[Intro: Gerald Alston]
2
Ooh-wee... mmmmmmmm, yeah...
3
[Gerald Alston]
4
See I was raised out on these mean streets
5
I'm from the projects, right, where poverty and hell meet
6
I'm searching everyday to find a better way, I've got a
7
Hustle still to get my pay before I hit bottom
8
Now some might say that I'm already there
9
But who are they to judge or question what I do, son, so I don't care
10
Tired of eating cheese sandwiches with no meat
11
Tired of watching all the playas from the same seat
12
So it's a life of crime, some might sing or rhyme
13
To escape the ghetto before the flatline
14
Choices to make, what am I gonna do
15
Got to use my talents, they gonna pull me through
16
[Chorus: Gerald Alston]
17
Now with success, I become a target
18
They wanna set me up, I guess more money equals more problems
19
They wanna get me, wanna hit me, strip me of my riches
20
They wanna cut me up in pieces, leave me deep in ditches
21
[Hook: Gerald Alston]
22
And I can't take it.... but I'm gonna make it...
23
Yeah... oh... I'm gonna make it... yeah... ohhhhhh
24
Fight to stay alive
25
[Method Man]
26
I was raised out on these mean streets
27
You know where poverty and hell meet
28
Brothers get jail and life's for sale, cheap
29
Since momma held me, in her arms, to tell me
30
That it's a cold world, I done held heat
31
And held myself down, lotta bodies and shells found
32
And niggas into taking everything, that ain't nailed down
33
We fell down, ain't hard to tell now
34
I ain't trying, to see the cell now
35
or see momma put her house up for bail now
36
So I'mma give all I got, to try and get that gwop
37
Nigga I'm hot with this hustle, go 'head and get the cops
38
I use my talent to get more figures
39
Unlike these little corner store niggas
40
Go change your drawers, niggas
41
[Chorus: Method Man & Gerald Alston]
42
Now with success and I've become a target
43
They wanna set me up, take me hostage, or take me down some notches
44
They wanna hit me, wanna stick me, get me for my riches
45
They wanna diss me, want a clip me, leave me stiff in ditches
46
[Hook: Gerald Alston (Method Man)]
47
And I can't take it, no, no, but I'm gonna make it...
48
(This ain't no game, my life ain't nothing to play with)
49
Yeah... I'm gonna make it... oooh...
50
(Face it, money is power and I'ma make it)
51
I'm gonna make it... oooh...
52
[Inspectah Deck]
53
Yeah, I'm gon' survive, yo, yo, aiyo
54
N.Y. City, gritty blocks, little love, plenty cops
55
Few rise, many drop, True Lies, semis cocked
56
Fishscale, already rocked, heavy shots, that we drop
57
New guys on every block, blue eyes and red dots
58
Pregnant mothers, broke fathers, more money, more problems
59
So hungry, won't starve 'em, work hard and so pardon
60
I got mouths to feed, I got pounds of weed
61
I need some more, another store, another house, indeed
62
An X amount of G, the reason pounds'll squeeze
63
And strip you naked, basic, trying to make it out the P's
64
Don't ever doubt a G, and have me spaz like
65
'Face with the K, and my nose all powdery
66
It ain't about the streets, it's 'bout the beast within
67
That won't give in to 'lice, down to bleed, G
68
[Chorus: Inspectah Deck & Gerald Alston]
69
Now with success and I've become a target
70
They wanna set me up, take me hostage, or take me down some notches
71
They wanna hit me, wanna stick me, get me for my riches
72
They wanna diss me, wanna clip me leave me stiff in ditches
73
[Hook: Gerald Alston (RZA)]
74
And I can't take it (yeah), no, no, but I'm gonna make it...
75
(Yeah, yea, turn the beat up a little right here)
76
Yeah... I'm gonna make it... oooh...
77
(Yo, yo, yo, yeah, yo, just, Wu-Tang, Wu-Tang)
78
[RZA]
79
Aiyo, RZA, Meth, GZA, Deck, Ghost and Chef be cashing checks
80
Killa, Cap be snapping necks, Street and 'Zilla flash the tech
81
Sacrifice a savage life, if he trying to bag my ice
82
Tag a price on merchandise, tell me, is it worth ya life?
83
[Gerald Alston]
84
No... it's a cold, cold, cold world
85
You can't be playing games with my life
86
I've gotta fight to survive, fight to stay alive
87
[RZA]
88
Aiyo, metal pipes ignite, sparking fire, light the darkness night
89
Trying to stick me for my riches, now y'all bitches taking flight
90
Major business, raise the digits, tried to strike me for my life
91
Slice and dice, men or mice, GZA tell 'em what it's like
92
[GZA]
93
Aiyo, money making, people flaking, Cash Rules, fuck the bacon
94
Earthquaking, head is aching, bank stop, dice shaking
95
Times are hard, sew a job, scheming niggaz wanna rob
96
Use a hoe to slob ya knob, hit you with unruly mobs
97
Stab you in the back and smile, watch you bleed for a while
98
Hating on the agile, steal ya name and bite ya style
99
Hold you for a ransom note, Goliath cutting David's throat
100
Grab ya vest, abandon boat and leave you out at sea to float
101
[Chorus: GZA & Gerald Alston]
102
Now with success and I've become a target
103
They wanna set me up, I guess more money equals more problems
104
They wanna hit me, wanna stick me, get me for my riches
105
They wanna diss me, want clip me, leave me stiff in ditches
106
[Gerald Alston]
107
And I can't take it.... no, no... but I'm gonna make it...
108
Yeah... oh... I'm gonna make it... ooh... yeah...
109
It's a cold, cold, cold world
110
I got my hand on my gun, they got a brother on the run
111
Yeah... it's a cold, cold, cold world
112
You can't be playing games with my life
113
I've gotta fight to survive, fight to stay alive
114
This ain't a game, this is my life
115
Keep pushing me to the edge, I'm gonna push back
116
And you won't like that, it's guaranteed you won't like that
117
When ya laid down, laid flat...
