I grew up in the streets, where it's kill or be killed My mama always warned me, said someone goes in shoot then kill that mother fucker! I had to learn quick, had to keep it real Survival of the fittest, that's just how it feel I never had a choice, had to hustle for my meals Gotta stay on my toes, gotta watch for the deals Ain't no room for weakness, gotta show my steel Gotta stay on top, gotta make these bills I've seen it all, the blood and the spills Gotta stay focused, gotta climb these hills My mama said someone goes in shoot then kill that mother fucker! So I gotta stay ready, gotta stay trill I'm a product of my environment, a product of the streets Gotta watch my back, gotta stay on my feet My mama said someone goes in shoot then kill then kill that mother fucker!! So I gotta stay strong, gotta keep it real
