I left the gangsta life
But it never left me so
(That gangsta life)
When I heard that she died
Thought that it ain’t my fault though
(Wasn’t me)
I just want to survive
No need to get involved, no
(No need)
Ain’t about a life of crime
But my 9 to 5’s slow
(Why me?)
I left the gangsta life
Now it’s pulling me back
(Pullin me back)
Got to toughen up and fight
Cause they on attack
(They on attack)
Look inside her eyes
Show her that I never left
(Never left)
Now I’ma set things right
When they ask what sеt I rep
Feel like a shook one
Whеn they tell me “Nah, you ain’t a crook, son.”
Can’t run away every time and just look dumb
Got to protect my hood from the hoodlums
We pullin up
Cause they want to push us
Ops want to kill
They already took blood
I see the future
Ain’t lookin good, but
Maybe I can change it all if I stood up
Welcome back to the thug life
Kiss the old one goodbye
Will you man up and fight?
Or you closing your eyes?
Welcome back to the thug life
Where the snakes love to hide
Will you man up and fight?
Or you let them all die
Welcome
Welcome back
Ain’t no open arms
Unless they throwin hands
Tryin to show me harm
Welcome
Welcome back
Ain’t no big parade
Unless we marching in
To stomp all on yo gang
(That gangsta life)
I left the gangsta life
But it never left me so
I’ma get revenge on anybody coming in
To take a life from any friend and then I’ll see you fold like
Cards up in your hand
But I’ll be gambling to win
No longer holding in my fist
I’m a take what she’s owed by
Guarding her again
Until she’s livin in present
Because you brought her into this
So the squad bringing smoke
(We brought smoke)
Yes I will defend
And put you on the pavement like
Ride or die on the road
If you gon pretend
Then we ain’t shakin any hands
I’ma throw it in your chin
Unless you a bro so
Threat that you send
Man it’s blowin with the wind
Even if I go broke in my
Will or skeleton
Be a man amongst men
Take a breath, count to 10
That’s how many I’m up against
When it’s 1 vs them
Survival of the fittest
But you
Know that I am dying just to fit in
Temperature rising up when the gang is pitted
They gon feel the heat like dogs on these b#tches
Lookin out for homies
They gon need a witness
Stabbin in the back like
Bloods are gettin crippin
Don’t want to be the most infamous in it
I just want to save em before their life is finished
Welcome back to the thug life
Kiss the old one goodbye
Will you man up and fight?
Or you closing your eyes?
Welcome back to the thug life
Where the snakes love to hide
Will you man up and fight?
Or you let them all die
Welcome
Welcome back
Ain’t no open arms
Unless they throwin hands
Tryin to show me harm
Welcome
Welcome back
Ain’t no big parade
Unless we marching in
To stomp all on yo gang
