Yo, yo what's up n***a
You know the streets is a jungle
You gotta survive out here
You need a strong mind to do the sh** i do
You ever seen something blown the f** up before
See that n***a cross the street in that cutla**
Check this out
(chorus 2x)
Survival of the fittest, respect my come up
Survival of the fittest, you better not run up
(c-murder)
I remember back in 89 a n***a used to steal
And now i got a navi with a mother f**in' grill
One time chase a n***a through the alley f**in' alley
Mad cause i f**ed up my only pair of bally's
I used to smoke weed with the ballers after school
Mother f**as wanted to hang cause i used to act a fool
Started slangin' rocks cause the sh** was fun
I used to bang at n***as just to see 'em run
n***a people started hearin' sh** started recognizing me
Big timers fronted me some coke in a ride "g"
Dope became my business, no longer a hobby
I owed a n***a 5 g's so i started robbin'
I knew i had to move before i had to bang 'em up
I'm a act a donkey if you don't respect my come up
Dumb n***as die, and real n***as live
This ghetto is so wicked i can't even trust my kids
(chorus 2x)
(gotti)
Started in this game at the age of 13
Gettin' paid makin' money servin' crack to the fiends
Hoes couldn't take me n***as gave me jealous looks
To the world i was a man, to the feds i was a crook
Put my face up in the paper, put my name in they books
Cause they see a n***a ballin' off the birds that i cooked
As the years went by still survival of the fittest
Now i'm ridin' in the tank representin' to the fullest
Puttin' bullets in you b**hes, jealous n***as in disguise
Shootin' n***as till we die, gambino's on the rise
My n***a fiend up by my side, my enemies bound to die
Got no mercy in my eyes label gotti one of the realest
(chorus 2x)
(c-murder)
I was born a ba*tard, my pops was a thug
4 years in the pen for transportin' d**
I was known in the hood as the n***a with the weight
b**hes all up in my business, shippin' keys from state to state
Triple beams in the project calliope, where i broke 'em down
Razor blade and baking soda, pure white f** the brown
My clientele was growin' started investin' in some other sh**
Barber shops on every block, even had a weed spot
Moms and the kids put away up in the house
Surveillance cameras and alarms to spook a n***a out
Pitbulls in the backyard trained to k**
Call my folks up on the phone before i made a deal
I'm one step ahead of a n***a doin' wrong
That's why i'm still alive and been on top for so f**in' long
I had to spank some bustas, to show 'em i mean business
The ghetto is so wicked it's survival of the fittest
(chorus 2x)
