that old real shit
prodigy
there’s 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’ with your 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 onedouble i touch you
and leave you with not much to go home with
my skin is thick cause i be up in the mix of action
if i’m not at home puffin’ lye relaxin’
new york got a nigga depressed
so i wear a slugproof 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
havoc
yo yo 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
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
havoc
i’m trapped in between two worlds tryin’ to get dough
y’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
fiveoh lurkin’ 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 with you
hit with 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 with 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 outclever
if beef we never separate and pull together
when worse comes to worst my peoples come first
try to react and get them motherfuckin’ feelings hurt
my crew’s all about lootfuck lookin’ cute
i’m strictly timb boots and army certified suits
puffin l’s laid back enjoyin’ the smell
in the gettin’ down it ain’t hard to tell
you better realize
mobb deep
yo yo 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
we livin’ this ’til the day that we die
survival of the fit only the strong survive
