|
Thugs die, why me? |
|
[Verse 1] |
|
[Numskull:] |
|
All eyes on me, so that means all eyes against me |
|
Simply cuz I may do in this world what God sent me |
|
If I said that I was gonna die, |
|
Would I be tellin' the truth would I be lyin' |
|
Would I be chillin' in heaven or hell fryin' |
|
Do thugs go to heaven even though we bettin' big |
|
Loot, makin green an lovin' hootchie prostitutes |
|
Jewels an big high rollin to the big part |
|
Of two main thugs who got plugged with slugs but had so much love |
|
Until tha paraphernalia, you can't floss or make mill |
|
One fellow dies in his click then it's all hell |
|
Big Poppa took hot ones 2Pacalypse took hot ones |
|
Now, between east and west there's problems |
|
It's true cuz who knows when you gonna die, who |
|
Knows when and where, who knows tha reason why |
|
Who goes and who stays who pause in these days |
|
Who paves the roads ways |
|
Who makes bread and who plays |
|
Not rollin' not doin' what you love (uh-uh) an when I die |
|
I wanna die in this business as a thug |
|
So I ask you, why? |
|
[Chorus:] |
|
Why do thugs die, makes you wanna cry |
|
Why do thugs die, cuz it's insane |
|
Why do thugs die, makes you wanna cry |
|
Why do thugs die, cuz it's insane |
|
[Verse 2] |
|
[Yukmouth:] |
|
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh, uh, |
|
Sometimes I wanna pray, sometimes I wanna say somethin' |
|
To God cuz only God can solve the problems of today |
|
Get on my knees and pray, I cry and say |
|
If I die today please take my soul away |
|
Make a brighter day for Lil ???, that be my son |
|
So many people with money fall victim of the gun |
|
For tryin' ta rock your rhymes like ??? caught two in the lungs |
|
Wanted to get me, dear lord forgive me, I didn't |
|
Wanna die this quickly |
|
God the most expert hitman on earth to get me |
|
Had plans to have tha inner city killin' each other |
|
First Pac now Biggie, what really goes on |
|
Lets hold on, like En Vogue, cuz when them devils want you gone |
|
You gone, tombstones and funeral |
|
Homes keep yo game strong |
|
My little homie got his brains blown (POW!) |
|
Ready to get yo whobang on, C an Rappin' Ron I miss ya |
|
Dudes, how many brothers must we lose |
|
Before we hit tha ballers fued |
|
It's only hurtin' me and you |
|
Cuz they tryin' to shut down our music that we use |
|
Dont be confused, these ??? folks to us |
|
Control the industry, got us programmed like New York is the enemy |
|
Man look what they did to Kennedy |
|
Why, why, why me, why me, why do thugs die playa |
|
[Chours] |
|
[Verse 3] |
|
[Numskull:] |
|
1, 2, 3 years of struggle, huddles and plans |
|
Can't amount to millions bubble |
|
That's why we keep stacks tucked and cuddled |
|
I praise any human makin' loot by the truck loads |
|
My motto stay clean like pimps in El Dorado |
|
Or any real playa makin' ripples in the pond, |
|
Got hustles for days, kinda makes me think of mine |
|
And by the time I'm 30 I wanna own them things |
|
In your ear (what) bubble for 20 |
|
Years if the world is still here |
|
[Yukmouth:] |
|
Uh-huh, huh, playboy, it seems like everybody with bread |
|
Get indicted by the feds |
|
And family members end up dead, REDRUM |
|
I used to read psalms and go to church to be an usher |
|
Then of course the terms they got worser |
|
Everyday is a different murder, so many |
|
Funerals and waits, pour out liquor smoke blunts |
|
In the face when thugs die, you can't stop cryin |
|
Cuz I lost my momma then my father in '95, I ask the lord why |
|
Why thugs die, why do thugs die |
|
It's like that there playboys |
|
Watch your back cuz it's goin' down man |
|
This goin' out to all the fallen soldiers |
|
Who died in the line of duty, you know what I'm sayin |
|
My playboy Tupac, rest in peace |
|
My playboy, Biggie Smalls, one love rest in peace |
|
To all the other soldiers, everybody who lost somebody |
|
You know (world wide) |
|
Reminisce, lets do this, pour out some liquor |
|
Smoke some blunts with your folks |
|
They lookin' down on us proud |
|
There is a heaven for a G playboy, that's real |
|
Believe me, done deal, done deal, done deal, done deal, uh |
|
[Chorus] |
|
[Till end] |
