Track: Shorty Wanna Be A Thug

Lyrics
Say he wanna be
Shorty's gonna be a thug
Said he gonna be
One day he's gonna be
Said he's wanna be
Shorty's gonna be a thug
Said he's gonna be
One day he gonna be
Say he wanna be
Shorty's gonna be a thug
Said he wanna be
One day he's gonna be
Said he wanna be
Shorty's gonna be a thug

Was a nice middle class nigga
But nobody knew the evil he'd do when he got a little bigger
Get off the final blaze
While puffin' on a Newport
Plottin' on a another way to catch a case
Was only sixteen, yet convicted as a felon
With a bunch of old niggas
But you the only one who ain't tellin'
I tell you it's a cold world, stay in school
You tell me its a man's world, play the rules
And fade fools, break rules until we major
Blaze up, gettin' with hoes through my pager
Was raised up, commence the money makin' tactics
It's gettin' drastic, niggas got automatics
My fingers on the trigga, tell the Lord
"Make way for another straight thug nigga"
I'm sittin' gettin' buzzed, lookin' for some love
From the homies, 'cause shorty wanna be a thug

Said he's gonna be
Say he wanna be
But said he's gonna be
Shorty's gonna be a thug
Said he's gonna be
But says he wanna be
But said he's gonna be
Shorty's gonna be a thug
Said he's gonna be
One day he's gonna be
Say he wanna be
Shorty's gonna be a thug
Said he wanna be
One day he's gonna be
Said he wanna be
Shorty's gonna be a thug

Straight from the Hall to the Pen'
Adolescent nigga scalin' weight and standin' six feet ten
He carried weight like a Mack truck
Gonna bust on some playa haters
If the motherfuckas act tough
Then that's what? A lethal weapon with the razor
This little nigga smokin' weed and gettin' blazed up
No one could figure, when the guns blast, pull the trigga
Could take the life of a young nigga, guns bigger
No mother and father, you see, the niggas all alone
Old timers my role model, the war zone
Relates with this game 'til its a part of me
My heart don't beat no fear and it ain't hard to see
The future's lookin' dim
I'm tryin' to make a profit out of livin' in this sin
I'm in the dark gettin' buzzed, lookin' for some love
Out with the homies, 'cause shorty wanna be a thug

Say he's gonna be
Said he's gonna be
One day he's gonna be
Shorty's gonna be a thug
Said he's gonna be
One day he's gonna be
Said he's wanna be
Shorty's gonna be a thug
Said he's gonna be
One day he's gonna be
Said he wanna be
Shorty's gonna be a thug
Said he wanna be
One day he's gonna be
Said he wanna be
Shorty's gonna be a thug

Shorty's gonna be a thug

You little bad ass nigga (to the young niggas)
Gotta stay sharp nigga, play your part
You got plenty of time (you bad motherfuckas)
You only gettin' three mistakes, then that's life, big baby (niggas crazy)
Watch the signs
Damn, you ain't but sixteen, nigga?
Sixteen
That's a bad motherfucka
