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!

(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
