Scarlet Kiss - Thrive and Survive Lyrics

Grew up in the city where the streets were cold
Trying to stay alive when the truth unfolds
Every day a new struggle, a new fight
Looking for a way out in the dead of night
Mama always told me to keep my head up high
But all I see around me is nothing but lies
Had to learn the hard way to survive
Now I'm standing here, ready to thrive

This is my story, this is my life
Through all the struggles and all the strife
I'm a survivor, I'm a fighter
In this world, I'm a true igniter
(Oooh, oooh) I'll never back down
(Oooh, oooh) I'll stand my ground
This is my story, this is my life
In this game of survival, I'll thrive

This is my story, this is my life
Through all the struggles and all the strife
I'm a survivor, I'm a fighter
In this world, I'm a true igniter
(Oooh, oooh) I'll never back down
(Oooh, oooh) I'll stand my ground
This is my story, this is my life
In this game of survival, I'll thrive

Lost some friends along the way, it's just the price we pay
In this game of life, gotta find my own way
No handouts, had to grind for every cent
Now I'm making moves, leaving a dent
In this world that's trying to hold me down
But I'm breaking free, ain't no turning around
Got my eyes set on the prize, ready to fly
Living my life, no longer asking why

This is my story, this is my life
Through all the struggles and all the strife
I'm a survivor, I'm a fighter
In this world, I'm a true igniter
(Oooh, oooh) I'll never back down
(Oooh, oooh) I'll stand my ground
This is my story, this is my life
In this game of survival, I'll thrive

This is my story, this is my life
Through all the struggles and all the strife
I'm a survivor, I'm a fighter
In this world, I'm a true igniter
(Oooh, oooh) I'll never back down
(Oooh, oooh) I'll stand my ground
This is my story, this is my life
In this game of survival, I'll thrive

This is my story, this is my life
Through all the struggles and all the strife
I'm a survivor, I'm a fighter
In this world, I'm a true igniter
(Oooh, oooh) I'll never back down
(Oooh, oooh) I'll stand my ground
This is my story, this is my life
In this game of survival, I'll thrive
