featuring Chico DeBarge




[Noreaga] *DeBarge sings in background*




Y'know what I mean? This for the woman y'know what'm sayin? Coming up just



trying to get a nut. Y'all really understand what we doing. Ya know? Y'all



understand that we hurting y'all y'all come attatched. It's all good. This



one for y'all y'know what I mean? Yo ya know? Its crazy. We all together.




[Noreaga]




I used to cut pies in front of my girl, now I apologized



The reason why: (My fault) she seen the red in my eyes



When I was cuttin it, feelin like the archives



Choppin it down, thinkin I'm, choosing my prize



Never hit the street with out my heat, boo, told me not to



Said, "Paps, we know the jake 'ill try to knock you"



You do your thing, boo, I'll still be there, don't mean to knock you



I know its hard fuckin with a thug nigga like me



Thinkin would I get locked?



Come home tonight or not?



Black Princess, kiss you when I see you



White women suntan and try to be you



The ?Mellanin? in your skin, make it all see-through



Sometimes he hurt y'all, not understanding what we doing



Sweatin at the foul line like Pat Ewing



Yo from all the brothers



I dedicate to the mothers



My mother, grandmother of the Earth



If it wasn't for women, then it wouldn't be birth



What, its all real




Chorus [Chico DeBarge]




We're just some thug people (That's what we are)



That's what we are, trying hard to change the way we live



(Change the way we live)



But we can't take back, cause thats what we are



Trying hard to change the way life we live




[Noreaga]




Yo, yo, aiyyo, you got chronic? You got
