Shit
  I've been a thug my whole motherfucking life
  Struggling
  Doing what the fuck I've got to do to survive
  Bottom line
  Thugline
  
  You see me on T.V. but you don't really know me
  Don't know the story of the warrior
  And how I survived in this game
  Nigga never had shit
  Had to work to get it
  Or I had to steal it
  Most of the time I was hungry
  That's why I did it
  I ain't bullshittin, seventeen
  I'm leavin the house, I need my own
  Nigga done tried to be grown
  And fucked around
  Now I'm homeless on the streets
  With my niggas I learned
  About every drug
  The heroine, the weed, the speed, the crack, the sherm
  But we was broke and we couldn't afford it
  But niggas was schemin and plottin on shit
  Oh yes you know this
  I come from a long line of thugs
  Us strugglers hustle what we can rustle up
  It might not have been too much
  But we always got just enough, our hard times
  Kept niggas together through all the windy weather
  And nigga whenever you need somebody to roll
  I'm goin to be there, you know me
  A nigga stayed thug devoted in the streets
  When I didn't have a place to sleep or shit to eat
  My family goin through some pains
  They struggle but they make out
  My people off their hinges
  And it was against our religion as a witness
  So you know I really can't comprehend it
  My mother and father told me:
  don't mess with drugs and why you smokin?
  I was right or wrong?
  Can't understand it
  If the purpose was to have a nigga struggle
  I don't think they should have had me, had me
  Think they never should of had me
  As I drop to my knees can't you see I ain't happy?
  
  I hope it won't be long, I hope it won't be long
  Before I end this song, I wanna end this song
  I hope it won't be long, it won't be long
  I need to end this song, this sad song
  I hope it won't be long, I hope it won't be long
  Before I end this song, I need to end this song
  I hope it won't be long, it won't be long
  I need to end this song, sad song
