    Lyrics:
    [Intro]
    Yeah, sendin' this one out
    To my man, Killer B
    No doubt indeed
    Where that weed?
    Nomsayin'?
    That old real shit
    [Verse 1]
    There's a war goin' on outside no man is safe from
    You could run, but you can't hide forever
    From these streets that we done took
    You walkin' with your head down, scared to look
    You shook, ‘cause ain't no such things as halfway crooks
    They never around when the beef cooks in my part of town
    It's similar to Vietnam
    Now we all grown up and old, and beyond the cops' control
    They better have the riot gear ready
    Tryin' to bag me and get rocked steady
    By the MAC one-double, I touch you
    And leave you with not much to go home with
    My skin is thick, ‘cause I be up in the mix of action
    If I'm not at home, puffin' lye, relaxin'
    New York got a nigga depressed
    So I wear a slug-proof underneath my Guess
    God bless my soul
    Before I put my foot down and begin to stroll
    Into the drama I built
    And all unfinished beef, you will soon be killed
    Put us together, it's like mixin' vodka and milk
    I'm goin out blastin', takin' my enemies with me
    And if not, they scarred, so they will never forget me
    Lord, forgive me
    The Hennessy got me not knowin' how to act
    I'm fallin' and I can't turn back
    Or maybe it's the words from my man Killa Black
    That I can't say so it's left a untold fact
    Until my death, my goal's to stay alive
    Survival of the fit, only the strong survive
    [Chorus]
    Yo, yo, we livin' this 'til the day that we die
    Survival of the fit, only the strong survive
    (We still livin' it)
    We livin' this 'til the day that we die
    Survival of the fit, only the strong survive
    (Thug life, we still livin' it)
    We livin' this 'til the day that we die
    Survival of the fit, only the strong survive
    (We still livin' it)
    We livin' this 'til the day that we die
    Survival of the fit, only the strong survive
    [Verse 2]
    I'm trapped, in between two worlds, tryin' to get dough
    Y'know, when the dough get low the jewels go
    But never that, as long as fiends smoke crack
    I'll be on the block hustlin', countin' my stacks
    No doubt, watchin' my back and proceed with caution
    Five-oh lurkin', no time to get lost in the system
    Niggas usin' fake names to get out quick
    My brother did it and got bagged with two ounces
    I live a world where squads hit the block hard
    Ask my man Twin when he got bagged
    That fucked me up, God, but shit happens for a reason
    You find out who's your true peoples
    When you're upstate bleedin'
    You can't find a shorty to troop your bid with you
    Hit with a two to four is difficult
    Wild on the streets, I try to maintain
    Tight with my loot, ‘cause hoes like to run game
    Some niggas like to trick, but I ain't with that trickin' shit
    I'm like a Jew, savin' dough so I can big whip
    Pushin' a Lex, now I'm set, ready to jet
    No matter how much loot I get
    I'm stayin' in the projects forever
    Jakes on the blocks we out-clever
    If beef, we never separate and pull together
    When worse comes to worst, my peoples come first
    Try to react and get them motherfuckin' feelings hurt
    My crew's all about loot-fuck lookin' cute!
    I'm strictly Timb boots and Army certified suits
    Puffin L's, laid back, enjoyin' the smell
    In the Bridge, gettin' down, it ain't hard to tell
    You better realize
    [Chorus]
    [Outro]
    Open your eyes and get wise
    Look alive, in '95, word up
    Hypnotic thug life, get that ass paralyzed
    Nomsayin? Mobb Deep and all that

Sure, a lot of albums only had a few really good songs on them and spending 20 bucks not knowing how good it is would sometimes suck, but all those standout songs held up. The albums with song after song blowing your mind are the all-time legends, the chronic, doggystyle, the diary, 36 chambers, cuban linx, dirty, all eyez on me...

  • @10304KH
    @10304KH Před 3 lety +1963

    People wonder why rappers back then had so many bars with unbelievable lyrics. I’m 43. I was a teenager when some of the greatest rap artist emerged. I saw the incline, peak, and decline of rap. Well, perhaps lyricism in rap is the decline part of it. Here’s what I believe happened. There was no internet and no social media platforms. To get heard these rappers had to sharpen their skills by writing and rewriting rap lyrics and practicing freestyle. They would battle other rappers in homes, alleys, corners, and at clubs. Some people got booed into greatness. Taking a rap battle loss meant either quitting or keep practicing. The ones that rose to the top never stopped practicing so they could destroy everyone lyrically. Then they would put out a tape and sell it out the back of their cars. They would also approach radio stations to play their music so it could be heard. It took a lot of hustle to get a deal and be heard. That meant only the cream of the crop made it in most cases. With the invention of the internet and social media like CZcams, everyone can be heard without practicing. Plus for some reason the look and background of a rapper became more important then ability. Beats and the persona moved to the front and lyrics got pushed to the background. This has happened to other music as well, but I mainly listened to rap starting with the Fat Boys back in the mid eighties. If you made it this far I have three recommendations. Apostles warning, Still shining, drop a gem on them. If you haven’t heard these songs yet, enjoy.

      Your analysis is on point. That’s exactly what it is. Anyone today can get themselves exposure using social media. But I’d have to add that back then, everyone had a grittiness or rawness that seemed real, with their own unique styles and personas, unlike today’s personas that come across as artificial or manufactured. Definitely a whole ‘nother level back then...
