Survival of the fit-, only the strong survive
Survival of the fit-, only the strong survive
Survival of the fit-, only the strong survive
And the people look at Dave and said
"We wanna kill you David"

You probably thought the label was gon' shelf me
You prayed that this paper never helped me 
You probably thought the label was gon' shelf me
You prayed that this paper never helped me
Posted up by the mailbox without a mail key
Exotic weed acrid if you ever smelled me
I don't wanna die young, I wanna die wealthy
Niggas askin' for the most help ain't never helped me
Blue or brown flagin' it
You think I'm gettin' to it? Well, that's accurate
Acura slidin', ain't have no passengers
Bubble goose, wasn't no computers, when it's trouble, shoot
Money made my dick hard, honestly, fell in love with loot
Mathematics supreme, knowledge, and wisdom
Understandin' culture, no power will get you killed, son
(We wanna kill you, David)
Equality God, bill gets thrown at y'all
Born in the cypher, shit get tighter than Wonderbras
I come from the slums, had to walk when we wanted cars
Couldn't afford the shit that y'all wearin', that made me wanna rob
That pressure get applied, you know your son involved
You so nervous, phone in your pocket, don't wanna call
Feds is lurkin', I know they watchin', I wanna ball
Plug fronted 50, I'm starvin', I need 100 more
Drop it in the pot, cannonball, somersault
September to April, we pumpin', take the summer off
May, June, July, August, livin' lawless
In Georgetown, I really was recruited by the Hoyas
Maneuver through the borders
My man from Cuba, I told him that you could get deported
What if Tookie could've saw this?
No bakery, we was cuttin' cookies by the quarter
Nigga ratted in New York, picked up and took his shit to Florida

And the people look at David and said
"We wanna kill you David, because it's because of you
That we're in this position that we're in"
When God gave them victories in battles and victories over war
Nobody had anything to say negative, when David

Survival of the fit-, only the strong survive
Survival of the fit-, only the strong survive
