Survival Hungry Lyrics

[Produced by DJ Scratch]

[Hook]
All my niggas dirty, hungry and thirsty
Hit ya (Yeah) like a 30/30 for what'cha worth, see (Yeah)
You know we got to get this money, survival hungry
All my niggas dirty, hungry and thirsty
Hit ya (Yeah) like a 30/30 for what'cha worth, see
You know we got to get this money, survival hungry (Yeah)
All my niggas dirty, hungry and thirsty
Hit ya like a 30/30 for what'cha worth, see
You know we got to (Yeah) get this money, survival hungry

[Verse 1]
Ayo, ooh! Baby, what I feel is just the (Hah!)
The type of shit that make you act stupid for real, what the
Yo! (Huh) Before ya try to wear these
You need to hear these (Hah), welcome all y'all to my world series (Ya-ya-ya)
Elaborate on Busta Rhymes' theories (Ya-ya-ya)
I gon' bust your ass on behalf of all MCs (Ya-ya-ya)
Never disrespect these monuments creating new flow
The full blast we'll hit 'em (Hit 'em, hit 'em), hit 'em high, hit 'em low
And while your style will soften, my mind will drift often (Huh)
To illusions of my lyrics givin' you massages in the coffin (Huh!)
The boom shock, ooh-wee
Corny nigga, crash into a motherfucking tree (Huh)
Officialize shit when we in the place to be (Hah!)
Extra strength nigga maximize the party
(We'll come, come just) So fierce, I just pierce y'all (Hah)
In the place, make the spot look scarce, I pierce needles in yo' face (Huh)
Fuck dumb shit (Straight up!) (Hah)
Keep it bouncin', baby, make sure you hold your (Weight up!)
Ah-ha, yeah (Huh), just watch how the flow will change up fo' sho' (Hah)
Rippin' until my niggas walk out the do'
[Hook]
My niggas dirty, hungry and thirsty
Hit ya like a 30/30 for what'cha worth, see
You know we got to get this money, survival hungry
All my niggas dirty (Yeah), hungry and thirsty
Hit ya (Yeah) like a 30/30 for what'cha worth, see
You know we got to get this money, survival hungry
All my niggas dirty (Yeah), hungry and thirsty
Hit ya (Yeah) like a 30/30 for what'cha worth, see
You know we got to get this money, survival hungry (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
Yo! (Huh!) I refuse to lose
Look at the news and read the interviews, Flipmode is the squad!
A unit made of (Hah) many crews (Hmm, hah)
Give me the whole entire wheel of fortune (Huh! Hah)
Making a sacrifice no matter what the shit be costin' (Hah)
And while you coughin' I be flossin' like a fuckin' dolphin (Hee!)
A lot of bitch-rich niggas experience extortion (Hah)
Since I was born when I perform
I drop a million and one stony (Hah) rock on niggas
Like a fuckin' hailstorm, I pollute, yo, my new flow (Hah)
Put on your (Hoo) funeral home suit and execute 'em
With a bang (Shoot!)
The blow torch has been ignited, those who so excited (Hah, hah)
I'm 'bout to rope 'em in, a bunch of bitch niggas are being extradited (Huh)
You soundin' so sloppy (Hah)
Like a broken muffler draggin' behind a old jalopy (Huh)
Once the bomb drops (Hah), here's the aftermath (Hoo)
Scientists tried to dissect the way (Hah), I formulate my craft (Hah)
Worrying (Hah) 'bout how I achieve things (Hoo)
The way I analyze shit and how I percieve things (Hmm)
My style is real (Hah) like lamb skin imported from the Persian
Follow (Ah!) my excursion, all the way 'til you feelin' the new revised version (Huh)
I complete then I defeat, destroy who ever complicate (Hah)
How I eat (Huh), survival hungry, nigga
[Hook]
All my niggas dirty, hungry and thirsty
Hit ya (Yeah) like a 30/30 for what'cha worth, see
You know we got to get this money (Yeah), survival hungry
All my niggas dirty, hungry and thirsty
Hit ya (Yeah) like a 30/30 for what'cha worth, see
You know we got to get this money (Yeah), survival hungry
All my niggas dirty, hungry and thirsty
Hit ya like a 30/30 for what'cha worth, see
You know we got to get this money, survival hungry (Heh)
