I been a thug so long
Can remember when I was home
Livin life as a kid wanna be grown
Them days are all gone
Life seems to fade away
Think about my n***as that played
In the game of life and they payed
Them n***as all gone
I been a thug so long
Can remember when I was home
Livin life as a kid wanna be grown
Them days are all gone
Life seems to fade away
Think about my n***as every day
And all the games we played
Them days are all gone
(Money Mark Diggla)
It all started with a thug
A young thug like me
Tryna make it the streets
Where it’s all about G’s
And tryna duck the police, and every known disease
A lil something for my n***as on the stroll
To let em know that nowadays ain’t like the days of old
For my n***as in the pen and my n***as in the cemetery just because they died of a common cold
So lord bless the souls of who chose not to listen to their elders
Like their mamas and daddys
Where the fuck would I be if I ain’t listen to the ones that had me
So I gradually
Came up and became a man
With the wisdom and understanding
And some help from the OG’s
Smoke trees
As a R I P to my homies
Gone
(Hook)
I been a thug so long
Can remember when I was home
Livin life as a kid wanna be grown
Them days are all gone
Life seems to fade away
Think about my n***as that played
In the game of life and they payed
Them n***as all gone
I been a thug so long
Can remember when I was home
Livin life as a kid wanna be grown
Them days are all gone
Life seems to fade away
Think about my n***as every day
And all the games we played
Them days are all gone
(Trick Daddy)
Lord knows I’ll die for my dawg
For life I’ll ride for my dawg
So when times hard I just talk to the lord
And be like god why you make the streets so hard
It’s hard times that I can’t afford and
Thug life that keeps me going
So why I kneel and pray
And sincere at heart
It’s the grace of god that keeps my strong
I know what I’m doing is wrong
When I’m thugging slinging smoking and drinking
But when the high is gone and the smoke clear I’ll be laying in the cut just thinking
You know bout back in the days
And all the n***as that we lost to the grave
All the mamas that lost they mind and all the babies that died from aids
But I’m change the game and imma wave the flag and sing god bless America
Then imma terrorize the taliban cause them the ones that’s tryna tear us up
Ha!

Doing 160 in fifth gear
Up all night sinnin with no fear
Don’t know about heaven hell right here
Spent life in the jail cell right here
Came up in projects right here
Learned that corner life right here
I was born in it
Thug life sworn it
Had flesh torn in it two dogs gone in it
My mind tormented
They increase police
And we increase armaments
It’s a cold world hold heat keep warm in it
And no sun in it
Spend b’s no fun in it
Fuckin these hoes but ain’t no love in it
N***a hate two things
That’s my life and the motherfuckin government
I’m a pawn in a bloody game
5’10 220 frame
Bad man with a muddy name
N***a it’s a funny thing
Got addicted to money things
Now it’s a funny thing how these money things
Got me addicted to funny things
And the funny thing
Probably gone lose my life
Over bullshit and money things
I’m gone
