Thug Life
So there was a day, when I was in junior high with a B plus grade
At the end of the day, I never joined my homies at the arcade
I walk straight from school to my momma's apartment
I got to tell the sucka's everyday "Hey man don't start it"
Because where i'm at, if your soft your lost
To stay on course, means to roll hard with force
Theres a boy named Rob chilling in his brand new benz
In front of my building with the rest of his friends
I give him a pound, oh i mean i shake his hand
He's the neighborhood drug dealer, my main man
I go upstairs, give a big hug to my mother
Kiss my sister, then deliver a punch to my brother
I sit down on my bed and watch some t.v.
(machine gun fire) Do my ears deceive me?
Nope not at all, it's the fourth time this week
Another fast brotha shot dead in the street
The very next day, while im off to class
My mom and pops go to work, cold busting their ass
My sisters real cute, but she's got no gear
I got three pairs of pants with my brother i share
See there in school, i'm made a fool
Wth one and half pairs of pants, you just not that cool
But theres no spare dollars for anything else
I got beans, rice and bread on my shelf
Every damn day i see my momma struggling
Time i bust my ass and finally do something
Start looking for work, get dissed like a jerk
I do odd jobs, always coming down like a slob
Now heres come Rob, all cold and shivery
He throws me two hundred for a real quick delivery
I do it once, maybe as well do it twice
Now momma is eating steak with her beans and rice
My family is nervous, but they know the deal
My little sister gear, now has sex appeal
My brothers my partner and we're getting that paper
Three months later we run our own caper
My family is now finally happy, it's all new
Now tell me what the fuck am i suppose to do?
Now the money is flowing and everything is fine
Got myself an uzi and my brother a nine
Business is booming and everything is cool
Pull about a G a week so i said fuck school
A year goes by and i begin to grow
Not only in height but in juice and cash flow
I pick up my feet and begin to watch t.v.
Because now i got other people working below me
I got a 55 inch television you know
And every once inawhile i hear just say no
Or the other commercial i love
Is when they say "This is your brain on drugs"
I pick up my remote control and just turn
Because with that bullshit, im just not concerned
See my and my brother jump in the BM
Driving around all our territory again
I stop at the light fast like a superstar
Just when automatic weapons sprayed my car
I hit the accelerator scared as fuck
And drove one block to realize my brother was hit
He asn't yet dead but the blood was pouring
All all i could think about was war and
later i found out it was Rob and his crew
Now tell what the fuck im suppose to do
My brothers out of it, but im still in it
On top of that, im now in it to win it
I cant believe, that Rob would diss me
That faggot, that punk, he's soft, a sissy
Im driving around now with three of my guys
The war is on, and i am on the rise
We rolled right up to his favorite hang out
Said "Hey hello" then let the bullets rang out
Some kids fired back, so we all took cover
All i could thing about, was avenging my brother
Rob jumped up and began to run
Kept busting shots hoping to hit someone
So i just stopped, and let off three shots
Two hit him and one hit a cop
I threw the gun down and began to shout
"Come on i got him, its time to break out!"
But as we ran, there was the boys in blue
Pointing their guns and my four man crew
They shot down one, they shot down two
Now tell me what the fuck am i suppose to do?
