* all (sung parts) in [Hook] performed by Uncle Reo
[Intro]
DJ Premier: Word up.Ayo Rome' (yo) Yo life ain't what it's cracked up to be these days, y'knahmean?
Rome: Word! Knahmsayin? Life hard out this muh'fucker, y'knahmsayin?
DJ Premier: So you gotta make the best of a bad situation, and hold your head
Rome: Knahmsayin? You gotta progress through the struggle man
[Chorus]
[Guru] In this life.. (ohhh, this life)
[DJ P] "You better wake up"
[Guru] In this life.. (talkin bout this life)
[DJ P] "R-R-Remember this"
[Guru] In this life.. (whoah-ohhh)
[DJ P] "S-S-Survival of the fittest" - Nas
[Guru] In this life..
[DJ P] "I go all out" - "Y'knahmsayin?"
[Verse 1: Guru]
From New York to Cali it remains the same
Bitch niggas always wanna go against the grain
The strong will survive, the weak shall perish
Y'all need more courage, I keep y'all nourished
Get in line, I let you know right now
You need to slow right down or you get blown right now
From what I see it's systematic how we push to addicts
Demographics make the street life hell or drastic
In the hood we see effects of genocide
Cause if it's on it's on, you know at least 10 men'll ride
But on the other side, corruption runs deep
I'm aware of the conspiracies, discussion is brief
They're building more prisons, spendin less on schools
On the block Smith & Wess-ons and Teflons rule
It's hard to escape it, certain laws are sacred
In this life my nigga, it's mad hard to make it
