[Intro: Jeezy]

(Yeah), ayy (Ayy)

Motherfuckin' business is, nigga (Yeah)

Ayy, real niggas do real things, nigga (Last of a dying breed)

Fuck, man, they don't make niggas like they used to, dog (Last of a dying breed)

Niggas tryna get at a nigga sideways and shit, nigga (Ayy)

It's real talk, nigga, fuck what you talkin' 'bout, nigga (Ayy)

[Verse 1: Jeezy]

Welcome to the life of a young thug nigga (Yeah)

Only hang out with them criminals and drug dealers, ayy

I'm from even where the dead die (Die)

I'm tryna do it big like the kid from Bed-Stuy

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

I got a Carbon 15 and I'm fully prepared (That's right)

Lord have mercy, twenty rounds in the clip (Yeah)

Outta line, get twenty rounds in your hip (Ayy)

Shoot first and ask questions later (Later)

The answer is it was all about the paper (Yeah)

Everything to gain and shit to lose

And a new forty-five that I'm dyin' to use (Yeah)

[Chorus: Ill Will]

Said if you're real like me (Like me)

Throw your hoods in the air so the whole wide world can see (Ayy)

Last of a dying breed (Last of a dying breed), last of a dying breed

And if you're real like me (Like me)

Keep that thang on your hip, that's just the way that it's gotta be (That's the way that it's gotta be, baby)

Last of a dying breed (Last of a dying breed), last of a dying breed

[Verse 2: Young Buck]

I done seen niggas come and go

Shit, the whole world done seen what I done done before (Yeah)

We do anything when the funds is low

I'm the reason outta-towners don't come no more (No)

Let me show you niggas how to break down the whole thing

My nigga B.G. know Buck been a bird man (Aight)

It's got to be in your 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 with it

Made my mark, so the streets gon' remember me (Yeah)

Now come and get it, niggas, Cashville, Ten-a-key, holla back

[Chorus: Ill Will]

Said if you're real like me (Like me)

Throw your hoods in the air so the whole wide world can see (Ayy)

Last of a dying breed (Last of a dying breed), last of a dying breed

And if you're real like me (Like me)

Keep that thang on your hip, that's just the way that it's gotta be (That's the way that it's gotta be, baby)

Last of a dying breed (Last of a dying breed), last of a dying breed

[Verse 3: Trick Daddy]

Some of the dudes we thought was real OGs was OBs

'Cause they took pleas that 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 phone taps

And if they listen in

Not once did they hear us mentionin'

Murderin' or cocaine distributin'

Through all that, was dividends comin' in

I'm straight legit, and better yet we too smart for your bullshit

Callin' all cars (Callin' all cars), hit your burglar alarms

And tell 'em hurry up and come, them niggas got guns

Man down, shots fired

Only fuck niggas and cops died, first stage of a riot (First stage of a riot)

And them fucks couldn't sneak by us (Sneak by us)

Oh, you wanna witness some shit? Fah, bitch, be quiet

'Cause they only got what you tell 'em

And the 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 (Ride or die for him), better yet, you better kill him

'Cause I think he gon' be the bitch that tell 'em

And he probably done already told 'em

But then again, without a witness, them bitches ain't got shit

[Chorus: Ill Will]

Said if you're real like me (Like me)

Throw your hoods in the air so the whole wide world can see (Ayy)

Last of a dying breed (Last of a dying breed), last of a dying breed

And if you're real like me (Like me)

Keep that thang on your hip, that's just the way that it's gotta be (That's the way that it's gotta be, baby)

Last of a dying breed (Last of a dying breed), last of a dying breed
