Lyrics of Shorty wanna be a thug

(intro/chorus: 2pac)
Say he wanna be
Shorties gonna be a thug

Said he wanna be
One day he's gonna be
Said he's wanna be
Shorties gonna be's a thug (3x)

(verse one)
Was a nice middle class nigga
But no one knew, the evil he'd do, when he got a little bigger
Get off the final blaze, while puffing on a newport
Plotting on a another way to catch a case
Was only sixteen, yet convicted as a felon
With a bunch of old niggas, but you the only one ain't telling
I tell you it's a cold world, stay in school
You tell me its a man's world, play the rules
And fade fools, and break rules until we major
Blaze up, getting with hos through my pager
Was raised up, commencing to money making tactics
It's getting drastic, niggas got automatics
My fingers on the trigger, tell the lord
To make way for another straight thug nigga
I'm sitting getting buzzed, looking for some love
From the homies, cause shorty wanna be a thug

(chorus)

(verse two)
Straight from the hall to the penn
An adolescent nigga standing way higher than six feet ten
He carried weight like a mack truck

Gonna bust on some player haters, if the motherfuckers act tough
Then thats when the lethal weapon with the razor
This little nigga smoking weed and getting blazed up
No one could figure, when the guns blast pull the trigger
Could take the life of a young nigga, gun's bigger
No mother and father, you see, the niggas all alone
Old timers my role model, the war zone
Released with this game until its a part of me
My heart don't beat no fear and it ain't hard to see
The future is looking dim
I'm trying to make a profit out of living in this sin
I'm in the dark getting buzzed, looking for some love
Out with the homies, cause shorty wanna be a thug

(chorus)

(outro: 2pac)
Shorty gonna be a thug
(you little bad ass nigga)
To the young niggas
Gotta stay sharp nigga
(play your part)
You got plenty of time
(you bad motherfuckers)
You only get three mistakes, then thats life, big baby
(niggas crazy)
Watch the signs
Damn, you ain't but sixteen nigga?
Sixteen?!
That's a bad motherfucker
