Lyrics Beres Hammond – Survival

Yeah
It’s dog eat dog world out there
Yeah
Gotta be strong to survive, yeah

I cry freedom
For the innocent that’s in captivity
I cry freedom
Yeah, yeah
I cry freedom
My people, you’re robbed of your liberty
I say freedom
Yeah, yeah

For the family that’s gone
To a distant foreign land
To make good for themselves
And the ones that are left back home
Letters once in a while
Can bring a little smile
My letters can have you
And sure can explain heeds that to the pain

I say freedom
For the colors that’s discriminated upon
I cry freedom
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I cry freedom
Woman have what you take and as much as you can
Cry freedom, yeah, yeah

For the ordinary men
Whether’s little did he plan

I cry freedom
For all the young minds that they led astray
I cry freedom
Yeah, yeah, oh, God
I cry freedom
Bullies everywhere, today’s the day
I cry freedom
Yeah, yeah, yeah

For your book of rules that says
Getting rich is not my kind of business
I got things for you, my friend
I’m gonna fight it right to the end
I toil and toil even when my back hurts
I still feel the dream
Though sometimes I get weak
Still mine stepped up
And to fortify

I cry freedom
For all the principles my ancestors died for
I cry freedom, yes
Yeah, yeah, oh
I cry freedom
For the little they give and take mine more
I cry freedom
Yeah, yeah

I cry freedom
For my little sisters, they turned to slaves
I cry freedom, yes
Yeah, yeah
I cry freedom
For those who reach out and never had, sleep good
Freedom
