《How To Thug》歌词

[00:00:00] How To Thug - Crooked I

[00:00:18] The cops hate my skin

[00:00:19] So they wanna do me in

[00:00:21] Shove me in the pen

[00:00:22] Have me serving 5 to 10

[00:00:24] I grew up in the city where the eat you gotta sin

[00:00:27] Now just wanna be like my suburban friends

[00:00:29] But instead I got a thug yeah

[00:00:33] I got a thug I got a thug

[00:00:38] The streets taught me how to thug

[00:00:41] Wait a minute my mother's flat broke

[00:00:44] And my father ain't around

[00:00:45] My whole family starving man I gotta hold us down

[00:00:48] I loaded up my chopper hit that other side of town

[00:00:52] Robbed that dealer for a couple of pounds

[00:00:54] My ni**a learning how to thug learning how to thug

[00:01:00] I had to learn how to thug how to thug

[00:01:06] I ain't finished society hates me but that hate is really fear

[00:01:10] I'm praying every day that that hate would disappear

[00:01:13] They treat me like I ain't sh*t and the message is very clear

[00:01:17] While the devil is whispering in my ear y'all

[00:01:20] When it comes to thuggin' I got a master degree

[00:01:23] Sitting here in this county jail imagining me

[00:01:26] The future me not the one that's always trapped in the streets

[00:01:29] Not the one that see his own family wrapped in them sheets

[00:01:32] I'm like the president of thuggin' as I practice my speech

[00:01:35] Simultaneously I'm thinking I'm the cat to impeach

[00:01:38] Even when I'm sleep I don't see no actual peace

[00:01:41] I'm dreaming I'm bleedin' after squeezing after police

[00:01:44] Nobody gives a f**k about a ni**a broke and in pain

[00:01:48] You see him in front of the liquor store

[00:01:49] Won't even throw him some change

[00:01:51] When he die John Doe is his name

[00:01:53] Is that my destiny I'm going insane

[00:01:55] Load up my chrome in the rain

[00:01:57] Erase a painful future that's what I can do with my Glock 9

[00:02:01] Should I pop it or just call the suicide hot line

[00:02:04] Tears rolling down my face is do or die stop crying

[00:02:07] Green light I'm dead or is music my stop sign

[00:02:10] I'm in a crack hotel I'm living grimy

[00:02:13] Sick of hitting licks plus I really don't trust my crimies

[00:02:16] Mind state is slimy I kill you

[00:02:18] And then yell why me don't try me

[00:02:21] Gotta put this life behind me

[00:02:22] See I was brain washed taught

[00:02:24] That I wouldn't be sh*t believed it

[00:02:26] Now these trouble waters got me sea sick

[00:02:29] The upper class show love like intense nepotism

[00:02:32] The lower class we thug as a defense mechanism

[00:02:35] To protect threats against them

[00:02:37] The penitentiary system fenced

[00:02:38] Them in and they never miss them

[00:02:40] Just look for better victims

[00:02:41] And politicians never listen

[00:02:43] To who whoever's *****ing

[00:02:45] They eatin' in a better kitchen

[00:02:46] They on television promising better conditions

[00:02:50] It's a repetition of lies open your eyes

[00:02:52] Even let your retinas listen

[00:02:54] Listen we shooting at the wrong targets

[00:02:57] Talking out the side of our neck believing our own jargon

[00:03:00] I thought that I was cursed by the gods

[00:03:02] Dropped in the ghetto piss pour against impossible odds

[00:03:06] Track with these charlatans and philosophical frauds

[00:03:09] In a place where being armed robber is a logical job

[00:03:13] Change always starts with the man in the mirror

[00:03:15] So I'm talking to myself like hey Crooked I I can hear ya

[00:03:19] Give me your 38 snub a mask and some gloves

[00:03:21] I can teach the whole world how to thug

[00:03:24] But how bout how to love

[00:03:26] Yeah we need love

[00:03:30] We need love in the hood

[00:03:33] One time for some love in the hood

[00:03:36] Two times for some loves in the hood

[00:03:40] Three times come back
