Featuring CL Smooth]

(CL Smooth verse)

(yeah DJ Krush in the house the car mel kingpin

CL Smooth and only the strong survive)

actual facts

the ghetto reacts to warfare

real bullets miss you by your hair

survival of the fittest

hell for the three time losers

the prisoners of enemy manuvers

hold down the fort

coz life is short enough to get it taken

forsaken when your mental planes' breakin

concealin' a 4 pound with every area

we surround coz clown

I get down for my crown

take it to the streets for the

honour and respect

connect the lethal

plus my young guns are unbeatable

aiding and abetting the foul

is a violation

that's why my retalliation

is premeditation

the invitation

is to run with a crew you can't do

and too great to infiltrate from a

nickel plate

I state

this be the illest ever known on a rush

swervin' with the krush

(CL Smooth 2nd verse)

slip into the world of shiesty individuals

a troubled man stalked by criminals

creeping through the city

I step on the block to chat with

thugs from all the drugs for fatcat

stepping off the set now hand on my tool

thinking how bad I want to flip on that fool

times are wasting

chasing these punks for petty loot

when there is a real mission to execute

I put the plan in effect

forget what you heard

when you get the word from 1st and 3rd

for real I got the fam and all my soldiers to feed

with the gunslingers on the block puffin' weed

envision the prison that I walk through

leaving any witness

when I'm about to handle my business

no escape from the duct tape and artillery

now tell me big man

where's the money aint a damn thing funny

(CL Smooth 3rd verse)

cops play for medals

killers play for corners

in the middle are your sons and are

your daughters

who gives the orders

to chaos and mayhem

who has the proper guidance and mind to save them

from this cold world of heartless ghetto dwellers,

pimps, prostitutes, and dope sellers

strive to be the lead and not follow

ladies

you can be the queens of tommorrow

dig it, I want all that and more

for my peeps in the stuggle

food, clothing, and shelter

is essential

to maintain the hardcore from the soft

that pushed me to the edge but I can't fall off

my battlegrounds keep the sound of babies crying,

gunshots, and cursing

can you feel my reel

here's the deal

by any means necessary

go all out

and keep this alive

coz only the strong survive
