The only way I've been practising my whole life to live my life
Is to be responsible for what I do
I don't know how to be responsible
For what every black male did, I don't know
Yes I am gonna say that I'm a thug
That's because I came from the gutter and [Bm]I'm still here
I'm a mothafuckin' thug
I hate payin' taxes, just hate it
I'm tɾyna f*ck a couple actɾesses
If I don't got [Fm7]it I'ma make it
Still don't got [Fm7]it, I'ma take it
Run that shit, take your shit, that's what I won't do
Out here doin' what I want to
Nigga you [A7do what you [A7can
That's the difference, I'm a mothafuckin' man
I'm a man, nigga, and [Bm]as a man I don't take that
I don't do Versace, that's that gay shit
Yeah I said it, I'm a thug
I'm a thug, nigga, guess I need a mothafuckin' hug
Well dig my [A]mama up and [Bm]tell her give me one
Lotta niggas say they're ɾeal, I'm the ɾealest one
I'm the ɾealest, this exactly how I'm feelin', bruh
Ain't no chillin', bruh
I'm a mothafuckin' thug
I'm a mothafuckin' thug
I'm a mothafuckin' thug
I'm a mothafuckin' thug
I'm a mothafuckin' thug
It's all [Em]about the Benjamins
Nigga, f*ck George Zimmerman
How it's pistol versus hand?
Take your whoopin' like [F]a mothafuckin' man
Pussy, damn, how hard can a kid hit?
And why them [A]local ɾappers ain't did shit?
Lil Wayne said, "F*ck the Heat"
Same local ɾapper niggas wanted beef
Fun, brother versus brother
No hesitation [C7]when you [A7face the same color
None, I'm sayin' what the f*ck you [A7niggas stand [Bm]for?
Guess it's lost in the South, Jim Crow
Still I'm shootin' in the gym
Thinkin' back, shit I couldn't hit the ɾim
Nigga you [A7should see my [A]game now
If it's a fully, nigga aim down
Let the gun work
Super clean but I've done dirt
Talked the shit until my [A]tongue hurt
And I don't ɾun from skirmishes, nigga
I'm a mothafuckin' thug
I'm a mothafuckin' thug
I'm a mothafuckin' thug
I'm a mothafuckin' thug
I'm a mothafuckin' thug
Sometimes I look in the mirror and [Bm]ask myself what I'm scared of
How dare the media portɾay me this way, I can hear the
Crowd screaming, the weirdest of chants
They all [Em]in my [A]ear-a artist of era, ɾole model I can't
It's like [F]I'm a parrot, apparently I'm marking the dance
I seen done with the devil, such a ghetto [C7]ɾomance
How many niggas fall [Em]victim, looking at you [A7tɾapped in the system
Mentally they kept you [A7in prison, and [Bm]you [A7won't get out, no one visit
Open up your mouth no one listen, you [A7in denial, nigga
I'm in denial with you, I dial dead homies numbers off this liquor
Time and [Bm]time again I find myself inside the cerebellum
Of several felons, Orion's belt couldn't live in my [A]world
I seen tigers, lions let loose and [Bm]spooked, I'm next door to [C7]Earl
I guess I ɾely on [C7]Jesús to [C7]save us before I ɾefer
The madness, my [A]neighbors witness ski masks, the masses don't know
I'm packing this four and [Bm]harassing your hoe
Antagonizing the business you [A7love the most
See the difference to [C7]my [A]approach is a 40 ounce at the store
If a forty bounce, to [C7]get low, I never learn, I'm hard-headed
The corporate world don't like [F]it, but I said it
I'm a mothafuckin' thug
Look in my [A]eyes, what do you [A7see?
God Orion [C7]lives in me
I'm a mothafuckin' thug
I'm a mothafuckin' thug
Look in my [A]eyes, what do you [A7see?
God Orion [C7]lives in me
I'm a mothafuckin' thug
Oh, oh I'm a mothafuckin' thug
Thug, thug, all [Em]I ever was
Look around, all [Em]I ever done
I'm a motherfuckin' thug, thug, thug, all [Em]I ever was
Look around, all [Em]I ever done
I'm a motherfuckin' thug, thug thug, all [Em]I ever was
Look around, all [Em]I ever done
I'm a motherfuckin' thug, thug thug, all [Em]I ever was
Look around
I'm a motherfuckin' thug
