Desiigner knows the world is struggling right now. He sees the hospitals running out of beds… countries fighting their hardest to contain a novel virus… families stuck inside on lockdown. Realizing that music is one of the only things in the world that can successfully uplift our spirits at this time, the New York native decided to mount a comeback effort, releasing his new single “Survivor.”
It’s been a minute since we’ve heard Desiigner like this. The days of “Panda” and “Tiimmy Turner” are far behind us and, now, Desiigner needs to come up with something to remain relevant in an ever-changing musical landscape. This is his best effort to do so in a long time.
The coronavirus topical record speaks on a number of issues but it always comes back to one major theme: he has survived. And he will continue to keep going.
Desiigner released this song independently after being granted his release from G.O.O.D. Music last year.

[Chorus]
Survivor through the day
We gon’ survive this, on the gang
I ain’t worried ’bout a thing
Baby, I ain’t worried ’bout a thing
I’ve been through fire, fire, flame
Now I’m icy, Krispy Kreme
I ain’t worried ’bout a thing
Baby, I ain’t worried ’bout a thing
[Verse 1]
I survived through the bottom then I made it to the top (Top)
Now I got the white Wraith with the cherry top (Cherry top)
And my boo, she get everything I got (Thing I got)
The carnival, like basketball season, we ball out
They try to divide us like Biggie and Pac (Pac)
Nowaday the media be tryna call the shots (Call the shots)
That fast scoop, yeah that demon I bring out (Skrrt, skrrt)
That mask too, if you act out, I spazz out
[Pre-Chorus]
Numb to the way, I been through fire, flame
Gone again and gone through all that pain (Pain)
I heard some niggas put some dirt up on my name
Baby, we can’t separate (No)
I’m a Lambo driver, babe
I’m a stone cold survivor, babe
I wanna be free and fly miles away (Way)
Baby, we could fly far away (Way)
[Chorus]
Survivor through the day
We gon’ survive this, on the gang (Gang)
I ain’t worried ’bout a thing
Baby, I ain’t worried ’bout a thing (No, no)
I’ve been through fire, fire, flame
Now I’m icy, Krispy Kreme (Ice)
I ain’t worried ’bout a thing
Baby, I ain’t worried ’bout a thing
[Verse 2]
I done see stores, they runnin’ out of food
I been stayin’ in the house
We take hospitals runnin’ out of bed
The world is goin’ in a drought (In a drought)
I just wanna make it out
And you know everything I do, yeah, ain’t for clout
I just wanna make it out
We are the survivors, no we can’t be stopped (Stopped)
Praise out to them people up in Italy, on God (Praise on God)
We notice you, I give every prayer I got (Prayer I got)
These prayers for you, we know family or we die
We see Trump on the news goin’ crazy (Crazy)
USA people goin’ crazy (Crazy)
We just all tryna see another day
From this world, no, we ain’t tryna separate
[Pre-Chorus]
I just got me a Rari, babe
A house for us to party, babe
We gon’ go out, we gon’ celebrate
After this we gon’ fly away (Fly away)
[Chorus]
Survivor through the day
We gon’ survive this, on the gang (Gang)
I ain’t worried ’bout a thing
Baby, I ain’t worried ’bout a thing (No, no)
I’ve been through fire, fire, flame
Now I’m icy, Krispy Kreme (Ice)
I ain’t worried ’bout a thing
Baby, I ain’t worried ’bout a thing
[Outro]
‘Bout a thing
No, no
