  • Uh
    Yeah, uh, that's right, uh, yeah
    Yeah, uh
    I was raised by the wolves (I was raised by)
    I was raised by the wolves (I was raised by)

    I was raised by the wolves, ate 'til they full (I was raised by)
    Run through the night, playing with ya life
    Go against the pack, that's risking ya life (I was raised by)
    Better play it right, yeah, you better play it right

    I got loyalty and blood, I do anything for love
    And everything for us, doing everything like everything ain't been too much
    You know my favorite time to come through for ya is the clutch, last second, what a rush
    Look, I'm the type to talk to the stars (I look up)
    Straight up, these ain't tattoos these are scars
    My young dogs will tear you and the witnesses apart (straight up)
    They care about starving more than they do about a charge (whoa, whoa, whoa)
    Me, I can't break a commitment (no)
    I done seen people fuck up the whole team 'cause they couldn't play they position
    Talking about they didn't mean it, bitch
    You know the road to hell was paved with good intentions
    I see myself in my nemesis, I contemplated forgiveness, I think I lost all my innocence
    Ho, my life depend on this, this ain't no simple sucka shit
    Try and steal and you get bit, that's what you mothafucking get
    I feel safer taking risks and I can't eat this on my own life
    Put my back against the wall just to see how much I've grown, dawg

    I was raised by the wolves, ate 'til they full (I was raised by)
    Run through the night, playing with ya life
    Go against the pack, that's risking ya life (I was raised by)
    Better play it right, better play it right

    I was raised by the wolves, ate 'til they full
    Run through the night, playing with ya life
    Go against the pack, that's risking ya life
    Better play it right, yeah, you better play it right

    I was raised by the wolves, paid all my dues
    Always in the game and never played by the rules
    Try to make me leave, fell down to my knees
    Picked myself up and turned my back to the breeze
    Oh, oh-oh
    Spent a milli on a milli, mama look at me
    With all these diamond chokers, man, it's getting hard to breathe
    Now that you are family, cut some branches off my tree
    But if you in my circle, know I'll always be around
    Don't let me down, you said you'd die for me, well, there's the ground
    Ice on my wrist, ice in my veins
    But it's a cold, cold world, and you can be predator, you can be prey

    I was raised by the wolves, ate 'til they full
    Run through the night, playing with ya life
    Go against the pack, that's risking ya life
    Better play it right, better play it right

    'Cause I was raised by the wolves, ate 'til they full ('til they full)
    Run through the night, playing with ya life (with ya life)
    Go against the pack, that's risking ya life (risking ya life)
    Better play it right, yeah, you better play it right

    I was raised by the wolves (I was raised by)
    I was raised by the wolves (I was raised by)
    I was raised by the wolves, ate 'til they full (I was raised by)
    Run through the night, playing with ya life
    Go against the pack that's risking ya life
    Better play it right, yeah, you better play it right (woo) Writer/s: Austin Post, David Biral, Denzel Baptiste, Sam Austin, Sean Anderson, Travis Walton
