyself and school clothes
That's gon' change people, that's gon' make you feel a way
And you can't fault them, you just gotta kind of empathize with the scenario
And understand, you put a person in survival mode, they gon' survive
By any means
