"Survivors" Lyrics

Let me tell a story about a kid I know
Jeremiah was a dude who you've probably seen before
Quiet kind of type, he was struggling at school
Grades were below average, sound familiar to you?
Teachers couldn't help him, plus they didn't care
They'd just send him to the office and they'd send him right back
But there's something 'bout him that nobody knows

Yeah...
Look...
Imagine waking up everyday to see through a lens that is grey
And physically sick from the emotional pain
Getting bullied to the point you wanna open your veins
Hoping to god that it won't happen all over again
But it does,
His name was Jeremiah, exterior made of stone
But inside there was a fire
It one day ignited in him, now he is a fighter
And all he did was believe in himself, all you gotta do is try

I'm a survivor
No matter what the storm brings, I'll see tomorrow
Tryna break me down, but I still remain strong
You won't see the day come around when I fall
Hell no
Cos I'm a survivor
Okay, okay you won't get me today
I'm a survivor
Okay, okay you won't get me today

Let me tell a tale, about a special girl
Tahlia's her name, she was pretty like a pearl
For that exact reason, people thought she had it all
Cos looks these days all people care about
Beneath the big smiles and wishing welling tears?
She's been crying herself to sleep for many years
Something 'bout Tahlia you don't know

Look...
She is a beautiful human being
Clever for her age and the coolest...
We got people unaware about Tahila's little secret
It's probably because she thinks no one will ever believe her
You wouldn't know if you seen her, but she a victim of paedophilia
A coward that raped and mistreat her
And needing someone that she can talk to about her feelings
And telling someone this stuff she's too embarrassed to leak it, damn?
So many tears dropped, over the years but
When he got put behind the bars all them tears stopped
Now she fears not, nothing at all now
Definition of what this song is about

I'm a survivor
No matter what the storm brings, I'll see tomorrow
Tryna break me down, but I still remain strong
You won't see the day come around when I fall
Hell no
Cos I'm a survivor
Okay, okay you won't get me today
I'm a survivor
Okay, okay you won't get me today
I'm a survivor
Okay, okay you won't get me today
I'm a survivor
Okay, okay you won't get me today

It isn't about the situation you in for real
It's really what you can make of it
Cos at the end of the day, you can change your mind state that you in
Or you can let the same shitty record spin
Pain, I know that all too well
In this lifetime you gotta take more than a few more l's?
I too have felt it, but I never pelt it?
Yeah I could've drowned it or put a rope around it, just like a coward,
my life too precious
When life get hectic, just take a second
To breathe, inhale, exhale, that's it
Don't ever, ever, ever, ever think you ain't special
Cos you are

I'm a survivor
No matter what the storm brings, I'll see tomorrow
Tryna break me down, but I still remain strong
You won't see the day come around when I fall
Hell no
Cos I'm a survivor
Okay, okay you won't get me today
I'm a survivor
Okay, okay you won't get me today
I'm a survivor
Okay, okay you won't get me today
I'm a survivor
Okay, okay you won't get me today...
