When thugs cry Now I lay me down to sleep I pray to Lord my guns to keep If I die before I wake I pray to Lord my soul to take Got us dyin' When thugs cry Times is hard Born thuggin' and lovin' the way I came up, big money clutchin' Bustin' while evadin' cocaine bust My po's rushin' to my cushin' into insanity They shot at my cousin, now we bustin' at they whole family The cowards wanna see me buried, I ain't worried I got a loan on the D.A. 'cause I'm fuckin' the secretary I black out, start cussin', bust 'em and touch 'em all They panicin', bitches duckin', I rush 'em and fuck 'em all Probably be an old man before I understand Why I had to live my life with pistols close in hand Kidnapped my homie 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 on the politicians even cops I ain't lyin', they got me sleeping' with my infrared beams And in my dreams I hear muthafucker screamin' What's the meanin'? When thugs cry Oh, why should you send your child off to die? In the streets of chalk, where they die Let no wrongs, cry out, when thugs cry Dear God (when thugs cry) Oh, why does it have to be this way? Ah Children of today won't stay wise (when thugs cry) Let the children hear when thugs cry Dear God Oh, why? Maybe my addiction to friction got me buggin' Where is the love, never quit my ambitions to thug Ain't shed a tear since the old school years of elementary Niggas I used to love enclosed in penitentiaries 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 alone with your pops and plus your moms is gone Where did we go wrong? I put my soul in this song To help us grow in time, but now our minds are gone We went from brothers and sisters to niggas and bitches We went from welfare livin' to worldwide riches But somethin' change in this dirty game Everything 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 Oh, why should you send your child off to die? In the streets of chalk, where they die (when thugs cry) (We don't shed a tear, she shed blood) Let no wrongs, cry out, when thugs cry (do you still wanna be a thug) Dear God Oh, why does it have to be this way? Ah Children of today won't stay wise Let the children hear, when thugs cry Dear God Oh, why? And all I see are these paranoid bitches, illegal inventions Bustin' muthafuckers with uppercuts, I leave 'em with dentures 'Cause in my criminal mind, nobody violates the Don I write your name on a piece of paper, and now your family's gone Well perpetrate like you could handle my team So merciless in mind, try to take command of your dreams Leavin' muthafuckers drownin' in they own blood Clown and takin' pictures later Laugh at the punk bitches that turned snitches Regulate my area, the terror I represent Make your people disappear, you wonderin' where they went Am I cold, or is it just I sold my soul? Addicted to the streets, never found 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 Oh, why should you send your child off to die? In the streets of chalk where they die (I shed tattoo tears for years) Let no wrongs, cry out, when thugs cry (to my dead homeboys and the prison peace) Dear God Oh, why does it have to be this way? Ah (Y'all ain't never heard my cries, nigga, what about if you would die) Children of today won't stay wise Let the children hear, when thugs cry Dear God Oh, why should you send your child off to die? In the streets of chalk where they die Let no wrongs, cry out, when thugs cry Dear God Oh, why does it have to be this way? Ah Children of today won't stay wise Let the children hear, when thugs cry Dear God Oh, why?

Shit, tired of getting shot at Tired of getting chased by the police and arrested Niggas need a spot where we can kick it A spot where we belong, that's just for us Niggas ain't gotta get all dressed up and be Hollywood You na'mean? Where do niggas go when we die? Ain't no heaven for a thug nigga, that's why we go to Thug Mansion That's the only place where thugs get in free and you gotta be a G At Thug Mansion A place to spend my quiet nights, time to unwind So much pressure in this life of mine, I cry at times I once contemplated suicide and would of tried But when I held that 9, all I could see was my momma's eyes No one knows my struggle, they only see the trouble Not knowing it's hard to carry on when no one loves you Picture me inside the misery of poverty No man alive has ever witnessed struggles I survived Praying hard for 'Better Dayz', promise to hold on Me and my dogs ain't have a choice but to roll on We finally found a spot to kick it Where we can drink liquor and no one bickers over trick shit A spot where we can smoke in peace, and even though we G's We still visualize places, that we can roll in peace And in my mind's eye I see this place, the players go in fast I got a spot for us all, so we can ball, at 'Thugz Mansion' Every corner, every city There's a place where life's a little easy Little Henessy, lay back and cool Every hour, 'cause it's all good Leave all the stress from the world outside Every wrong done will be alright Nothing but peace, love Street passion, every ghetto needs a Thugz Mansion Will I survive all the fights and the darkness? Trouble sparks, they tell me: "Home is where the heart is" Dear departed, I shed tattooed tears And couldn't sleep good for multiple years Witness peers catch gunshots, nobody cares Seen the politicians ban us, they'd rather see us locked in chains Please, explain why they can't stand us Is there a way for me to change? Or am I just a victim of things I did to maintain? I need a place to rest my head With the little bit of homeboys that remains 'Cause all the rest dead, is there a spot for us to grow? If you find it, I'll be right behind ya, show me and I'll go How can I be peaceful? I'm comin' from the bottom Watch my daddy scream "Peace!" while the other man shot him I need a house that's full of love when I need to escape The deadly places slingin' drugs, in thug's mansion Every corner, every city There's a place where life's a little easy Little Henessy, lay back and cool Every hour, 'cause it's all good Leave all the stress from the world outside Every wrong done will be alright Nothing but peace, love Street passion, every ghetto needs a Thugz Mansion Dear Mama, don't cry, your baby boy's doin' good Tell the homies I'm in Heaven and they ain't got hoods Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night, it had me shook Drinkin' peppermint Schnapps, with Jackie Wilson and Sam Cooke Then some lady named Billie Holiday sang Sittin' there kickin' it with Malcolm, 'til the day came Little Latasha sho' grown Tell the lady in the liquor store that she's forgiven, so come home Maybe in time you'll understand Only God can save us, when Miles Davis cuttin' lose with the band Just think of all the people that you knew in the past That passed on, they in Heaven, found peace at last Picture a place that they exist together There has to be a place better than this in heaven So right before I sleep, dear God, what I'm askin' Remember this face, save me a place in Thug's Mansion Every corner, every city There's a place where life's a little easy Little Henessy, lay back and cool Every hour, 'cause it's all good Leave all the stress from the world outside Every wrong done will be alright Nothing but peace, love Street passion, every ghetto needs a Thugz Mansion
