[Young Noble] We don't shed tears we shed blood Do you still wanna be a thug? HUH? WHAT? We don't shed tears we shed blood Do you still wanna be a thug? Yo, criminal ways of thinkin made me crave Abe Lincolns The days I spent stinkin caught victims on the weekends Seeking a better path, expose a better half of me Blast for me, the task after me For a few years sheddin tattooed tears Like Gram' Sammy, we feudin for the whole damn family We scarred up, homies is barred up for mad time Outlawz locked down for some past crimes Fast dimes made my stash grow smaller Your block ain't no harder, fake baller [Napoleon] n***a it's like this I been thuggin just for the cause of it Out to get all of it, but I'll never loose my balls and sh** And it's all for the pressure That'll make me co*k my sh** up off the dresser Made n***a mafia of course my n***as gonna test ya Answers to the questions, bullets to my Smith N' Wesson Still stucked up in a f** session, Jersey where the n***as flexin Po-po's guessin if the stolen car gonna do a drive-by Wet em up from his shoulders, leave him bye-bye Now mama cry-cry, but it ain't my time to either die-die So ask me why-why, but I feel that God owe me my life For the things he did, but I turn my pleasure into sin Blazed out sheddin tattoed tears Chorus [Kadafi] sh**.. ain't no unity in my community it's do or die Seein my opprunities through these bars of hell while gettin high As life replays like time; underhanded schemes To get that cream and thangs while livin this life of crime My enemies want me squeezed They get dumped like 3's, with 57 wasted at they knees Please beware we thugs revolution size Criminals dare be last mental me intitutionalize Locked down, got many shell shocked, now Holdin down fort like I'm stuck in court cell block style [Kastro] Yo I been loosin sleep, stay awake way past late Visions of k**ers en ma**e at the blast mayne As I lay here gatted down and tatted Knowin now it's hard to slow down for a addict It's been years of stugglin, guzzlin beers Beefin and never even, ain't no love in the air And I suffer my sh** in hell, talkin to the heavens Walkin thru the valley of d**h with my fellas I lost a lot, startin with hope I tried And for every tattoo I got a moment I cried I'm thru with the lies, the two in my eyes, yell pain Step in my shoes, nuttin to lose, but my brain I'mma hold it down tho', with all the struggle to bear Ain't nothing to fear, cryin these tattooed tears Come on... Chorus (repeats to fade)
