[Intro]
Aw shit, you know what this is
(This for the motherfuckin' streets, n***a)
Hmm, thug life
(This for the gutter, n***a)
Thug life
(Badazz 3.5, n***a)
Thug life

[Verse 1]
Seein' J's on the corner when I'm walkin' out the school
Wasn't in my head but in my eyes, I'ma loot
Me and my lil' dude and we pack a .22
Fuck 'round if you want, I'm gon' put this bitch on you
Roosevelt Street Projects, hittin' n***as up
Can't stand bitches, man, they set n***as up, wet n***as up
I promise I done seen some cold shit
N***as slicing throats of the ones they roll with
Four shit, no ho shit, this the life I dove in
Can't go right, this thug life chose me
N***a get on the corner, I seen this shit as a kid
Most my uncles in the pen, this the life a n***a live

[Chorus]
Thug life (This that thug shit)
Why did you surround me with this life? (Thug life)
Do you care whether you live or you die? (You know what this is, n***a)
Thug life (Four shit, no ho shit)
Thug life (Bitch ass n***a)
Nothin' to lose, I'm gon' ride tonight
[Verse 2]
Daily fightin', mama, can't we all get along?
Marvin Gaye, where you at? Right now they need a song
Uncle cook my coke, think he goin' in my zones
Had to learn to cook my own and it ain't even take me long
Turned the rap money to the trap money, now it's up
Now even bitches who ain't holler at a n***a tryna fuck
Hit the block, sewed up, purple pop poured up
In the drop with lil' Ivy, all the hoes love us, n***a, roll up
They killed my dawg, now it's war in the city
Murder my enemy, my n***a, we destroyin' the city
It ain't no "finna be," my n***a, it's some ASAP shit
Catch that boy, we gon' jack that bitch, fuck that n***a

[Chorus]
Thug life (He a ho, fuck that n***a)
Why did you surround me with this life? (Straight up, n***a, help me, God)
Do you care whether you live or you die? (I don't even motherfuckin' know, n***a, I don't give a fuck)
Thug life (Straight up)
Thug life (This all I know, n***a)
Nothin' to lose, I'm gon' ride tonight

[Outro]
Police tryna take my energy (Thug)
Bitches sleepin' with the enemy (It's thug)
Lil jits packin' guns (Jits packin' guns)
It ain't safe where I'm from
Daily fightin', mama, can't we all get along?
Marvin Gaye, they need a song
Daily fightin', mama, can't we all get along?
Marvin Gaye, they need a song
Daily fightin', mama, daily fightin'
Can't we all get along, 'long?
Thug life
