Oh, the pain and the hunger, it don't ever leave
And you'll never know your true enemy
The predators hunt in the midst of the night
So when the darkness comes, you'd best be ready to fight
This world's gonna eat you and beat you down
They're gonna feed until they're full
And you can't stand on two left feet
When you're dancing with the wolves
Devil wanna dance, but like Johnny, think I got some other plans
Thinking you can try me, boy, you're bouta lose your chance
I ain't gonna shoot him, I'll just do it with my hands
Big bark, but no bite
I've been dropping dogs out the window under dome light
Hopping off the black train, get my soul right
But I ain't never tucked tail from a low life
They've been trying to get their claws in my skin
Cut 'em off, I'm gone with the wind, now they're watching the kid
Praying I fall in the end, but ain't nobody stopping me dead
We're from the west side of the river
You don't wanna test my kind of people
We done faced death like it's an equal
We don't take threats lightly, we lethal, yeah
Oh, the pain and the hunger, it don't ever leave
And you'll never know your true enemy
The predators hunt in the midst of the night
So when the darkness comes, you'd best be ready to fight
This world's gonna eat you and beat you down
They're gonna feed until they're full
And you can't stand on two left feet
When you're dancing with the wolves
They gonna try to take advantage of what they ain't got
And try to take you off your place, cause they hate their spot
But if they don't know your woodwork, then they get lost
You're either predator or prey, and the prey get got
Came from the struggle, I was born to fight
Out here tryna make a living working day and night
Out here living the songs that they've been trying to write
And I keep to myself, out of sight, out of mind, yea
Ain't nobody but the family closest
Once who fall, it was under their noses
Y'all can try me, but I keep my focus
Ain't paid attention yet, but they gon' notice
Now, and yeah, I run this town
You'll see if you're out when the sun goes down
Oh, the pain and the hunger, it don't ever leave
And you'll never know your true enemy
The predators hunt in the midst of the night
So when the darkness comes, you'd best be ready to fight
This world's gonna eat you and beat you down
They're gonna feed until they're full
And you can't stand on two left feet
When you're dancing with the wolves
