Alvin McGill - Shorty Wanna Be a Thug lyrics

[Produced by Johnny J] [Hook] Said he wanna be, shorty's gonna be a thug Said he wanna be, one day he's gonna be Said he's gonna 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 [Verse 1] Was a nice middle-cla** n***a But no one knew the evil he'd do when he got a little bigger You'd often find him blazed, for puffing on a Newport Plotting on a another way to catch a case Was only 16, yet convicted as a felon With a bunch of old n***as, but you the only one ain't tellin' I tell you it's a cold world, stay in school You tell me it's a man's world, play the rules And fade fools, break rules until we major Blaze up, getting with hoes through my pager Was raised up, commence to money-makin' tactics It's getting drastic, n***as got automatics My finger's on the trigger Tell the Lord to make way for another straight thug n***a I'm sitting, getting buzzed, looking for some love From the homies, ‘cause shorty wanna be a thug [Hook] Said he's gonna be, said he's gonna be One day he's gonna be, shorty's gonna be a thug Said he's wanna be, said he's wanna 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 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 [Verse 2] Straight from the hall to the pen An adolescent n***a standing way higher than six feet ten He carried weight, like a Mack truck Gonna bust on playa haters, if them mothaf**as act tuff Then that's when, a lethal weapon with the razor This little n***a smoking weed and getting blazed up No one could figure, when the guns blast, pull the trigger Could take the life of a young n***a, guns bigger No mother and father, you see, the n***a's all alone Old timers my role model, the war zone Been laced with this game 'til it's a part of me My heart don't beat no fear, and that ain't hard to see The future is looking dim I'm tryin' to make a profit out of living in this sin I'm in the dark, getting buzzed, looking for some love Out with the homies, ‘cause shorty wanna be a thug [Hook] Said he's gonna be, said he's gonna be One day he's gonna be, shorty's gonna be a thug Said he's wanna be, one day he's gonna be Said he's gonna be, shorty's gonna be a thug Said he's wanna 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 [Outro] Shorty's gonna be a thug Little bad a** n***a, to the young n***as Gotta stay sharp, n***a, play your part! Got plenty of time (you bad mothaf**as) You only get three mistakes, and then it's life, big baby (n***as craaazy) Watch the signs! Damn, n***a! Sixteen, n***a? Sixteen?! Too bad, mothaf**ers
