[Intro: Big Lurch]
You rang
Is you down kichy, or even might love to me
Payin', bangin' another time
Look we got the trigger to quicker the caper
Fools leavin' they guns
From the guns to the care to the bed to the scoop
In this life ain't nothing they can think off
But working overtime, n***a
Some motherf**ing hard labor
[Verse 1: Kastro]
They got my
Kickin' in dust, dirty
Bust me, they must be dreamin'
Trust me these cowards heard a murder
And they ain't tryin' to see it
They got 'em in there
When I was to young to be in
So now I'm comatosed, shellshocked and barely breathin'
But
Still I respect the game
Test me, you ain't Hussein
Outlaw like Josey Wales
Too tough to try to change
C-Bo, they take me, change no
We just slow at home
Ready for war plus we deadly
[Verse 2: Young Noble]
I remember when one of my teachers told me
That I ain't sh**, and ain't gon never be sh**
Look at me now b**h and fluwed your kid with this
Now we're rainin' on our enemies
Hennessy got me critically
Suddenly, instantly
Knew their planin' with my misery
It's to me from Makaveli the general
Military mind, outlaw with camisole
Critical condition for that hoes he fold
It Hard Labor, knowin' this rap sh** might save us
Not from d**h, but where we came from
[Chorus: Napolean]
n***a, all we do is act a fool is stay thugged out (Thugged out)
And the first n***a that act up was gettin' thugged out
Change the paper...
[Young Noble - Outlaw Immortalz]
...it's Hard Labor
Made the biggest plan that n***as makin'
Sound aped, cause it is rapin'
They can't fake it more
[Verse 3: Storm]
Gotta make more warriors
Runnin' through my veins
The story's told while the game's the same
f** the world with your money, man, play the game
Got stuck with your heartbeat, who's to blame
What you know what I want, when you're bad as yours
Got a vision of my enemies hittin' the floor
From Makaveli to my Outlawz, I back 'em all
Keep your mind on my riches, when I even the score
First n***a where you at, speak, friend of fo'
Got a 9-G locked, it's for if you fall
Shoot first, let's play no different face
I die for the sh**, n***a Hard Labor
[Verse 4: Kastro]
Pick up my block, co*k
Please not wanna put a stop to my plot
They locked my b**h up
And even tried to lock in my pops
It's Hard Labor, my moms, you craw me thinkin' to major
Mad, cause, nowadays too many hoes is on my pager
p**y and paper
Pencil, politics and praise you
Chase you and even chase me
Straight to the penitentiary
n***a, the hard life, hard fight and hard capers
n***a, we're all thugs, overdosed in Hard Labor
[Interlude: Big Lurch]
Walked in the club and said a n***a d** do us all
Looked up and see my n***a Big C-Bo
[Verse 5: C-Bo]
Check I was born to this life ,a sin, as a young thug
Releasin' stress over (?) gin, laced with mud
From day one I knew is wasn't no motherf**in' love
They use to jump doin' hands and now they jump in new as lust
I was confused first to see a church
On this hell on earth
But it was them fools first to took earth
For what it was worth
I was raised in this great community
When there was no unity
And n***as be on they own
As soon they reached (?cutety?)
Be you and me
Runnin' back, in a Cadillac
Fresh of a jack
With two straps in a Pontiac
With only one life to live
I guess the Lord had only one life to give
It seems so trifully, bought a hill
This fast n***a's life's a sin
It's hell on earth, ain't nothin' worse
Than givin' birth to kid
Talk to sin until he buried to dirt
It's been a thug life since day one
When I was thugged in
25 Years later got rid off thuggin' Hard Labor
