Y'all Understand that we hurting y'all, y'all come attatched. It's all good. This One for y'all, y'know what I mean? Yo, ya know? Its crazy. We all together [Noreaga] I used to cut pies, in front of my girl, now I apologized The reason why: (My fault) she seen the red in my eyes When I was cuttin it, feelin like the archives Choppin it down, thinkin I'm, choosing my prize Never hit the street with out my heat, boo, told me not to Said, "Paps, we know the jake 'ill try to knock you" You do your thing, boo, I'll still be there, don't mean to knock you I know its hard f**in with a thug n***a like me Thinkin would I get locked? Come home tonight or not? Black Princess, kiss you when I see you White women suntan and try to be you The ?Mellanin? in your skin, make it all see-through Sometimes he hurt y'all, not understanding what we doing Sweatin at the foul line like Pat Ewing Yo from all the brothers I dedicate to the mothers My mother, grandmother of the Earth If it wasn't for women, then it wouldn't be birth What, its all real Chorus [Chico DeBarge] We're just some thug people (That's what we are) That's what we are, trying hard to change the way we live (Change the way we live) But we can't take back, cause thats what we are Trying hard to change the way life we live [Noreaga] Yo, yo, aiyyo, you got chronic?

Cause We know how we are, we know how we make y'all feel sometimes. Knowing that we Ain't doing it purposely. We're just being the person that we are. Hanging With the fellas, gettin jealous, y'know what I mean?You know what it is. This One's for y'all Word up. I want y'all to tell all y'all girlfriends about this one Chorus
