Intro:

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



Verse One:

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 the whole family

These cowards wanna see me buried,

I aint worried

I got a lone 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



Chrous:

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)



Verse two:

Maybe my addiction to friction got me buggin'

Where is the love, never quit my amitionz to thug

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

Niggaz I used to love encl
