Thug Life (Original Version 2) lyrics
by 2Pac
[Intro: 2Pac]
The question: "Is it real?"
The answer (Hehehah) to the young muthaf*ckin' Thugs (n*gga)
K-Doggs (That's right) Young Hollywood (Come on),Big motherf*ckin' Malcolm do that (Thug)
Representing on a mothaf*ckin' higher level
Get yours holler at ya these moterf*ckers just don't understand me
They all family (Heeheeheeeheey)
Why don't you n*ggas hit these bustas up?
[Verse 1: Young Hollywood "Kadafi"]
What's up for '95? Yeah, '95 sound live!
I'm through with crimes, no more runnin' from one-time
Although I know what I'll get for my title
When I was young, that nickel-plated Four-Fifth was my idol
Chrome and stones, bones, and portable phones
Gettin' bungalow while I'm sittin' at home is what I scheme of
So now what I dream of is a life full of trouble
In fact countin' double digit stacks
Lay back for a minute, 500 SEL, yeah, I could see myself in it!
Murder over money, you ever heard of a dummy
With Glocks between his tummy, low down dirty and crummy?
Talkin' bout that Thug Life be the only life I know
Talkin 'bout that drug life without this rap sh*t
Probably be the only route I go
And matter of fact I know I'll strive through this fo' sho'
Live that Thug Life
[Chorus: Female singing & 2Pac]
Thug Life, it's the only life for me (A n*gga live the)
Thug Life, forever hustling in the streets (I forever live the)
Thug Life, when no one else was there for me (I gotta live the)
Thug Life, the G's became my family(Down n*gga pray now)
[Verse 2: EDI "Big Malcolm"]
Thug Life, ever since we was from day one
Licking shots, gettin' back at the frustration
Livin' right was never my thought, I guess it's my fault
I told to support that n*gga with his f*ckin' court
I'm boldy drinkin' slowly smash his finger to the police
Don't nothin' (Hehahah) matter when makin' snaps with the homies
Now y'all know it ain't right but when young n*ggas sure don't like
Tryin' to survive through the stripe
With a buck and a butter knife you f*ckin' right
I go loony for loot G without a bootsy (Yeah n*gga)
I was raised in this crazed so forever
Thuggin' is how I stay clutchin' pay and duckin' strays
I'm just a young Thug (Hehehah) glad to see twenty
And plenty more (Yeah)
But the homies say that's a trip that I ain't ready for (That's right)
So it's only right for me to earn my f*ckin' stripes everyday I fight
Livin' that
[Chorus: Female singing & 2Pac]
Thug Life
It's the only life for me (A n*gga gotta live the)
Thug Life
Forever hustling in the streets (I forever live the)
Thug Life
When no one else was there for me (Now I gots to live the)
Thug Life
The G's became my family
(K)
[Verse 3: K-Dog "Kastro"]
Now aahahahaah well some wonder
(Yeah) where the real n*ggas win a few cents
Make me represent harder no doe I can't bother 'cause
Don't nuttin' move but the papers when n*ggas catch vapors
More and more n*ggas doin' capers (Uuhhuhuuh)
For them stacks of ends me and my mens it all means
The black Benz on rims and diamond rings (Hehahahahah)
Make me think thoughts of all sorts and no lesser (Yeah n*gga yeah)
Puffin' on 'ports for the pressure while the
Sounds force Thugs born to the full
Get on and trick pull punks are livin' wonderful
I array and Bubonic make a play day
Blast away and I pray that a n*gga lay (Hehahah)
In peace please tell my leaves in the breeze
With the real (Whohuhuhuuh) sticks
And snaps no haps I guess I gotta peel
For realla my n*ggas never show me nothin' right
Now I'm hype on this muthaf*ckin' Thug Life
[Chorus: Female singing & 2Pac]
Thug Life, it's the only life for me (I gotta live the)
Thug Life, forever hustling in the streets (A mothaf*cka live the)
Thug Life, when no one else was there for me (Only thing was the)
Thug Life, the G's became my family
Thug Life, it's the only life for me (That's why a n*gga live the)
Thug Life, forever hustling in the streets (Only thing for me)
Thug Life, when no one else was there for me (I live the)
Thug Life, the G's became my family
