Thugs by Evan Upton Lyrics
I am currently battling a stuffy nose, but gotta get work done. You feel me?
Ok ok
Yuh hey
Thugs run the street
(like track)
Thugs all around me
(surrounded)
Thugs only thing I see
(eye spy)
So a thug I'm finna be
Thugs seen as king
(royalty)
Thugs always got the green
(dat guap)
Thugs always rollin' deep
(issa pac)
So a thug I'm finna be
Thugs run the street
(like track)
Thugs all around me
(surrounded)
Thugs only thing I see
(eye spy)
So a thug I'm finna be
Thugs seen as king
(royalty)
Thugs always got the green
(dat guap)
Thugs always rollin' deep
(issa pac)
So a thug I'm finna be
No school but a backpack
It won't help me
Everything I need is in trap
So I keep my backpack packed
To get fat stacks
Also keep a kickback
Just in case things snap
Like a kit-kat
So I suggest that you get back
I give you unexpected heat
Like a leaked track
It's cuz of all the deep depression that I keep back
Cuz don't nobody understand the pain of growin up black
When your teachers don't believe in you
When the whole world only see the fiend in you
When it seem life always defeatin you
When ya momma ain't got enough food to feed you
You start thinking all the things they say is true
Then little by little it'll change your view
Then little by little it'll change your mood
And them two things soon turn to what you do
But I know I can do better
And destroy that stereo
Go prove everybody wrong
And all the ones that told me no
If I wanna make a change
That means I'ma have to grow
So I'm headed to the church
And I sit in the back row
But when that preacher talkin'
There's an itchin' in my soul
I don't know what it's about
And I'm not sure I wanna know
So I shove these feelings down
To the bottom of my soul
And I return to the trap
Cuz that's the only thing I know
Thugs run the street
(like track)
Thugs all around me
(surrounded)
Thugs only thing I see
(eye spy)
So a thug I'm finna be
Thugs seen as king
(royalty)
Thugs always got the green
(dat guap)
Thugs always rollin' deep
(issa pac)
So a thug I'm finna be
Thugs run the street
(like track)
Thugs all around me
(surrounded)
Thugs only thing I see
(eye spy)
So a thug I'm finna be
Thugs seen as king
(royalty)
Thugs always got the green
(dat guap)
Thugs always rollin' deep
(issa pac)
So a thug I'm finna be
Hold up
Let me plead my case
I'ma start off by sayin this a big mistake
Never thought I would see myself in this place
Not surprised cus every day I run this race
Whole event is one misconception case
I was just passin by
Wrong time
Wrong place
But don't nobody wanna hear the words that I say
When it comes to tellin time
Judge only see the face
It's evident I see they hate the black race
And any other type of race
But you can't run away from it
Cuz it runs Ameri-K-K-K
But I'ma tell my story anyway
And hope with some people it will resonate
Hopefully be a light on the subject
And they go and take my felony away
On my way home when I heard all the screams
Lookin around wonder who could it be
Realize it is the house beside of me
A shot then goes off and I run to the scene
I'm sneekin in creepin through the back door
House look familiar I been here before
Suddenly my granny down on the floor
And the robber that shot her walk right through the door
I knock him down put a shot in his head
To protect me and grann
But grann's already dead
When they get there
The cops don't understand
They charge me for murdering both of them man
Can't get no job when they see my degree
Even McDonald's said no and clowned me
So I do it my way and be my own king
I stay on the stove
I'm the burner king
Thugs run the street
(like track)
Thugs all around me
(surrounded)
Thugs only thing I see
(eye spy)
So a thug I'm finna be
Thugs seen as king
(royalty)
Thugs always got the green
(dat guap)
Thugs always rollin' deep
(issa pac)
So a thug I'm finna be
Thugs run the street
(like track)
Thugs all around me
(surrounded)
Thugs only thing I see
(eye spy)
So a thug I'm finna be
Thugs seen as king
(royalty)
Thugs always got the green
(dat guap)
Thugs always rollin' deep
(issa pac)
So a thug I'm finna be
Ok ok
Yuh hey
Thugs run the street
