Thug in Me
Very rarely shown,
For just right now
I'll make the thug in me known.
A thoughtless idea,
Popped into my head,
Entered a world where
I wished I was dead.
Gangbanging thug,
From around the way,
Listen to these few words
That I have to say.
I grew up on the streets,
Though they were good,
When the bad in me comes out
I turn to my hood.
For the knowledge of my hood,
Was something I could never learn from school,
Lived in a world where
Thugging was the only rule.
I never knew love,
Yeah, I'll admit that much,
I've taken from people as a silent cry,
For me to feel the warmth of a human touch.
I wanna get out,
I'll admit to that,
But I don't want to escape,
The life of luxuary and living phat.
