Said he wanna be, one day he's gonna be Said he wanna be, shorty's gonna be a thug [Verse 1] Was a nice middle-class nigga But no one knew the evil he'd do when he got a little bigger You'd often find him blazed For puffing on a Newport, plotting on another way to catch a case Was only sixteen, yet convicted as a felon With a bunch of old niggas, but you the only one ain't tellin' 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, commence to money-makin' tactics, uh It's getting drastic, niggas got automatics My finger's on the trigger Tell the Lord make way for another straight thug nigga I'm sitting, getting buzzed Looking for some love from the homies ‘cause shorty wanna be a thug [Chorus] Said he's gonna be, said he's gonna be One day he's gonna be, shorty's gonna be a thug Said he wanna be, said he wanna be One day he's gonna be, shorty's gonna be a thug Said he's gonna be, one day he's gonna be Said he wanna be, shorty's gonna be a thug Said he wanna be, one day he's gonna be Said he wanna be, shorty's gonna be a thug [Verse 2] Straight from the halls to the pen An adolescent nigga standing way higher than six feet ten He carried weight, like a Mack truck Gonna bust on playa haters, if them motherfuckers act tuff Then that's when, a lethal weapon with the razor This little nigga smoking weed and getting blazed up No one could figure, when the guns blast, pull the trigger Could take the life of a young nigga, guns bigger No mother and father, you see, the nigga's all alone Old timers my role model, the war zone Been laced with this game 'til it's a part of me My heart don't beat no fear, and that ain't hard to see The future's looking dim I'm tryna 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 shorty wanna be a thug [Chorus] Said he's gonna be, said he's gonna be One day he's gonna be, shorty's gonna be a thug Said he's wanna be, one day he's gonna be Said he's gonna be, shorty's gonna be a thug Said he's wanna be, one day he's gonna be Said he wanna be, shorty's gonna be a thug Said he wanna be, one day he's gonna be Said he wanna be, shorty's gonna be a thug [Outro] Shorty's gonna be a thug Little bad ass nigga, to the young niggas Gotta stay sharp, nigga, play your part!
