[Verse 1:]
Babygirl don't ever let nobody push you but yourself-
U gotta take care of you cuz if you do you'll never fail.
Expect them to respect u- N accept you for the way you are-
Stay aimin for the top- the limit is the stars.
Stay focused on your goals- gotta sav it out
To the extreme- fulfillin all your dreams-
Don't let nobody ever get between-
U and your belief on who N how you choose to be-
Accept reality because the truth will set you free.
I know its hard but its the price you gotta pay-
To better who you are- you better learn from your mistakes.
Seek comfort in a man only if hes gonna do you right-
Understand that this is life-
And if you're strong- you will survive....
And I'm just suggestin that you only trust yourself-
Because there ain't no second guessin when you trust in no-one else-
Let me lace you with some truth because I practice what I preach-
Cuz everything I say I do.
The livin proof is me.

[Hook:]
Girl. Listen babygirl.
I'm gonna lace you with some truth
On how you gotta live your life.
Girl. I am talkin to u..
Only the strong survive.

[Verse 2:]
Now I'ma speak on all you beezees runnin round N bein sleezy-
Think you're nasty- think you're freaky- but the homies know it's easy
Lettin everyone up in- N there you go again-
There you go actin like a hoe again.
I think you need to know that us a scandelous hoe- scandelous hoe.
You're only out to play your tricks.
Wonder why they call you b*tch. But it is just what it is.
Its the b*tches like you that make it hard for women just like me-
N all the scandelous sh*t you do affects the life I try to lead...
You're shady- but maybe you might have the heart to change-
Cuz I admit that no-one's perfect N we all can make mistakes-
But you know that you deserve it
If you keep inflictin pain on yourself cuz if you don't
Then this is how you will remain-
N you cant do nobody else if you ain't doin for yourself-
So just refuse to ever fail N if you're strong- you will prevail.
So now's your chance to choose to move ahead or stay behind-
Stay true to you N don't be weak up in the mind-
So do what you gotta do so you can be that living proof-
U gotta prove that only the strong survive....

[Hook:]
Girl. Listen babygirl.
I'm gonna lace you with some truth
On how you gotta live your life.
Girl. I am talkin to u..
Only the strong survive.

[Verse 3:]
This last Verse has a message N its gotta be directed-
To all you females stressin bein mistreated N neglected-
Ya feindin for attention so ya seekin the affection-
Of a man with bad intentions- now hes got ya getting naked-
N he's gonna get to runnin u- ya laid up in the bed-
U really think he's lovin u?- it's all up in your head-
N when he's done N had enough of u- that's all you're gonna get-
And then hes gonna step- ya boy pac said it best.
Keep ya head up- legs closed- eyes open.
U need to hear just what I said because you just ain't knowin-
That you ain't gotta use your body if you only use your mind-
N I am speakin from experience but I left that life behind-
Because I been there- I done that- I don't want that-
Believe me I ain't frontin N I refuse to ever go back-
So don't be deaf to what I say- don't be naive- just use your mind-
Open up your eyes N you can see cuz you ain't blind-
Until then understand that you ain't no man's b*tch-
N you ain't gotta be like this- so babygirl you need to switch.
Wonder why they call you b*tch.
