Mobb Deep - Survival of the Fittest lyrics

Yeah, sendin' this one out
To my man, Killer B no doubt indeed
Where that weed? Nomsayin'?
That old real shit

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 one double, 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 slug-proof 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

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

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
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 out-clever
If beef, we never separate and pull together
When worst comes to worst
My peoples come first try to react and get
Them motherfuckin' feelings hurt
My crew's all about loot fuck lookin' cute!
I'm strictly Timb boots and
Army certified suit's
Puffin L's, laid back, enjoyin' the smell
In the Bridge, gettin' down
It ain't hard to tell you better realize

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

Open your eyes and get wise
Look alive, in '95, word up
Hypnotic thug life, get that ass paralyzed
Nomsayin? Mobb Deep and all that
