[Repeat 5X]
Maybe it's the thug in me
[2Pac]
Ever since I was a young scrub
I was a thug on the corner with my n***as slangin d**
And runnin from the narcs when they pa** by, don't ask why
I'm a hustler, till my a** die
Even if I do come up, I'll be ready when they run up, huh
I'll be a nut to put my gun up, huh
I never trust these hoes at all
f**in with them tramp-a** s*uts you supposed to fall
Said she played you for your money but the sh** was cool
Guess it's true, n***as be b**hes too
You can't see how she worked you, all up in the skirt
Now you lookin like a jerk cause she hurt you
Now head's up, don't be a playa hater, just peep game
Keep your mind on your money watch the b**h change
See hoes love thugs, and thugs love loot
Hand it over motherf**er 'fore I shoot - who do you love?
[Hook: repeat 2X except last line second time]
Maybe it's the thug in me, maybe it's the thug in me
Tell me who do you love?
Maybe it's the thug in me, maybe it's the thug in me
Who do you love?
[2Pac]
I'm livin that, thug life bay-bee!
Steady smokin indo, goin cra-zy
Baby come and hug me when you rub me, turn the lights down
We in the dark, do you love me?
Everybody's talkin 'bout they, KNOW ME
But they ain't down like my motherf**in homies
Tell me what you need when you, SEE ME
And we can get it on, BEOTCH, take it ea-sy
Don't try to hold me, control me
But you can take my number baby call me when you lone-ly
Cause it's a man's world, ain't no need to ask why
I'm high 'til I die, and strapped with my fo'-five
Cause you can lose it in the gutter
I wonder if I'll die by the hands of another broke motherf**er
They call me the alcoholer, I'm all in
Thug for life n***a ballin
I'm gettin tired of these hoes tryin to play me
You can't fade me and my n***as goin crazy
All day long I'm straight thuggin, and constantly mean muggin
Breakin the b**hes that be buggin tell me who do you love?
[Hook - this time with the last line the second time]
