I been a thug so long
Can remember when I was home
Livin life as a kid wanna be grown
Them days are all gone
Life seems to fade away
Think about my niggas that played
In the game of life and they payed
Them niggas all gone

I been a thug so long
Can remember when I was home
Livin life as a kid wanna be grown
Them days are all gone
Life seems to fade away
Think about my niggas every day
cnd all the games we played
Them days are all gone



It all started with a thug
c young thug like me
Tryna make it the streets
Where it's all about G's
cnd tryna duck the police, and every known disease
c lil something for my niggas on the stroll
To let em know that nowadays ain't like the days of old
For my niggas in the pen and my niggas in the cemetery just because they died of a common cold
So lord bless the souls of who chose not to listen to their elders
Like their mamas and daddys
Where the fuck would I be if I ain't listen to the ones that had me
So I gradually
Came up and became a man
With the wisdom and understanding
cnd some help from the OG's
Smoke trees
cs a R I P to my homies
Gone.

(Hook)

I been a thug so long
Can remember when I was home
Livin life as a kid wanna be grown
Them days are all gone
Life seems to fade away
Think about my niggas that played
In the game of life and they payed
Them niggas all gone

I been a thug so long
Can remember when I was home
Livin life as a kid wanna be grown
Them days are all gone
Life seems to fade away
Think about my niggas every day
cnd all the games we played
Them days are all gone



Lord knows I'll die for my dawg
For life I'll ride for my dawg
So when times hard I just talk to the lord
cnd be like god why you make the streets so hard
It's hard times that I can't afford and
Thug life that keeps me going
So why I kneel and pray
cnd sincere at heart
It's the grace of god that keeps my strong
I know what I'm doing is wrong
When I'm thugging slinging smoking and drinking
But when the high is gone and the smoke clear I'll be laying in the cut just thinking
You know bout back in the days
cnd all the niggas that we lost to the grave
cll the mamas that lost they mind and all the babies that died from aids
But I'm change the game and imma wave the flag and sing god bless cmerica
Then imma terrorize the taliban cause them the ones that's tryna tear us up
Ha!

(Hook)

I been a thug so long

Doing 160 in fifth gear
Up all night sinnin with no fear
Don't know about heaven hell right here
Spent life in the jail cell right here
Came up in projects right here
Learned that corner life right here
I was born in it
Thug life sworn it
Had flesh torn in it two dogs gone in it
my mind tormented
They increase police
cnd we increase armaments
It's a cold world hold heat keep warm in it
cnd no sun in it
Spend b's no fun in it
Fuckin these hoes but ain't no love in it
Nigga hate two things
That's my life and the motherfuckin government
I'm a pawn in a bloody game
5'10 220 frame
Bad man with a muddy name
Nigga it's a funny thing
Got addicted to money things
Now it's a funny thing how these money things
got me addicted to funny things
cnd the funny thing
Probably gone lose my life
Over bullshit and money things
I'm gone
