When thugs cry..

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the Lord my guns to keep

If I die before I wake

I pray the Lord my soul to take

God (?), when thugs cry, too much is hard



[2Pac]

Born thuggin and lovin the way I came up

Big money clutchin, bustin while evadin cocaine busts

My pulse rushin, send my (?) into insanity

Shout at my cousin now we bustin if they yo' family

The coppers wanna see me buried, I ain't worried

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

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

They panic and bitches duckin, I rush 'em and fuck 'em all

I'll probably be an old man before I understand

why I had to live my life with pistols close at hand

Kidnapped my homey's sister, cut her face up bad

They even raped so we blazed they pad

Automatic shots rang out, on every block

They puttin hits out on politicians, even cops, I ain't lyin

They got me sleepin with my infrared beams

And in my dreams I hear motherfuckers screamin

What is the meaning, when thugs cry?



[Chorus: singers]

Oh why, children send your child off to die

In the streets of chalk where they lie

Let no wrongs cry out when thugs cry

Dear God..

Oh why, does it have to be this way, our

children of today won't stay wise

Let the children hear when thugs cry

Dear God.. oh why..
