The Wild Life

[Fat Joe]

Yeah, uh, dat gangsta shit!

Shout to my homies out west

The hoo-bangers!

Mack Deezy for Sheezy

All my niggas 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 niggas, me and the Squad done took niggas

Flex drop bombs but you seem to overlook niggas

We the nicest in the game, even lifers know the name

Throwin blows like Tyson when he rained

Fuck 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

Niggas 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 kill 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'ma make it home

The streets is funny peeps'll kill you

over piece of money, 'specially if you sleepin

And don't keep it gully, I'm from the Bronx

Home of niggas that'll stomp you senseless

Dont resent this, I'm knowin that you comprehend this

Its the wild life, niggas done lost they mind

Its the wild life, everybody wanna floss and shine

But could you blame them?

Niggas 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 fucks 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 aint a killer but I still might clap at you though

You for real here, niggas 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 death

I'm in it to win, ya heard?

From beginning to end, you could get shot

even though you once considered a friend

Sometimes my minds driven to win

Tryin to scare society

But cant 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 kill for less

Yo its the wild life

Where peeps takin life for keeps

Yo its 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 its the wildlife

Straight kidnappin and carjackin

Yo its the wildlife

Nigga fuck scrappin, we all packin

I'ma smash on anybody disrespectin the turf

Sraight to the dirt

We niggas 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 aint safe here, the bright lights cablide you

Mix sedica, swollow you whole

They cant find you

Worst thing is walkin these streets

I need clarity, peace and prosperity

Is never gon' see, so niggas with beef

Niggas bumpin they gums and teeth

Straight to the police

Tryin to plant us six feet deep

But I aint goin for that

My shit clap through your starter cap

Pull your socks back, we aint runnin from nothin

Comin from nothin, makes you struggle harder for somethin

Shit is disgusting, you can even trust who you fuckin

The wild life! Colder the nights

You niggas aint nice, put yo money where yo mouth is

And roll the dice, puffin canibus and tiva

With the Don Cartagena, believe a nigga

When I say, dont make me have to spray ya

Yo its the wildlife

Straight kidnappin and carjackin

Yo its the wildlife

Nigga fuck scrappin, we all packin

I'ma smash on anybody disrespectin the turf

Sraight to the dirt
