| Live by the sword, die by the sword
|
| Believe in the Lord, and the laws of the Lord
|
| And when you ride for the cause, keep an eye on the cause
|
| You ever lose sight, and you blind as a mole
|
| We must decide if they rise, decide if they fall
|
| Alive with the light, you can shine on 'em all
|
| We all designed to be strong, sometimes we’ll be right
|
| And sometimes we’ll be wrong, we must weather the storm
|
| It’s the design of it all, we’ll never know it all
|
| Just love one another and honor father and mother
|
| When you kind you’ll see it grow, with hate you’ll never know
|
| It’s crawled up outta the gutter, the thoughts the spirit help us
|
| When you find you’re in a hole, you search you’re inner soul
|
| You search to get the truth, and you find you’re way to go
|
| It’s the design of it all, you’ll find what it means
|
| A struggle to succeed when life is like a dream
|
| That’s why the thugs never cry (thugs never cry)
|
| From the thunder and rain, just look into my eyes
|
| That’s why the thugs never cry (thugs never cry)
|
| The world is a ghetto, we gots to stay alive
|
| That’s why the thugs never cry (thugs never cry)
|
| We’re hoping for change and puffin' on some?
|
| That’s why the thugs never cry (thugs never cry)
|
| Bizzy is back, only the strong survive
|
| So wipe the tears with a sleave, and just 'cause you believe
|
| One day you gon have what you want, what you gonna be
|
| When the winds don’t blow, and God don’t make mo'
|
| Keep an eye on the stone, and oh, just remember
|
| The world gets dark, and you carry your heart
|
| Just open up your opens eyes, and insipre the whole art
|
| From the birds to the bees, the snakes and the trees
|
| The lakes and the sea, the brakes in the sea
|
| And when the tide ship down, and nobodies around
|
| Ain’t nothing to be found, and uh… I don’t make a sound
|
| No nobody and no preasance and yes you’re? |
| the essance
|
| Of creation in the making and the patiance of the Satans
|
| Ever blessings queen, message to a king, and a gift to a prince
|
| Like a gift to a ring, for the love of a slave
|
| Yes Adam and Eve, a slave that loved God before she bit the tree
|
| That’s why the thugs never cry (thugs never cry)
|
| From the thunder and rain, just look into my eyes
|
| That’s why the thugs never cry (thugs never cry)
|
| The world is a ghetto, we gots to stay alive
|
| That’s why the thugs never cry (thugs never cry)
|

|
| That’s why the thugs never cry (thugs never cry)
|
| Bizzy is back, only the strong survive
|
| If you do then you ?, you don’t then you?
|
| You ever been in that situation without a plan?
|
| And if you tried and you can’t
|
| Just get up out the streets, and hustle to get your money
|
| And make sure that you be that
|
| I go to church and see sin, get punched in the chin
|
| And a brother saves his brother, you’ll never do it again
|
| And the child drinking Hen, and you’re mad at his dad
|
| I’m in the army just to keep this whole world in harmony
|
| It ain’t nothing like Shaq, whose dad walked out
|
| Who never knew he’d grow and ride and make it out
|
| It’s like God and the sun, a flower and a bun
|
| A tower and a plane, that never destroyed none
|
| It’s the design of it all, the time of it all
|
| The crime of it all, and the life of it all
|
| Pick up your eyes to the sky, and never ask why
|
| You really know the answers and I
|
| That’s why the thugs never cry (thugs never cry)
|
| From the thunder and rain, just look into my eyes
|
| That’s why the thugs never cry (thugs never cry)
|
| The world is a ghetto, we gots to stay alive
