[Intro: Kendrick Lamar]
2
Life in the city, life in the city
3
[?] complicated for ya
4
But we survive
5
Only the strongest survive
6
Life, life in the city
7
In the city and nigga's tryna survive
8
Only the strongest survive
9
[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar]
10
You ever been a victim of being a prisoner inside your own mind?
11
The bright lights of the street lights will make you go blind
12
Handicap your senses, you was just an apprentice of watching niggas jump fences
13
Now you in the Olympics and your hurdle was high enough to clear the tallest of clothes lines
14
Talented when they closing in on your behind
15
Life of a young delinquent even stole a [?]
16
At fifteen, middle fingers walked out the precinct
17
I mean the cycle just continue
18
The vital information and fine print on the menu
19
So you'lla never read it even if a nigga lend you
20
Money out my own pocket, to make it right
21
You'll still attend to
22
Be on them corners with stop signs and a nine
23
Cause nine times out of ten, MAC 11's cry
24
And twelve died yesterday and if anyone divides
25
The six that carried you eventually lose they lives
26
True story
27
[Hook: Kobe Honeycutt]
28
When the night falls anything can happen
29
We just pray we make it out alive
30
We all wanna make it to the top one day
31
Success is a street only going one way
32
But we all wanna make it
33
Just try your best to survive
34
[Verse 2: Mistah F.A.B]
35
(You all wanna see a dead body?)
36
Well, follow me across the train tracks
37
Where angry and insane Blacks
38
They slang crack
39
Candles burn where they were slain at
40
And bottles get poured where they would hang at
41
Close, I give you truth in this [?]
42
Dead homies added to swears when truth is in question
43
Like "Man I think he lying or he put that on someone"
44
If I known you ten years, got the right to say we cousins
45
I'm from the city of broken homes, and often I was home alone
46
And momma started smoking cause daddy was scared to smoke alone
47
Section 8 policies, Top Ramen and sunflower seeds
48
June got kill't cause he ain't wanna lose his Wallaby's
49
Constant atrocities, no one is safe
50
There's no religion that can save you, say goodbye to your faith
51
Whether you Muslim or a Christian, Baptist, Jewish or Adventist, Atheist or non-religious
52
Put survival on your wishlist
53
Cause....
54
[Hook: Kobe Honeycutt]
55
When the night falls anything can happen
56
We just pray we make it out alive
57
We all wanna make it to the top one day
58
Success is a street only going one way
59
But we all wanna make it
60
Just try your best to survive
61
[Verse 3: KXNG CROOKED]
62
You walked in apartment and saw your father on the carpet
63
With a belt wrapped around his arm and a scarf under his armpit
64
And a needle shoved in his bicep
65
Earlier this morning you warned him
66
His addict habits are something you couldn't digest
67
You cry saying "I just...Don't wanna see you die"
68
Now you tryna dissect the fact that he hasn't opened his eyes yet
69
You collapsed on his body and you started thinking
70
I could perform CPR, jump start his heart if it's beating
71
But his pulse started to weaken
72
His cardio region depleting as you given him part of your breathing
73
He dead and gone and you had a bad feeling when you was heading home
74
Now it's etched in stone, you've been left alone
75
So you grabbed his gun, chrome handle all pearl, aw nah girl
76
Put it to your head, thinking, fuck everybody like a call girl in a small world
77
Then pulled back but it didn't clap...damn
78
[Hook: Kobe Honeycutt]
79
When the night falls anything can happen
80
We just pray we make it out alive
81
We all wanna make it to the top one day
82
Success is a street only going one way
83
But we all wanna make it
84
Just try your best to survive
