|
Live by the sword, die by the sword |
|
Believe in the Lord, and the laws of the Lord |
|
And when you ride for the cause, keep an eye on the cause |
|
You ever lose sight, and you blind as a mole |
|
We must decide if they rise, decide if they fall |
|
Alive with the light, you can shine on 'em all |
|
We all designed to be strong, sometimes we'll be right |
|
And sometimes we'll be wrong, we must weather the storm |
|
It's the design of it all, we'll never know it all |
|
Just love one another and honor father and mother |
|
When you kind you'll see it grow, with hate you'll never know |
|
It's crawled up outta the gutter, the thoughts the spirit help us |
|
When you find you're in a hole, you search you're inner soul |
|
You search to get the truth, and you find you're way to go |
|
It's the design of it all, you'll find what it means |
|
A struggle to succeed when life is like a dream |
|
That's why the thugs never cry (thugs never cry) |
|
From the thunder and rain, just look into my eyes |
|
That's why the thugs never cry (thugs never cry) |
|
The world is a ghetto, we gots to stay alive |
|
That's why the thugs never cry (thugs never cry) |
|
We're hoping for change and puffin' on some ? |
|
That's why the thugs never cry (thugs never cry) |
|
Bizzy is back, only the strong survive |
|
So wipe the tears with a sleave, and just 'cause you believe |
|
One day you gon have what you want, what you gonna be |
|
When the winds don't blow, and God don't make mo' |
|
Keep an eye on the stone, and oh, just remember |
|
The world gets dark, and you carry your heart |
|
Just open up your opens eyes, and insipre the whole art |
|
From the birds to the bees, the snakes and the trees |
|
The lakes and the sea, the brakes in the sea |
|
And when the tide ship down, and nobodies around |
|
Ain't nothing to be found, and uh... I don't make a sound |
|
No nobody and no preasance and yes you're ? the essance |
|
Of creation in the making and the patiance of the Satans |
|
Ever blessings queen, message to a king, and a gift to a prince |
|
Like a gift to a ring, for the love of a slave |
|
Yes Adam and Eve, a slave that loved God before she bit the tree |
|
That's why the thugs never cry (thugs never cry) |
|
From the thunder and rain, just look into my eyes |
|
That's why the thugs never cry (thugs never cry) |
|
The world is a ghetto, we gots to stay alive |
|
That's why the thugs never cry (thugs never cry) |
|
We're hoping for change and puffin' on some ? |
|
That's why the thugs never cry (thugs never cry) |
|
Bizzy is back, only the strong survive |
|
If you do then you ?, you don't then you ? |
|
You ever been in that situation without a plan? |
|
And if you tried and you can't |
|
Just get up out the streets, and hustle to get your money |
|
And make sure that you be that |
|
I go to church and see sin, get punched in the chin |
|
And a brother saves his brother, you'll never do it again |
|
And the child drinking Hen, and you're mad at his dad |
|
I'm in the army just to keep this whole world in harmony |
|
It ain't nothing like Shaq, whose dad walked out |
|
Who never knew he'd grow and ride and make it out |
|
It's like God and the sun, a flower and a bun |
|
A tower and a plane, that never destroyed none |
|
It's the design of it all, the time of it all |
|
The crime of it all, and the life of it all |
|
Pick up your eyes to the sky, and never ask why |
|
You really know the answers and I |
|
That's why the thugs never cry (thugs never cry) |
|
From the thunder and rain, just look into my eyes |
|
That's why the thugs never cry (thugs never cry) |
|
The world is a ghetto, we gots to stay alive |
|
That's why the thugs never cry (thugs never cry) |
