Life of a Thug (Explicit) (Amended Album Version)

Life Of A Thug (Amended Album Version) - Jaheim

I live the life of a thug sold many of drugs

Whatever you name it I've done

Laid a few cats down I'm on some new sh*t now

I tell you whatever you name it I've done

Live the life of a hustla keepin' it gangsta

Whatever you name it I've done

I've been all around the world met all kinds of girls

I tell you whatever you name it I've done

Comin' up I had it bad I never knew my dad

Only memories a picture in a frame

He passed away when I was two there was nothin' they could do

And all I know is that they said he was the ladies man

Momma kept pressin' on her boys kept her strong

We didn't need for much she did it all alone

She kept her head up high till the day she died

Told me to never give up do what I gotta to survive

I been uptown played many games hurt by many girls

Been all around lookin' for love but no one to trust

I been locked down with the big boys see I changed now

The high school diploma made my momma proud

I live the life of a thug sold many of drugs

Whatever you name it I've done

Laid a few cats down I'm on some new sh*t now

I tell you whatever you name it I've done

Live the life of a hustla keepin' it gangsta

Whatever you name it I've done

I've been all around the world met all kinds of girls

I tell you whatever you name it I've done

In and out of jail since 12 a juvenile so no bail

Most of my summer days spent 'em away

They gave me a B and E first degree robbery

Criminal mischief prosecution's on my heels now

I tried to straightin' up too I got hit by deja vu

A 9 to 5 couldn't find it my only option was to block it

I been shot at stabbed you don't know the half

I was a real a** cat takin' a look back the life of a thug

I been uptown played many games hurt by many girls

Been all around lookin' for love but no one to trust

I been locked down with the big boys see I changed now

The high school diploma made my momma proud

I live the life of a thug sold many of drugs

Whatever you name it I've done

Laid a few cats down I'm on some new sh*t now

I tell you whatever you name it I've done

Live the life of a hustla keepin' it gangsta

Whatever you name it I've done

I've been all around the world met all kinds of girls

I tell you whatever you name it I've done

I've been through so much didn't know who to trust

I could only count on me out in playin' in these streets

Had to change up my hustle had to live with the struggle

Takin' a dozen a blow

It's been a long time comin' but I came up

And I gotta thank the Lord 'cause He gave me enough

Anythin' more than that I wouldn't be where I'm at

Anythin' less I confess look at me now I'm at my best

I live the life of a thug sold many of drugs

Whatever you name it I've done

Laid a few cats down I'm on some new sh*t now

I tell you whatever you name it I've done

Live the life of a hustla keepin' it gangsta

Whatever you name it I've done

I've been all around the world met all kinds of girls

I tell you whatever you name it I've done
