[Intro] Ayo, it’s the life we chose, In the cold, no retreat, only foes. [Verse 1] Step in the scene, man’s livin’ that life, Heart full of hunger, yeah, the struggle is rife. Got the gang with me, and we movin’ in sync, All about the action, don’t care what you think. From the block where the sirens echo at night, Keep your head on a swivel, gotta stay outta sight. Trust is a myth, no love for the fake, When it’s war in the streets, make no mistake. [Chorus] No retreat, no surrender, we ride or die, Caught up in the heat, we just reach for the sky. Life in the drill, yeah, it’s do or die, When the gang rolls through, you know we don’t lie. [Verse 2] Out on the road, livin’ fast, can’t slow, Gotta keep it real, man, this ain’t for show. Runnin’ with the wolves, no room for the sheep, Got the heart of a lion, in the jungle we creep. Every move calculated, got the plan on deck, When the time comes, we don’t aim for the neck. Brothers in the struggle, yeah, we carry the weight, In this life of sin, there’s no room for fate. [Chorus] No retreat, no surrender, we ride or die, Caught up in the heat, we just reach for the sky. Life in the drill, yeah, it’s do or die, When the gang rolls through, you know we don’t lie. [Bridge] In the shadows we lurk, as the city sleeps, Dreams of the top, but the journey is steep. Countin’ all my blessings, but I’m ready for war, When you come from the bottom, gotta settle the score. [Verse 3] In the alleyways, where the real ones thrive, Ain’t no backin’ down, we just strive to survive. Life’s a game of chess, we play for keeps, Every loss is a lesson, no time for the weak. Got the heart of a soldier, mind like a shark, In the depths of the night, we light up the dark. So if you’re in the way, better know what’s in store, When the gang comes through, you better hit the floor. [Chorus] No retreat, no surrender, we ride or die, Caught up in the heat, we just reach for the sky. Life in the drill, yeah, it’s do or die, When the gang rolls through, you know we don’t lie. [Outro] Yeah, it’s the life we chose, In the cold, no retreat, only foes.
