sh**
I've been a thug my whole motherf**ing life
Struggling, doing what the f** I've got to do to survive
Bottom line, thugline
You see me on TV but you don't really know me
Don't know the story of the warrior and how I survived in this game
n***a never had sh**
Had to work to get it or I had to steal it
Most of the time I was hungry, that's why I did it
I ain't bullsh**tin', seventeen
I'm leavin' the house, I need my own
n***a done tried to be grown and f**ed around
Now I'm homeless on the streets
With my n***as I learned about every drug
The h**ne, the weed, the speed, the crack, the sherm
But we was broke and we couldn't afford it
But n***as was schemin' and plottin' on sh**
Oh yes, you know this, I come from a long line of thugs
Us strugglers hustle what we can rustle up
It might not have been too much
But we always got just enough, our hard times
Kept n***as together through all the windy weather
And n***a whenever you need somebody to roll
I'm goin' to be there, you know me
A n***a stayed thug devoted in the streets
When I didn't have a place to sleep or sh** to eat
My family goin through some pains
They struggle but they make out
My people off their hinges and it was against our religion as a witness
So you know I really can't comprehend it
My mother and father told me
"Don't mess with d** and why you smokin'?"
I was right or wrong? Can't understand it
If the purpose was to have a n***a struggle
I don't think they should have had me, had me
Think they never should of had me
As I drop to my knees, can't you see I ain't happy?
I hope it won't be long, I hope it won't be long
Before I end this song, I wanna end this song
I hope it won't be long, it won't be long
I need to end this song, this sad song
I hope it won't be long, I hope it won't be long
Before I end this song, I need to end this song
I hope it won't be long, it won't be long
I need to end this song, sad song
