How It Goes

[Intro: Havoc]

Yeah, come on

Life, yeah

It's real, yeah, come on

It go down, yo

[Verse 1: Havoc]

Who the fuck said life was like a bowl of cherries?

My life was like every year somebody buried, yeah

My youth hurt me, ice cold from it all (From it all)

My vision blurry, couldn't see past the corner store

If you from that hood, I ain't gotta say no more

Summer job, first paycheck, copped raw

Quit the summer job, fuck that, these jumbs gettin' off

And grandmoms flippin' when she saw the new cloths (Yeah)

I'm walkin' with a knot, every day, new drawers

Who could pump over here, who couldn't, them hood wars

A basehead came through with some Army gats

Half-price with the serial scratched

And life was hard, anything easy wasn't worth havin'

Money aside for re-up, now we in the kitchen baggin' (Yeah)

Pot on the floor make for the perfect cookie

Y'all don't know nothin' 'bout them real Champion hoodies

[Interlude: Prodigy]

"God forgive me"

"Livin' wild inside of New York state"

[Chorus: Chinky]

This is how it all go, how a hustler get dough

When the streets get hot at night

They be huggin' them blocks

On the low from the cops when them guns go pop at night ("Livin' wild")

This is how it all go, how a hustler get dough

When the streets get hot at night

They be huggin' them blocks

On the low from the cops when them guns go pop at night

[Verse 2: Prodigy]

Ayo, see, we gon' do the right thing, and get this money like Vikings

We animals about paper, it's real frightening

We cannibals for dead presidents 'cause we like it

Watch us caveman your women, and she like it

Never stop gettin' that scratch, I'm clickin' while I rip

The Virgin close at 2 a.m. in New York, kid

We gettin' Internet money 24 hours a day

Overseas cheese, different shapes of the chips

Change in emissions on exotic whips

You gotta feel the ignition on his Honda, it's a trip

We come on home with Mercedes dirt bikes, that's two stroke

Those is race bikes, y'all niggas don't even know

We grew up on rap, it spoon-fed us slow

But the real world shoved the streets down our throat

We grew up on guns with the silencer potatoes

Now we only want the green with the zeroes

[Interlude: Prodigy]

"Mobb Deep and all that"

"Livin' wild inside of New York state"

[Chorus: Chinky]

This is how it all go, how a hustler get dough

When the streets get hot at night

They be huggin' them blocks

On the low from the cops when them guns go pop at night ("Livin' wild")

This is how it all go, when you headline shows

And you M-O-B-B for life

Been around the world more than twice

And it's on me all my life

[Outro: Chinky]

And I'm still shinin'

Let me see if I've got this right
