[Fat Joe] Yeah, uh, dat gangsta sh**! Shout to my homies out west The hoo-bangers! Mack Deezy for Sheezy All my n***as in the Bronx Holdin them corners down Ya heard? Get it right! [Verse 1: Fat Joe] Joe cracks back, been a long time comin No mean to disrespect but a lot of y'alls frontin Shook n***as, me and the Squad done took n***as Flex drop bombs but you seem to overlook n***as We the nicest in the game, even lifers know the name Throwin blows like Tyson when he rained f** the ice in the range, I'm tryin to get stocked Generate mil's so I can buy back my old block It's like the rap games far from the crack game n***as is mad lane (How come?) They act tame You can tell from my scars life is hard Shot down in broad day life in front of my Mom's And the feds never give up, they tryin to k** us I'm stressed drinkin VSOP tearin my liver Livin my life like I don't care I'm out to take the throne My mom's in the window hopin I'mma make it home The streets is funny peeps'll k** you Over decent money, 'specially if you sleepin And don't keep it gully, I'm from the Bronx Home of n***as that'll stomp you senseless Don't resent this, I'm knowin that you comprehend this It's the wild life, n***as done lost they mind It's the wild life, everybody wanna floss and shine But could you blame them? n***as is brought up with anger Pops in jail, Moms get tossed up on stangers [Prospect] Yo it's the wild life Where peeps takin life for keeps Yo it's the wild life We all brawlin, fight to eat The enemies and the D's lurk through N.Y.C Some of them on they back lookin up like "Yo, why me?" [Verse 2: Prospect] I never really had a pops But who the f**s to blame He did 13, and wonder why the steets my name And heat's my game, cause I'm the type To leak your frame, give you a slap With the cast, you can meet my pain Defeat I bring, to the nicest rapper you know I ain't a k**er but I still might clap at you though You for real here, n***as be followin with steps I made my own moves, so the tokers, could swallow they breath Acknowledge the best, and do what I did Like I'm blessed, 7 days in a coma This is life after d**h I'm in it to win, ya heard? From beginning to end, you could get shot Even though you was considered a friend Sometimes my minds driven to win Tryin to scare society But can't slip again cuz my lil' man relyin me Everyday I put through a test But still progress I'm tryin to climb hills And tryin to make me k** for less Yo it's the wild life Where peeps takin life for keeps Yo it's the wild life We all brawlin, fight to eat The enemies and the deeds lurk through N.Y.C Some of them on they back lookin up Like "Yo, why me?" [Xzibit] Yo it's the wildlife Straight kidnappin and carjackin Yo it's the wildlife n***a f** scrappin, we all packin I'm a smash on anybody disrespectin the turf Sraight to the dirt We n***as known for puttin in work [Verse 3: Xzibit] I make it all go down right In front of your face Another life goes to waste For names sake of the paper chaser It ain't safe here, the bright lights can blind you Mix sedica, swollow you whole They can't find you Worst thing is walkin these streets I need clarity, peace and prosperity Is never gon' see, so n***as with beef n***as bumpin they gums and teeth Straight to the police Tryin to plant us six feet deep But I ain't goin for that My sh** clap through your starter cap Pull your socks back, we ain't runnin from nothin Comin from nothin, makes you struggle harder for somethin sh** is disgusting, you can even trust who you f**in The wild life! Colder the nights You n***as ain't nice, put yo money where yo mouth is And roll the dice, puffin canibus and tiva With the Don Cartagena, believe a n***a When I say, dont make me have to spray ya Yo it's the wildlife Straight kidnappin and carjackin Yo it's the wildlife n***a f** scrappin, we all packin I'm a smash on anybody disrespectin the turf Sraight to the dirt We n***as known for puttin in work
