Lyrics : When Thugz Cry (OG Version)

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
God is God
When thugs cry, times is hard

Born thuggin', and lovin' the way I came up
Big money clutchin', (bustin')
While evadin' (cocaine busts)
My pulse rushin', semi clutchin' into insanity
(They shot at my cousin, now we bustin' at they whole family)
You coppers wanna see me buried, (I ain't worried)
I got a line on the D.A. ‘cause I'm (f**kin' his secretary)
I black out and start cussin', (Damn) bust 'em and touch 'em all
They panic, and b*t*hes duckin', I rush 'em and f**k 'em all
(I'll probably be an old man before I understand
Why I have to livе my life with pistols close at hand)
Kidnapped my homiе'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?)
Battle-scars and closed caskets are multipied
(I can see it from their eyes)
Muthaf**kas die, don't ask why (when thugs cry)
When thugs cry, we don't shed tears, we shed blood
Do you still wanna be a thug? When thugs cry (when thugs cry)
Battle-scars and closed caskets are multipied
(I can see it from their eyes)
Muthaf**kas die, don't ask why (when thugs cry)
When thugs cry, we don't shed tears, we shed blood
Do you still wanna be a thug? When thugs cry

(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*t*hes
We went from (welfare livin') to worldwide riches
(But somethin' changed) in this dirty game
(Everything's strange)
Lost all my homies over (cocaine), 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)
Battle-scars and closed caskets are multipied
(Shed a tear from their eye)
Muthaf**kas die, don't ask why (when thugs cry)
When thugs cry, we don't shed tears, we shed blood
Do you still wanna be a thug? When thugs cry
Battle-scars and closed caskets are multipied
(When they shed a tear from their eyes)
Muthaf**kas die, don't ask why
When thugs cry, we don't shed tears, we shed blood
Do you still wanna be a thug? When thugs cry

(And all I see is) these paranoid b*t*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) (Mine) 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
(Hahaha) (Clownin', takin' pictures later)
Laugh 'bout them punk b*t*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)
(When thugs cry, shed tears from their eyes)
I shed tattooed tears for years (when thugs cry)
For my dead homeboys and my prison peers (why they cry)
Y'all ain't never heard my cries (shed tears from there eyes)
Now you wonder why I want you to die?
Sh*t I ain't lie, I told you this n***as last year (when thugs cry)
Give me mine or imma ride
When thugs cry, Outlaw riders until we die, ahhh ahhh ahhh
