When Thugz Cry - Album Version (Edited)

When Thugz Cry

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray to Lord my guns to keep

If I die before I wake

I pray to Lord my soul to take

Got us dyin'

When Thugz Cry

Times is hard

Born thuggin' and lovin'

The way I came up, big money clutchin'

Bustin' while evadin' cocaine bust

My po's rushin'

To my cushin' into insanity

They shot at my cousin, now we bustin' at they whole family

These cowards wanna see me buried,

I aint worried

I got a loan on the D.A. cause I'm fuckin' the secretary

I black out, start cussin', bust 'em and touch 'em all

They panicin', bitches duckin'

I rush 'em and fuck 'em all

Probably be an old man before I understand

Why I had to live my life with pistols close in hand

Kidnapped my homie sister cut her face up bad

The even raped her so we blazed they pad

Automatic shots rang out on every block

The puttin hits on the politicians even cops

I ain't lyin', they got me sleeping' with my infrared beams

And in my dreams I hear muthafuckas screamin'

What's the meanin'?

When thugz cry

Oh why

Should you send your child off to die

In the streets of chalk

When they die

Let the rocks cry out

When thugz cry

Dear God

(when thugz cry)

Oh why

Does it have to be this way Ahh

children of today won't stay by

(when thugz cry)

Let the children hear

When thugz cry

Dear God

Oh why

(Ha)

Maybe my addiction to friction got me buggin'

Where is the love, never quit my ambitions to thug

Ain't shed a tear since the old school years of elementary

Niggers I used to love enclosed in penitentiaries

Still homie keep it real, how does it feel?

To loose your life over something that you did as a kid

you all alone no communication, block on the phone

Don't get alone with your pops and plus your moms is gone

Where did we go wrong? I put my soul in this song

To help us grow in time but now our minds are gone

We went from brothers and sisters to niggers and bitches

We went from welfare livin' to worldwide riches

But somethin' change in this dirty game

Everything strange, lost all my homies over cocaine, Man

See they ask me if I shed a tear, I ain't lie

See, you gotta get high or die

Cause even thugz cry

Oh why

Should you send your child off to die

In the streets of chalk

(when thugz cry)

When they die

(We don't shed a tear, she shed blood)

Let the rocks cry out

When thugz cry

(Do you still wanna be a thug)

Dear God

Oh why

Does it have to be this way Ahh

Children of today won't stay by

Let the children hear

When thugz cry

Dear God

Oh why

And all I see are these paranoid bitches, illegal inventions

Bustin' muthafuckas with uppercuts, I leave 'em with dentures

Cause in my criminal mind nobody violates the Don

I write your name on a piece of paper, and now your family's gone

Well perpetrate like you could handle my team

So merciless in mind try to take command of your dreams

Leavin' muthafuckas drownin' in they own blood

Clown and takin' pictures

Later laugh at the punk bitches that turned snitches

Regulate my area the terror I represent

Make your people disapear, your wonderin' where they went

Am I cold, or is it just I sold my soul?

Addicted to the streets

Never found true peace I'm told

Come take my body, God

Don't let me suffer any longer

Smoke a pound of marijuana so I know it ain't long

Where is the end to all my misery?

Is there a close?

I suppose that's why I murder my foes

When thugz cry

Oh why

Should you send your child off to die

In the streets of chalk

(I shed tattoo tearz for years)

When they die

Let the rocks cry out

(To my dead homeboyz and the prison peace)

When thugz cry

Dear God

Oh why

(Yall ain't never heard my bries, nigga, what about if you would die)

Does it have to be this way Ahh

Children of today won't stay by

Let the children hear

When thugz cry

Dear God

repeat chorus until fade
