Thug Is A Drug (Album Version|Explicit)

Quick question

You ever felt like

The realest ni**a alive

Felt too pretty or

Powerful to die

Tell the truth

You ever felt ugly

Enough to cry

Have you ever

Begged for mercy

Have you ever

Wished you died

Tell the truth

Have you ever taken

Pride in the crime

Been too hungry to

Break down or hide

Felt low down dirty

Or super duper high

Or contemplated murder

Robbery or suicide

Tell the truth

Taken medicine for

Trouble in your mind

Or taken down a number

For taking up a scheme

I made her wild

Beautiful take her

'Til she skeet

Take her to the penthouse

Or take her to the skreet

Tell the Truth

So the waterman

He take it to the beat

And I take it to the 'mic

So we takin' what we like

Take it to your neck

We gon' take it to the bank

Triple X Killa K

Black we take it to your face

Like G BANK BANK

Gangsta birth sign is danger

It's like thug is the **

That make 'em fall in love

When love don't love nobody

BANK BANK

Gangsta star sign is danger

It's like thug is the **

Ready rock steady pump

Man they leanin' and they fiendin'

Cuz they can't get enough

The Dee-Jay play this

Song in the dance

And every buggy on the

Block got the tune on blast

The TV is like the radio

With visuals too

So shiny so gutter

Mean moody and cool

Tell the truth

They might be doing

Things that you wanna' do

You fantasize as they

Be living it through

The big home with

The beautiful view

You have a swim in the pool

And get fresh

And take a spin in the coupe

Tell the truth

You probably want to feel

The world in your palm

While hold a gun in your hand

And make 'em know you a star

Tell the truth

And there's those

Who probably already are

They well known in they zone

Or they town or they block

Tell the truth

Then there's the rest

Who are usually not

And the heavy dose of thug

Feel like all that they got

So they ready to rock R-r-rock

Ha ha heh

Gangsta birth sign is danger

It's like thug is the **

That make 'em fall in love

When love don't love nobody

Gangsta star sign is danger

It's like thug is the **

Ready rock steady pump

Man they leanin' and they fiendin'

Cuz they can't get enough
