Last of a dying breed

Last of a dying breed

Welcome to da life of a young thug nigga

Only hang out wit dem criminals and dem drug dealers

I'm from even where da dead die

But try an do it big like da kid from bed stuy

I see death around da corna and I ain't scared

I got a wit 15 and I'm fully prepared, that's right

Lord a mercy 20 rounds in a clip

Outta line get 20 rounds in ya hip

Shoot first and ask question lata

Da answer is it was all about da paper

And everything da game is shit to lose

And a new forty-five that I'm dyin' to use

Say if ya real like me

Throw ya hoods in da air so da whole wide world can see

Last of a dying breed, last of a dying breed

Last of a dying breed

If ya real like me

Keep that thang on ya hip that's just da way that it's gotta be

Last of a dying breed, last of a dying breed

Last of a dying breed

I done seen niggaz come and go

Shit da whole world done seen wat I done before

We do anythang when da funds is low

I'm da reason outta town as don't come no mo

Let me show you niggaz how to break down da whole thang

My nigga B.G. know Buck been a man

It's got to be in ya blood to be a thug

If I ain't makin' enough I ma jack my plug

We was born in it not sworn in it

You can go against it or you can join wit it

Make my mark so da streets gon' rememba me

Now come and git it nigga Cashville Tennekee holla back

Say if ya real like me

Throw ya hoods in da air so da whole wide world can see

Last of a dying breed, last of a dying breed

Last of a dying breed

And if ya real like me

Keep that thang on ya hip that's just da way that it's gotta be

Last of a dying breed, last of a dying breed

Last of a dying breed

Some of da dudes we thought was real O.G's was O.D's

'Cause they talk pleas and includin' G's like you and me

The first step was going to set a trap

So in a short period they convince da grand jury to allow a phone tap

And if they listen in

Not once did they hear us mentioning

Murder and a cocaine distributing

Through all that was dividends comin' in

I'm straightly gettin' betta yet we too smart for ya bullshit

Callin' all cars, it's your brother-in-laws

And tell 'em hurry up and come dem niggaz got gunz

Man down shots fired only fuck niggaz and cops died

First stage of a ride and dem fuck couldn't sneak by

When you on a witnessin' and shit five bitch be quiet

Because they only got what you tell 'em

And then da witness that they had to Was lyin' there dead

Shot in da street all red wit two shots to his head

'Cause he was workin' for da feds

And they last informant informed us they had it out for us

For a bird but he got popped for it

So ride or die for 'em, betta yet you betta kill 'em

'Cause I think he gon get da bitch to tell 'em

And he probably done all ready told

But then again with out a witness dem bitches ain't got shit, say

If ya real like me

Throw ya hoods in da air so da whole wide world can see

Last of a dying breed, last of a dying breed

Last of a dying breed

If ya real like me

Keep that thang on ya hip that's just da way that it's gotta be

Last of a dying breed, last of a dying breed

Last of a dying breed
