[Intro]
Major! Hell motherf**in' yeah
This one goes out to my n***a Mike Coolin, hell yeah
Mama raised a hellraiser
[Verse 1]
Born thuggin'
Heartless and mean, muggin at sixteen
On the scene watchin' fiends buggin
Kickin up dust with the older G's
Soakin up the game that was told to me
I ain't never touched a gat that I couldn't shoot
I learned not to trust the b**h from the prostitutes
Taught lessons, a young n***a askin' questions
While other s**ers was guessin', I was gangsta s**in'
Elementary wasn't meant for me, can't regret it
I'm headed for the penitentiary and cuttin' cla**ing
I'm buckin blastin, straight mashin
Mobbin through the overpa** laughin
While these other motherf**ers try to figure out, no doubt
They jealous of a n***a's clout, tell me Lord
Can ya feel me? I keep my finger on the trigger
Cause some n***a tried to k** me
And mama raised a hellraiser, everyday gettin paid
Police on my pager, straight stressin
A fugitive my occupation is under question
Wanted for investigation, and even though
I'm marked for d**h, I'mma spark til I lose my breath
Motherf**ers, every time I see the paper
I see my picture, when a n***a's gettin richer
They come to get ya, it's like a motherf**in trap
And they wonder why it's hard bein black
Dear Lord can ya feel me, gettin major, unhh
[Hook]
Mama raised a hellraiser, stress gettin' major
Lord be my savior, unnh
Mama raised a hellraiser, stress gettin' major
Lord be my savior, unnh
Mama raised a hellraiser, stress gettin' major
Lord be my savior, unnh
Mama raised a hellraiser, stress gettin' major
Lord be my savior, unnh
Mama raised a hellraiser
Stress gettin' major, unnh
Mama raised a hellraiser, stress gettin' major
[Ad-Lib/Collision: 2Pac]
Dear Lord can ya feel me
[Verse 2]
Tell me Lord can ya feel me, show a sign
Damn near running outta time, everybody's dyin
Mama raised a hellraiser, can't figure
Why you let the police beat down n***as
I'm startin to think all the rich in the world is safe
While the po' babies rushin' into early graves
God come save the youth
Ain't nothin else to do but have faith in you
Dear Lord I live the life of a Thug, hope you understand
Forgive me for my mistakes, I gotta play my hand
And my hand's on the sixteen-shot, semi-automatic
Crooked cop k**in Glock, tell me Lord
Can ya feel me? Show a way
I'm prayin but my enemies won't go away
And everywhere I turn I see n***as burn
Every n***a that I know's on d**h row
My younger homie's seventeen and he paid a price
Little young motherf**er doin triple life
Though I tell him in his letters, it's gettin better
If my n***a knew the truth he'd hit the roof
Just heard ya baby's mama was smoked out, f** the drama
Wanna break my Loc out, smokin blunts
Gettin drunk off that Tanqueray gin
'Bout to break my n***a out the f**in' pen'
Mama raised a hellraiser, uhh, yeah
C'mon, uhh, mama raised a hellraiser
Uhh, dear Lord can ya feel me, stress gettin major
(Lord be my savior, unnh)
[Hook]
Mama raised a hellraiser, stress gettin' major
Lord be my savior, unnh
Mama raised a hellraiser, stress gettin' major
Lord be my savior, unnh
Mama raised a hellraiser, stress gettin' major
Lord be my savior, unnh
Mama raised a hellraiser, stress gettin' major
[Verse 3]
Dear Lord can ya hear me, it's just me
A young n***a tryin to make it on these rough streets
I'm on my knees beggin please come and SAVE ME
THE WHOLE WORLD done made a n***a crazy!
I got my three-five-seven can't control it
Screamin die motherf**er and he's loaded
Everybody run for cover, aww sh**
Thug Life motherf**er, duck quick
Now am I wrong if I am don't worry me
Cause do or die gettin high till they bury me
Dear Lord if ya hear me, tell me why
Little girl like LaTasha, had to die
She never got to see the bullet, just heard the shot
Her little body couldn't take it, it shook and dropped
And when I saw it on the news how she bucked the girl, k**ed Latasha
Now I'm screamin f** the world, in the end
It's my friends, that flip-flop
Lip-locked on my dick when my sh** drop
Thug Life motherf**er, I lick shots
Every n***a on my block dropped two cops
Dear Lord can ya hear me, when I die
Let a n***a be strapped, f**ed up, and high
With my hands on the trigger, thug n***a
Stressin' like a motherf**in' drug dealer
And even in the darkest nights, I'm a thug for Life
I got the heart to fight now
Mama raised a hellraiser why cry
That's just life in the ghetto, do or die
