Lyrics of 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
