Welcome to the life of a young thug nigga,yeah

Only hang out wit' them criminals and drug dealers, ay

I'm from even where dead die



But try an' do it big like the kid from Bedstuy

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

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

Lord have mercy 20 rounds in a clip, yeah

Outta line get 20 rounds in ya hip, ay



Shoot first and ask questions later

The answer is it was all about the paper, yeah

Everything the game is shit to lose

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



If ya real like me, throw ya hoods in the air

So the whole wide world can see, ay

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 the 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 the whole world done seen what I done before

We do anythang when the funds is low

I'm the reason outta towners don't come no mo'



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

My nigga B.G. know Buck been a birdman

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

Made my mark so the streets gon' remember me

Now come and get it nigga Cashville Tennekee, holla back



So if ya real like me, throw ya hoods in the air

So the whole wide world can see, ay

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 the way that it's gotta be

Last of a dying breed, last of a dying breed, last of a dying breed



Some of the dudes we thought was real O.G.'s was O.B's

'Cause they talked pleas and included G's like you and me

The first step was goin' to set a trap

So in a short period, they convinced the grand jury to allow a phone tap



And if they listenin', not once did they hear us mentionin'

Murder and a cocaine distributin' through all that was dividends comin' in

I'm strict legit and better yet we too smart for ya bullshit

Callin' all cars, hit your brother along



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

Man down, shots fired, only fuck niggaz and cops died

First stage of a riot and them fucks couldn't sneak by

Oh, you want to witness some shit, fine bitch, be quiet



'Cause they only got what you tell 'em

And only witness that they had, the bitch was layin' there dead

Shot in the street all red with two shots to his head

'Cause he was workin' for the feds



And the last informant, informed us

They had it out for us for a bird that he got popped for

So ride or die for him better yet, you better kill 'em

'Cause I think he's gonna be the bitch to tell 'em

And he probably done all ready told 'em

But then again with out a witness them bitches ain't got shit



If ya real like me, throw ya hoods in the air

So the whole wide world can see, ay

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 the way that it's gotta be

Last of a dying breed, last of a dying breed, last of a dying breed
