Thug So Long

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 niggas that played In the game of life and they payed Them niggas 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 niggas 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 niggas on the stroll To let em know that nowadays ain’t like the days of old For my niggas in the pen and my niggas 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 niggas that played In the game of life and they payed Them niggas 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 niggas 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 niggas 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! (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 niggas that played In the game of life and they payed Them niggas 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 niggas every day And all the games we played Them days are all gone (Society) 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 Nigga 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 Nigga 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 (Guitar solo) (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 niggas that played In the game of life and they payed Them niggas 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 niggas every day And all the games we played Them days are all gone
