[Intro]
Yo B, what the fuck is deal, son?
Ayo, son, I'm ready to hold this shit down, man
Yo, son, you better turn [?] pretty shit [?]
Hold on, son, I'm ready to rep for the [?]
It's about time a real n***a get on, son, ya nah'mean?
Yo, son, them n***as is waitin' for you to [?], son
I don't even know how I'm doin' it, son, with all the drama I got
All we the n***as we done shot up, stabbed up, nah'mean
Snatched them n***as chains up in the clubs and all that, c'mon, son
Stay safe, son

[Verse 1: Tru Life]
Yo I done ran with a lot of thugs and sold a whole lot of drugs
Been in a lot of beefs and let off a lot of slugs
Never been in the game but I'm cool with a lot of plugs
They like the way I hold it down, I'm thugged out
N***as say I'm bogged out 'cause I walk around with three guns
And I ain't even got beef, I'm just on point, son
Streets got mе in a headlock, I can't get loose
I'm addictеd to fast loot, I'ma die in the street
Prolly in a shootout over some old school beef
I'm one of the last livin' thugs from the whyle out era
When kids got raw for Adidas and shot for 8ball leathers
When n***as used to sniff [?] carry 007s
When I was just a lil' G comin' up in the game
Pullin' guns on old-timers, wantin' money and fame
Stickin' n***as up for three finger rings and rope chains
I was born a thug, die a thug, it's all in my veins
[Chorus: Jewell]
When you're a thug, a thug, a thug, a thug
When you're a thug, when you're a thug
People don't trust you
People don't, people don't
And they don't even know you
Ooh
When you're a thug, a thug, a thug, a thug
When you're a thug, when you're a thug
Have everything against you
Everything against you
And they don't even know you
They don't even know you
When you're a thug

[Verse 2: Prodigy]
Yo, let me 'splain y'all n***as a lil' somethin' 'bout P
I'm fast with the pistolo, blow off your shoulder
Told ya I slide up with the cranberry Rover
And twist half your skull open with the toasters
Nightmare on 12th Street raps, don't sleep
[?] some vice grip on your teeth, M-O-B-B
Crime I-N-C 'til death doors
Scrape my fingertips on bricks, 42 shot clips
That's my shit, do it like the old-timers
I use a wide holster, that's more discreet while I'm post up
Or in motion, most n***as be floatin'
Don't even make eye contact walkin'
Dunn, pay attention, that's how n***as die sooner
Watch who you passin', it might be your reaper
Watch how these Infamous n***as straight beat up
Any cred to my outfit, catch the heater
[Chorus: Jewell]
When you're a thug, a thug, a thug, a thug
When you're a thug, when you're a thug
People don't trust you
People don't, people don't
And they don't even know you
People don't, they don't know you
When you're a thug, a thug, a thug, a thug
When you're a thug, when you're a thug
Have everything against you
Everything
And they don't even know you
They don't know you
When you're a thug

[Verse 3: Kool G Rap]
Yo, I'm from the blocks where you hear the sound of war
The four pounds raw [?] like the front of Nicole Brown's door
The whole town tour infested with n***as so poor
They blow down doors, hold down jaws
From the rooftops to the ground floor when they surround yours
N***as is snake tight waitin' to strike at late night
Blazin' they pipe, ready to take life for [?]
Or Hungarian cats, the ones carrying gats
Wolf n***as [?] in packs, under they sheep's clothes
Rockin' the sleep slope, then the heat blow
Peep those or gets peepholes through your people
It's room service when I'm doing service
Make your face look like the moon surface
Tomb of the Earth, it's [?] the purchase
Chapter closed
End of the novel when the nine nozzle mindboggle
You find 'em hostile, my street breed crime apostles
[Chorus: Jewell]
When you're a thug, a thug, a thug
When you're a thug, when you're a thug
People don't trust you
People don't, people don't
And they don't even know you
They don't know you
When you're a thug, a thug, a thug
When you're a thug, a thug, a thug
Have everything against you
Everything
And they don't even know you
They don't know even you
When you're a thug, a thug, a thug, a thug
When you're a thug people don't
People don't trust you
They don't trust you
And they don't even know you
They don't know even you
When you're a thug, a thug, a thug, a thug
When you're a thug, when you're a thug
Have everything against you
Everything
And they don't even know you
Ooh
When you're a thug
