The Killer Instinct

We all wear our hunger on our heart

In the cold blooded academy of ghetto streets

It ain't treason if it's a good reason

We're only as real as the promises we keep

The strength of the wolf lies in the pack

And the loneliness can get you in trouble

Let's go feed the vultures down in this concrete jungle

There's a flag of inconvenience

that flies above this town

Where they build you up to touch the sky

Before they bring you down

You gotta live with a killer instinct

You gotta die a little to survive

You gotta love with a killer instinct

You gotta hurt a little to get by

The streets have burned since midnight

There's tension in the air

Another waste of time and life in another warlord's lair

Just one more shot in the mainline

Straighter than a preacher's dream

All the animals come out at night

It's a sundown primal scene

There's a flag of inconvenience

that flies above this town

Where they build you up to touch the sky

Before they bring you down

You gotta live with a killer instinct

You gotta die a little to survive

You gotta love with a killer instinct

You gotta hurt a little to get by

There's no saints in the wild kingdom

You gotta prowl like a beast of prey

You gotta live with a killer instinct

You gotta die a little everyday

You gotta live with a killer instinct

You gotta die a little to survive

You gotta love with a killer instinct

You gotta hurt a little to get by

You gotta live with a killer instinct

You gotta die a little to survive

You gotta love with a killer instinct

You gotta hurt a little to get by
