(Thug life, we still livin' it)
Fuck lookin' cute, I'm strictly Timb boots and army certified suits
You shook, 'cause ain't no such things as halfway crooks
It's similar to Vietnam
And to the drama I built and all unfinished beef
(We still livin' it)
Look in the eyes and get wise
Survival of the fit only the strong survive
Niggaz usin' fake names to get out quick
They better have the riot gear ready
(We still livin' it)
My skin is thick, 'cause I be up in the mix of action
We livin' this 'til the day that we die
Five oh, lurkin', no time to get lost in the system
We livin' this 'til the day that we die
(We still livin' it)
Wild on the streets I try to maintain
But shit happens for a reason
By the mac one double, I touch you
I'm goin' out blastin', takin' my enemies with me
If beef, we never seperate and pull together
No matter how much loot I get I'm stayin' in the projects, forever
It's like mixin' vodka and milk
(Survival of the fit only the strong)
Illegal world where squads hit the block hard
So I wear a slug proof underneath my guess
We livin' this 'til the day that we die
We livin' this 'til the day that we die
I'll be on the block hustlin' countin' my stacks
They never around when the beef cooks in my part of town
I'm trapped, in between two worlds, tryin' to get dough y'know
Or maybe it's the words from my man Killa Black
(Thug life, we still livin' it)
Ask my man twin when he got bagged, that fucked me up God
Puffin' L's, laid back, enjoyin' the smell
Some niggaz like to trick but I ain't wit that trickin' shit
Survival of the fit only the strong survive
Survival of the fit only the strong survive
Lord forgive me the Hennesey got me not knowin' how to act
Hypnotic thug life, get that ass paralyzed
That old real shit
There's a war goin' on outside, no man is safe from
When worse comes to worse and my peoples come first
Now we all grown up and old, and beyond the cop's control
You will soon be killed, put us together
Yo, yo, we livin' this 'til the day that we die
Tight with my loot, 'cause hoes like to run game
Survival of the fit only the strong survive
From these, streets that we done took
If I'm not at home, puffin' lye relaxin'
Pushin' a Lex, now I'm set, ready to jet
Jakes on the blocks we out clever
No doubt, watchin' my back and proceed with caution
(We still livin' it)
And if not, they scarred, so they will never forget me
Survival of the fit only the strong survive
God bless my soul, before I put my foot down and begin to stroll
We livin' this 'til the day that we die
As long as fiends smoke crack
You can't find a shorty to troop your bid witchu
My goal's to stay alive
I'm fallin' and I can't turn back
Look alive, in ninety five, word up
We livin' this 'til the day that we die
You walkin' witcha head down scared to look
In the bridge gettin' down it ain't hard to tell, you better realize
(The strong survive)
You find out who's your true peoples when you're upstate bleedin'
My brother did it and got bagged with two ounces
Tryin' to bag me and get rock steady
When the dough get low the jewels go, but never that
My crew's all about loot
And leave you with not much to go home wit
(We livin' this 'til the day that we die)
Survival of the fit only the strong survive
We livin' this 'til the day that we die
Survival of the fit only the strong survive
Survival of the fit only the strong survive
You could run, but you can't hide forever
(Thug life, we still livin' it)
I'm like a Jew, savin' dough so I can big whip
Try to react and get them motherfuckin' feelings hurt
New York got a nigga depressed
Survival of the fit only the strong survive
Hit wit a 2 to 4 it's difficult
That I can't say so it's left a untold fact, until my death
