|
| [00:10.96] |
Ay do this Thug style main, Thug style |
| [00:12.81] |
When this whole beat drop we just gon' run it to em bet |
| [00:15.96] |
It's all good, uhh |
| [00:16.76] |
I never had much, ran with a bad bunch |
| [00:19.47] |
Little skinny kid sneakin weed in my bag lunch |
| [00:22.12] |
And all through Junior High, we was just gettin by |
| [00:25.17] |
And drivebys robbed my homies of their young lives |
| [00:27.58] |
I never did cry, and even though I had |
| [00:30.33] |
pain in my heart, I was hopeless from the start |
| [00:32.73] |
They couldn't tell me nothin, they all tried to help to help me |
| [00:36.34] |
The marijuana had my mind gone it wasn't healthy |
| [00:38.39] |
I travelled places, caught cases, what a ill year |
| [00:41.14] |
I felt the pain and the rain but I'm still here |
| [00:43.89] |
Never did like the police, let the whole world know |
| [00:46.44] |
Now I gets no peace, cause they chasin me down |
| [00:49.00] |
And facin me now, what do I do? |
| [00:51.40] |
These thangs that a Thug goes through |
| [00:53.20] |
And still I rise so keep ya head up, and make ya mind strong |
| [00:56.76] |
It's a struggle every day but you gotta hold on |
| [00:59.56][00:00.00]repeat 4X] |
|
| [01:00.41] |
Hold on, be strong, hold on |
| [01:01.81] |
Be strong, hold on |
| [01:02.96] |
When it's on it's on |
| [01:19.91] |
There's, never a good day, cause in my hood they |
| [01:22.71] |
let they AK's pump strays where the kids play |
| [01:25.17] |
And every Halloween, check out the murder scene |
| [01:28.52] |
Can't help but duplicate the violence seen on the screen |
| [01:31.23] |
My homies dyin 'fore they get to see they birthdays |
| [01:33.93] |
These is the worst days, sometimes it hurts to pray |
| [01:36.68] |
And even God turned his back on the ghetto youth |
| [01:39.23] |
I know that ain't the truth, sometimes I look for proof |
| [01:41.84] |
I wonder if heaven got a ghetto, and if it does |
| [01:44.54] |
Does it matter if you blood or you cuz |
| [01:46.64] |
Remember how it was, the picnics and the parties in the projects |
| [01:49.55] |
Small time drinkin gettin high with them armies |
| [01:51.80] |
Just another knucklehead kid from the gutter |
| [01:54.70] |
I'm dealin with the madness, raised by a single mother |
| [01:57.51] |

You gotta keep your head to the sky and be strong, most of all hold on |
