Why We Thugs |
| Yeah, every hood’s the same |
| Every hood’s the same, come on |
| They give us guns and drugs |
| Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs |
| They wanna count the slugs |
| Then come around here and fuck with us |
| They give us guns and drugs |
| Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs |
| They wanna count the slugs |
| Then come around here and fuck with us |
| I’m from the land of the gang bang |
| Since I was little, ain’t a goddamn thang changed |
| It’s the same old saying |
| Bush run shit like Saddam Hussein |
| I cock and aim, clinically insane |
| To deal with this bullshit day-to-day |
| If I sell some yay or smoke some hay |
| You bitches wanna throw me up in Pelican’s Bay |
| Call me an animal up in the system |
| But who’s the animal that built this prison? |
| Who’s the animal that invented lower-livin'? |
| The projects, thank God for Russell Simmons |
| Thank God for Sugarhill |
| I’m putting a different kind of steel up to my grill |
| Y’all know what it is, scared for your own kids |
| How these ghetto niggas taken over showbiz |
| They give us guns and drugs |
| Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs |
| They wanna count the slugs |
| Then come around here and fuck with us |
| They give us guns and drugs |
| Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs |
| They wanna count the slugs |
| Then come around here and fuck with us |
| It’s boys in the hood, it’s toys in the hood |
| Y’all wanna know why there’s noise in the hood |
| ‘Cause there’s drugs in the hood, thugs in the hood |
| Nigga killed a Crip and a Blood in the hood |
| ‘Cause when niggas get tribal |
| It’s all about survival, nobody liable |
| I got caught by Five-O |
| Grandmama came to court with her Bible |
| But when the judge hit the gavel |
| Now I’m too far from my family to travel |
| I just came unraveled |
| Socked the D.A. |
| before I got gaffled |
| Owned by C. A, State Property |
| Just like the year fifteen fifty three |
| Looking for me, a one-way ticket out |
| Don’t understand, what’s so hard to figure out? |
| They give us guns and drugs |
| Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs |
| They wanna count the slugs |
| Then come around here and fuck with us |
| They give us guns and drugs |
| Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs |
| They wanna count the slugs |
| Then come around here and fuck with us |
| Damn, I can’t take the pressure |
| Pulled the 4−4 up out the dresser |
| Grabbed the weight up out the closet |
| Po-po coming, but I’m scared to toss it |
| Y’all know what happened last time I lost it |
| Can’t tell you niggas what the fuckin' boss did |
| D game got a nigga exhausted |
| Gotta go for the plea bargain they offered |
| Twenty years for what? |
| Breaking these laws that’s so corrupt |
| Taking these halls and fillin' them up |
| Some powder keg shit that’s about to erupt |
| Aye, y’all, I’m about to be stuck |
| Until the year two thousand, what the fuck? |
| In the hood, don’t press your luck |
| ‘Cause these motherfuckers will set you up, word up |
| They give us guns and drugs |
| Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs |
| They wanna count the slugs |
| Then come around here and fuck with us |
| They give us guns and drugs |
| Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs |
| They wanna count the slugs |
| Then come around here and fuck with us |
| Every hood’s the same, every hood’s the same |
| Every hood’s the same, every hood’s the same |
| Every hood’s the same, stop trippin on it |
| Every hood’s the same, every hood’s the same |
| Every hood’s the same, every hood’s the same |
| Every hood’s the same |
