Survival of the Fittest
C-Murder Lyrics

Yo, yo, what's up nigga? You know the streets is a jungle
The streets can be dangerous and unpredictable, so you gotta be prepared to survive.

You gotta survive out here
Life on the streets is tough, and you need to be strong in order to make it.

You need a strong mind to do the shit I do
Surviving on the streets requires a lot of mental toughness and resilience, especially when engaging in illegal activities.

You ever seen something blown up before
The streets are full of violence and danger, and you never know what might happen next.

See that nigga cross the street in that Cutlass
Pointing out someone who may be a potential threat or rival.

Survival of the fittest, respect my come up
Only the strongest and most cunning will survive on the streets, and those who achieve success deserve respect.

Survival of the fittest, you better not run up
If you're not strong enough to survive on the streets, you should stay away and not try to mess with those who are.

I remember back in 89 a nigga used to steal
Reflecting on past illegal activities and how far he has come since then.

And now I got a Navi with a mothafucking grill
Boasting about his current wealth and success, which he attained through illegal means.

Started slanging rocks because the shit was fun
Explaining how he got into drug dealing and how it started as a thrill.

Dope became a business, no longer a hobby
Drug dealing eventually turned into a lucrative business for him, rather than just a pastime.

I'm a act a donkey if you don't respect my come up
He worked hard to get where he is, and he won't tolerate any disrespect or attempts to undermine his success.

Dumb niggaz die and real niggaz live
Only those who are smart and cunning enough to survive will make it on the streets.

Started in this game at the age of thirteen
Reflecting on the young age at which he began his life of crime and illegal activities.

To the world I was a man, to the feds I was a crook
He was seen as a successful and respected figure in his community, but was also targeted and pursued by law enforcement.

Putting bullets in you bitches jealous niggaz in disguise
He will not hesitate to take down anyone who poses a threat or tries to undermine his success, even if they appear to be a friend or ally.

The ghetto is so wicked I can't even trust my kids
The environment he grew up in was so corrupt and dangerous that even those closest to him could not be entirely trusted.

I was Known in the hood as a nigga with the weight
He had a reputation for being a big-time drug dealer with a lot of influence in his community.

My clientele was growing started investing in some other shit
As his drug business continued to thrive, he began to branch out and invest in other ventures like barber shops and weed-selling operations.

The ghetto is so wicked its survival of the fittest
The streets can be brutal and only those who are strong and cunning enough will survive and thrive.
