[Verse 1]
    Em             G
From New York to Cali it remains the
 same
       Am
Bitch niggas always wanna go against
 the grain
     Em                       G
The strong will survive, the weak 
shall perish
      Am
Y'all need more courage, I keep 
y'all nourished
Em          G
Get in line,   I let you know right 
now
             Am
You need to slow right down or you 
get blown right now
Em                             G
    From what I see it's systematic 
how we push to addicts

  Demographics make the street life 
hell or drastic
Em                        G
   In the hood we see oppressive 
genocide
Am
   Cause if it's on it's on, you 
know at least 10 men'll ride
Em                     G
  But on the other side, corruption 
runs deep
    Am
I'm aware of the conspiracies, 
discussion is brief
Em                               
   They're building more prisons, 
G
spendin less on schools
        Am
On the block Smith & Wess-ons and 
Teflons rule
     Em                G
It's hard to escape it, certain laws
 are sacred
        Am
In this life my nigga, it's mad hard
 to make it

[Chorus]
    Em         G             Am
 In this life..     Money is key
 And everybody you see ain't what 
they claim to be
    Em         G             Am
 In this life..     I try to do 
right
 I live a treacherous life, I know I
 ain't right, mm
    Em         G             Am
 In this life..   You got to keep on
 You got to be strong, you got to 
hold on
    Em         G              Am
 In this life, heh, I come in peace
 But still yo, I come from the 
streets

[Verse 2]

World Premier, limited edition
    Em         G

A long time, I'm doin fine, I feel 
terrific
    Em         G

Am

It's cold outdoors, so I got to keep
 some heat
    Em               G            
I never know when a cutthroat gon'
         Am
 try to test me
Disrespect me, things could get 
messy
Em                       G        
   Yes he, shoot a good game, like
 Am
 James
I mean Jesse, watch out nigga, 
heavens to Betsies
Em      G               Am
    The big drum beater
With a car full of heaters and some 
fly senoritas
          Em                   
In some Stacy's or some Chucks, 
          G             Am

Run up on the Dogg man you bound to 
get beat up

[Chorus]
    Em         G  Am
 In this life.. (ohhh, this life, 
I'm tryin to make it better)
 You better wake up
    Em         G  Am
 In this life.. (I won't have to 
struggle no mo', no I won't)
 R-R-Remember this
    Em         G  Am
 In this life.. (ohhh, this life,

 S-S-Survival of the fittest
    Em         G  Am
 In this life.. (tryin to make it 
better, yes I am)
