Everybody Wanna Be Thugs

Everybody wanna be thugs

They really don't 'cause if they lived my life they'd understand

Niggaz for they self, no love

And it ain't nothin' better than a gun in hand

Everybody wanna be thugs

They really don't 'cause if they lived my life they'd understand

Niggaz for they self, no love

And it ain't nothin' better than a gun in hand

I'm lookin' at all my niggaz on the corner

Still trying to come up on something like some paper, cash money

Two-double-O-zero, niggaz is desperate to make it

Battlin' Satan, but the plate that he made us looks so tasty

Temptation over took my devils persuasion

Makin' me chase the paper while trying to break 'em, I blaze 'em

Then I raise up, nigga that's the way thugs do it

See it don't say nothin' just to find out we kinda stupid

In the streets we play for keeps, niggaz ain't comin'

Back for revenge or whatever, loc we havin' none of that

So scandalous, you better keep your protection

'Cause the grass and the blunts ain't the only thing we wet up

Everybody wanna be thugs

They really don't 'cause if they lived my life they'd understand

Niggaz for they self, no love

And it ain't nothin' better than a gun in hand

See, I've been runnin' from the po-po ever since I was 11

Nigga bellin', ain't tryin' to get kept and slept in the cell, man

A lot like my daddy, but then again I'm like myself

Keep my nose in my business and worry about nobody else

Got a mind of my own aside from Bone

So nigga don't think that you can run up

And test me when I'm alone 'cause I got the chrome

Talk mo' shit I'm still a street thug, but I make mo' hits

(Mo' hits)

Platinum packin' magnum never leave the house without it

And if he 'bout it don't sing about it nigga bring up out that shit

Thugline, frontline, nigga it ain't scared, we done time

Leatherface is on the rampage, murder mangler, strangler

What you came with it just ain't enough

To tame the thug, we aim to drain the blood from your skull

Rappin' but we dangerous, dangerous

Everybody wanna be thugs

They really don't 'cause if they lived my life they'd understand

Niggaz for they self, no love

And it ain't nothin' better than a gun in hand

Everybody wanna be thugs

They really don't 'cause if they lived my life they'd understand

Niggaz for they self, no love

And it ain't nothin' better than a gun in hand

Now to my youngsters with they guns

Out on the corner perfomin' tryin' to be soldiers

Just remember that I told ya, slow down, down, down

I know you wanna be a thug, and do what we done

But if it ain't inside your blood then this

Ain't the game that you tryin' to play

Just like one of my niggaz tried to hang

And he died in a day aw, shame, shame, shame

Bullet hit him in the brain

And he was a thug nigga, you get the picture?

Picture niggaz in a single file line

All crying, upset because their niggaz died, nobody know why

It's so many dying 'cause too many trying to shine

We all trying to swang on the same goddamn vine

It's about that time for the thugs to unite

And let this motherfucker burn tonight

(Tonight, night)

If you a thug get up and join this thug nation

(Thug nation)

We got guns waitin'

(Guns waitin')

Soon as the enemy run up, blaze 'em

(Blaze 'em)

Everybody wanna be thugs

They really don't 'cause if they lived my life they'd understand

Niggaz for they self, no love

And it ain't nothin' better than a gun in hand

Everybody wanna be thugs

They really don't 'cause if they lived my life they'd understand

Niggaz for they self, no love
