Mobb Deep › Lyrics › Survival of the Fittest

Yeah, sendin' this one out, to my man Killa B
No doubt indeed, without weed, knowhatI'msayin'?
That old real s***

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' witcha head down scared to look

You shook, 'cause ain't no such things as halfway crooks
They never around when the b*** cooks in my part of town
It's similar to Vietnam
Now we all grown up and old, and beyond the cop's control

They better have the riot gear ready
Tryin' to bag me and get rock steady
By the mac one double, 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 action
If I'm not at home, puffin' lye relaxin'
New York got a nigga depressed
So I wear a slug proof underneath my guess

God bless my soul, before I put my foot down and begin to stroll
And to the drama I built and all unfinished b***
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 Hennesey 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
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
(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, 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
Five oh, lurkin', no time to get lost in the system
Niggaz usin' fake names to get out quick
My brother did it and got bagged with two ounces

Illegal world where squads hit the block hard
Ask my man twin when he got bagged, that f***** me up God
But s*** 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 2 to 4 it's difficult
Wild on the streets I try to maintain
Tight with my loot, 'cause hoes like to run game

Some niggaz like to trick but I ain't wit that trickin' s***
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 b***, we never seperate 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
F*** lookin' cute, I'm strictly Timb boots and army certified suits
Puffin' L's, 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
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
(Thug life, we still livin' it)
(The strong survive)

Look in the eyes and get wise
Look alive, in ninety five, word up
Hypnotic thug life, get that ass paralyzed
Knahmsayin'? Mobb Deep and all that
