He was a nice middle class n-
But no one knew the evil he'd do when he got a little bigger
Give it up to final blaze
While puffing on a Newport
Plottin′ on another way to catch a case
Was only 16, yet convicted as a felon
With a bunch of old n-
But you the only one they telling
I tell you it's a cold world, stay in school
You tell me it′s a man's world, play the rules
And fade fools, break rules until we major
Blaze up, getting with hoes through my pager
Was raised up, commencing to money makin' tactics
It′s getting drastic, niggas got automatics
My fingers on the trigger, tell the Lord, "Make way for another straight thug n-"
I′m sitting getting buzzed, looking for some love from the homies
'Cause shawty wanna be a Thug
Said he′s gonna be
Said he's gonna be
One day he′s gonna be
Shawty's gonna be a thug
Said he′s gonna be
Say he's gonna be
Said he's gonna be
Shawty′s gonna be a thug
Said he′s gonna be
One day he's gonna be
Say he wanna be
Shawty′s gonna be a thug
Said he gonna be
One day he's gonna be
Said he wanna be
Shawty′s gonna be a thug
Straight from the Hall to the Penn
An adolescent n- scaling weight and standing six feet ten
He carried weight like a Mack truck
Gonna bust on some playa haters
If the mother- act tough
Then that's when the lethal weapon with the razor
This little n- smoking w- and getting blazed up
No one could figure, when the guns blast, pull the trigger
Could take the life of a young n-, guns bigger
No mother and father, you see, this n- all alone
Old timers my role model, the war zone
Relates with this game ′til its a part of me
My heart don't beat no fear, and it ain't hard to see
The future is looking dim
I′m trying to make a profit out of living in this sin
I′m in the dark getting buzzed, looking for some love out with the homies
'Cause shawty wanna be a thug
Said he′s gonna be
Said he's gonna be
One day he′s gonna be
Shawty's gonna be a thug
Said he′s gonna be
One day he's gonna be
Said he's gonna be
Shawty′s gonna be a thug
Said he′s gonna be
One day he's gonna be
Say he wanna be
Shawty′s gonna be a thug
Said he gonna be
One day he's gonna be
Said he wanna be
Shawty′s gonna be a thug
Shawty's gonna be a thug
You little bad a- n-, to the young niggas
Gotta stay sharp n-, play your part
You got plenty of time (you bad motherf-)
You only get three mistakes, and then that′s life big baby (niggas crazy)
Watch the signs
Damn, you ain't but 16 n-?
16
That's a bad motherf-
