a war goin' on outside
no man is safe from
You could run but you can't
hide forever
From these streets that we
done took
You walkin' witcha head down
scared to look
You shook 'cause ain't no such
things as halfway crooks
They never around when the beef
cooks in my part of town
It's similar to Vietnam
Now we all grown up and old,
and beyond the cops' control
They better have the riot gear ready
Tryin' to bag me and get rocked steady
By the MAC one-double,
I I touch you
And leave you with not much
to go home wit'
My skin is thick,
'cause I be up in the mix of ac tion
If I'm not at home, puffin' la,
relaxin'
New York got a nigga depressed
So I wear a slug-proof underneath
underneath my Guess
God bless my soul,
before I put my foot down and begin to stroll
Into the drama I built,
and all unfinished beef
You will soon be killed,
put us together
It's like mixin' vodka and milk
I'm goin' out blastin',
takin' my enemies with me
And if not, they scarred,
so they will never forget me
Lord, forgive me the Hennessy got
me not knowin' how to act
I'm fallin' and I can't turn back
Or maybe it's the words
from my man Killa Black
That I can't say so it's left a untold fact,
until my death
My goal's to stay alive
Survival of the fit only the
strong survive
Yo, yo
We livin' this 'til the
day that we die
Sur vival of the fit only the
strong survive
(We still livin' it)
We livin' this 'til the
day that we die
Survival of the fit only the
strong survive
(Thug life, we still livin' it)
We livin' this 'til the day that we die
Survival of the fit only the
strong survive
(We still livin' it)
We livin' this 'til the day that we die
(We livin' this 'til the
day that we die)
Survival of the fit only the strong
survive
(Survival of the fit only
the strong)
I'm trapped, in between two worlds,
tryna get dough
Ya know when the dough get low the jewels go,
but never that
As long as fiends smoke crack
I'll be on the block hustlin',
countin' my stacks
No doubt, watchin' my back and
proceed with caution
Five-oh lurkin',
no no time to get lost in the system
Niggas usin' fake names
to get out quick
My brother did it and got bagged
with two ounces
I live a world where squads
hit the block hard
Ask my man Twin when he got bagged,
that fucked me up, God
But shit happens for a reason
You find out who's your true peoples when
you're upstate bleedin'
You can't find a shorty
to troop your bid witchu
Hit wit a two to four is difficult
Wild on the streets I try to maintain
Tight with my loot,
'cause hoes like to run game
Some niggas like to trick but I
ain't wit that trickin' shit
I'm like a Jew,
savin' dough so I can big whip
Pushin' a Lex, now I'm set, ready to jet
No matter how much loot I get I'm stayin' in the projects,
forever
Jakes on the blocks we out-clever
If If beef,
we never separate and pull together
When worse comes to worse
and my peoples come first
Try to react and get
them motherfuckin' feelings hurt
My crew's all about loot
Fuck lookin' cute,
I'm strictly Timb' boots and army certified suits
Puffin Ls, laid back, enjoyin' the smell
In the Bridge gettin' down it
ain't hard to tell
You better realize
We livin' this 'til the day that we die
Survival of the fit only the
strong survive
(We still livin' it)
We livin' this 'til the
day that we die
Sur vival of the fit only the
strong survive
(Thug life, we still livin' it)
We livin' this 'til the
day that we die
Survival of the fit only the strong
survive
(We still livin' it)
We livin' this 'til the day that we die
Survival of the fit only the
strong survive
(Thug life,
we still livin' it) (the strong survive)
