When Thugz Cry (Album Version|Edited) - 2Pac

Lyrics by：Tupac Shakur/Johnny Jackson

Composed by：Tupac Shakur/Johnny Jackson

Thugs cry

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the Lord my guns to keep

If I die before I wake

I pray the Lord my soul to take

Got us dyin'

When thugs cry times is hard

Born thuggin' and lovin' the way I came up

Big money clutchin' bustin' while evadin' c*****e busts

My pulse rushin' semi clutchin' into insanity

They shot at my cousin now we bustin' at they whole family

The coppers wanna see me buried I ain't worried

I got a line on the DA 'cause I'm f**kin' his secretary

I black out and start cussin' bust 'em and touch 'em all

They panic and b***hes duckin' I rush 'em and f**k 'em all

I'll probably be an old man before I understand

Why I have to live my life with pistols close at hand

Kidnapped my homie's sister cut her face up bad

They even raped her so we blazed they pad

Automatic shots rang out on every block

They puttin' hits out on politicians even cops

I ain't lyin' they got me sleepin' with my infrared beams

And in my dreams I hear motherf**kers screamin'

What is the meanin' when thugs cry

Oh why should you send your child off to die

In the streets of chalk where they lie

Let no wrongs cry out when thugs cry dear

God when thugs cry

Oh my does it have to be this way

Our children of today won't stay wise

Let the children hear when thugs cry dear God oh why

Maybe my addiction to friction got me buggin'

Where is the love never quit my ambition to thug

Ain't shed a tear since the old school years of elementary

N***as I used to love enclosed in Penitentiaries

But still homie keep it real how does it feel

To lose your life over something that you did as a kid

You all alone no communication block on the phone

Don't get along with your pop and plus your moms is gone

Where did we go wrong I put my soul in the song

To help us grow in time but now our minds are gone

We went from brothers and sisters to n***as and b***hes

We went from welfare livin' to worldwide riches

But somethin' changed in this dirty game everything's strange

Lost all my homies over c*****e man

See they ask me if I shed a tear I ain't lie

See you gotta get high or die 'cause even thugs cry

Oh why should you send your child off to die

In the streets of chalk where they lie

Let no wrongs cry out when thugs cry dear God

Oh my does it have to be this way

Our children of today won't stay wise

Let the children hear when thugs cry dear God oh why

And all I see is these paranoid b***hes illegal adventures

Bustin' motherf**kers with uppercuts I leave 'em with dentures

'Cause in my criminal mind nobody violates the Don

I write your name wit' a piece of paper

Now your family's gone

Why perpetrate like you can handle my team

So merciless in my attack I take command of your dreams

Leavin' motherf**kers drownin' in they own blood

Clownin' takin' pictures later

Laugh 'bout them punk b***hes that turned snitches

Regulate my area the terror I represent

Makin' your people disappear you wonderin' where they went

Am I cold or is it just I sold my soul

Addicted to these streets never find true peace I'm told

Come take my body God don't let me suffer any longer

Smoke a pound of marijuana so I know it ain't long

Where is the end to all my misery is there a close

I suppose that's why I murder my foes when thugs cry

Oh why should you send your child off to die

In the streets of chalk where they lie

Let no wrongs cry out when thugs cry dear God

Oh my does it have to be this way

Our children of today won't stay wise

Let the children hear when thugs cry dear God oh why

Oh why should you send your child off to die

In the streets of chalk where they lie

Let no wrongs cry out when thugs cry dear God

Oh my does it have to be this way

Our children of today won't stay wise

Let the children hear when thugs cry dear God oh why
