Who?") But playa haters can't fade me ("Why?") Cause this is Thug Life n***a and we're crazy Tell me, do you see?

It's not about the nice guy. It's about the hardworkin' motherf**in' thug n***a. If you ain't a thug, n***a, you ain't really doin' nothin' You ain't really makin' nothin'. These motherf**in' po-po's and these pink folks got it all locked up for us to fail. See how they did O.J., and they doin' n***as like that all day. So, if you don't watch your motherf**in' stack, believe me, this could be your last breath
