[Intro]
This for my Y, H, U, N, G n***as out here livin' this thug lifestyle know what I'm sayin'? Know it's a lot of people, emulating, imitating, tryna be some shit they not (I know I'm a thug). You know, we don't do this shit just to be, we do this shit to eat, you see (In this world ain't no love)? It's a difference between a scared shooter and a killer (I know I'm a thug), believe me I done seen 'em. So since you talking this thug shit I wanna see if you really ready, you know what I'm sayin'?

[Verse 1]
Since a baby my n***a
Life been crazy my n***a
Life if you ain't want a n***a, why you make me my n***a?
But shit it's all good
I'm from the V where n***as speak 'cause it's a small hood
Screaming, "Fuck the VPD"
Dodgin' cops, fuck the opps
One up top and we steppin'
Legends die in they sections so I stay wit' my weapon
I had to make a plan, but they ain't wanna see me out
You gotta take a stand
You know the richest n***a still gon' have the upper hand
Already slid through once, we tryna come again
Ain't no love for the bitch she just gon' run it in
His brother dead, his mama 'bout to lose a son again
'Cause these n***as gotta die if they ain't for the land
Shit get deep in these streets
They prey on the weak
I got demons in my sleep
At war wit' no peace
If you got the vision to see it, it's right in your reach (I just got one question for you young n***a, I know I'm a thug)
You gotta be prepared to die to be what you destined to be
[Chorus]
We don't shed tears, we shed blood
Do you still wanna be a thug? (In this world ain't no love)
We don't shed tears, we shed blood
Do you still wanna be a thug? (I know I'm a thug)
We don't shed tears, we shed blood
Do you still wanna be a thug? (In this world ain't no love)
We don't shed tears, we shed blood
Do you still wanna be a thug?

[Verse 2]
Wouldn't ask you what you spent up on that chain 'cause I know it's cheap
Smell exotic burning, do you know it's me?
We slidin' every day this week
Suckas can't even sleep
Remember back we was on 'em, two times a day at least (Spying on 'em)
But I gotta get this bag 'cause this street shit don't last
I ain't never shoot the dice but I was betting wit' my last
Stripped a n***a for a hammer, then YB he did the dash
And n***as knowing that it's us 'cause we got tired of wearing masks
Probably why they hate a n***a, wanna erase a n***a
I ain't wanna take his life but why he have to make a n***a
Forgive me for my sins if you could, I would
Pray every day that you wake, you should
Be thankful and grateful 'cause every day a blessing
But as long as I'm steppin' n***a I'm gon' keep on stepping
Be reckless, shoot first, fuck asking all them questions
In case I never left it I just hope he got the message
On the gang
[Chorus]
We don't shed tears, we shed blood
Do you still wanna be a thug? (In this world ain't no love)
We don't shed tears, we shed blood
Do you still wanna be a thug? (I know I'm a thug)
We don't shed tears, we shed blood
Do you still wanna be a thug? (In this world ain't no love)
We don't shed tears, we shed blood
Do you still wanna be a thug? (I know I'm a thug)

[Outro]
Just wanna know, you know what I'm saying. 'Cause this in this lifestyle you know this shit get tricky. Sometimes things be wit' you then they against you. You know you never know it, it's just how this shit be. You know? But you gotta just get this money you know? Huh keep running it up, keep getting it, you know. N***as gon' wanna see you fail but at the end of the day we living in hell so what difference does it make? Smoking out the people we used to smoke apes, you know? Keeping this shit lit for all my thugs you know. Thug 'til I die. This the hate they gave us, so how you gon' blame us?
