Word up
Aiyyo Rome` (yo)
Yo life ain`t what it`s cracked up to be these days, y`knahmean?

[DJ P] `S-S-Survival of the fittest` -> Nas
[Guru] In this life..
[DJ P] `I go all out` - `Y`knahmsayin?`

[Verse One: Guru]
From New York to Cali it remains the same
Bitch niggaz always wanna go against the grain
The strong will survive, the weak shall perish
Y`all need more courage, I keep y`all nourished
Get in line, I let you know right now
You need to slow right down or you get blown right now
From what I see it`s systematic how we push to addicts
Demographics make the street life hell or drastic
In the hood we see oppressive genocide
Cause if it`s on it`s on, you know at least 10 men`ll ride
But on the other side, corruption runs deep
I`m aware of the conspiricies, discussion is brief
They`re building more prisons, spendin less on schools
On the block Smith
