Everybody Wanna Be Thugs

And it ain't nothin' better than a gun in hand
Out on the corner perfomin' tryin' to be soldiers
It's about that time for the thugs to unite
Keep my nose in my business and worry about nobody else

They really don't 'cause if they lived my life they'd understand
Just remember that I told ya, slow down, down, down

And it ain't nothin' better than a gun in hand
Everybody wanna be thugs
We got guns waitin'

(Thug nation)
But if it ain't inside your blood then this
Back for revenge or whatever, loc we havin' none of that
And it ain't nothin' better than a gun in hand
A lot like my daddy, but then again I'm like myself
And he died in a day aw, shame, shame, shame
And it ain't nothin' better than a gun in hand
Everybody wanna be thugs
Niggaz for they self, no love

See, I've been runnin' from the po-po ever since I was 11
Everybody wanna be thugs

And it ain't nothin' better than a gun in hand
Everybody wanna be thugs
Nigga bellin', ain't tryin' to get kept and slept in the cell, man

Soon as the enemy run up, blaze 'em

Now to my youngsters with they guns
Got a mind of my own aside from Bone
Temptation over took my devils persuasion
Everybody wanna be thugs
Picture niggaz in a single file line
In the streets we play for keeps, niggaz ain't comin'
Everybody wanna be thugs

And it ain't nothin' better than a gun in hand
Thugline, frontline, nigga it ain't scared, we done time
All crying, upset because their niggaz died, nobody know why
Niggaz for they self, no love
Niggaz for they self, no love

Rappin' but we dangerous, dangerous
They really don't 'cause if they lived my life they'd understand
They really don't 'cause if they lived my life they'd understand
Leatherface is on the rampage, murder mangler, strangler
And if he 'bout it don't sing about it nigga bring up out that shit
So nigga don't think that you can run up
Just like one of my niggaz tried to hang
Platinum packin' magnum never leave the house without it
(Mo' hits)
So scandalous, you better keep your protection

See it don't say nothin' just to find out we kinda stupid
They really don't 'cause if they lived my life they'd understand
Talk mo' shit I'm still a street thug, but I make mo' hits
Battlin' Satan, but the plate that he made us looks so tasty

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

And he was a thug nigga, you get the picture?
Still trying to come up on something like some paper, cash money
Then I raise up, nigga that's the way thugs do it

We all trying to swang on the same goddamn vine

Niggaz for they self, no love
(Tonight, night)
And let this motherfucker burn tonight
If you a thug get up and join this thug nation
They really don't 'cause if they lived my life they'd understand
Two-double-O-zero, niggaz is desperate to make it
And test me when I'm alone 'cause I got the chrome
(Guns waitin')
It's so many dying 'cause too many trying to shine
Makin' me chase the paper while trying to break 'em, I blaze 'em
Niggaz for they self, no love
To tame the thug, we aim to drain the blood from your skull
I'm lookin' at all my niggaz on the corner
'Cause the grass and the blunts ain't the only thing we wet up

(Blaze 'em)
What you came with it just ain't enough
Bullet hit him in the brain

Ain't the game that you tryin' to play
Niggaz for they self, no love
I know you wanna be a thug, and do what we done
