Track No: 02

Said he wanna be, shorty's gonna be a thug
Said he wanna be, one day he's gonna be
Said he's gonna be, shorty's gonna be a thug
Said he's gonna be, one day he's gonna be
Said he wanna be, shorty's gonna be a thug
Said he wanna be, one day he's gonna be
Said he wanna be, shorty's gonna be a thug
Was a nice middle-class ****
But no one knew the evil he'd do when he got a little bigger
You'd often find him blazed, for puffin' on a Newport
Plottin' on a another way to catch a case
Was only sixteen, yet convicted as a felon
With a bunch of old ****, but you the only one ain't tellin'
I tell you it's a cold world, stay in school
You tell me it's a man's world, play the rules
And fade fools, break rules until we major
Blaze up, gettin' with hoes through my pager
Was raised up, commence the money-makin' tactics
It's gettin' drastic, **** got automatics
My finger's on the trigger
Tell the Lord, make way for another straight thug ****
I'm sittin', gettin' buzzed, lookin' for some love
From the homies, ‘cause shorty wanna be a thug
Said he's gonna be, said he's gonna be
One day he's gonna be, shorty's gonna be a thug
Said he's wanna be, said he's gonna be
One day he's gonna be, shorty's gonna be a thug
Said he's gonna be, one day he's gonna be
Said he wanna be, shorty's gonna be a thug
Said he wanna be, one day he's gonna be
Said he wanna be, shorty's gonna be a thug
Straight from the hall to the pen
An adolescent **** standin' way higher than six feet ten
He carried weight, like a Mack truck
Gonna bust on player haters, if them mothafuckers act tough
Then that's when, a lethal weapon with the razor
This little **** smoking weed and gettin' blazed up
No one could figure, when the guns blast, pull the trigger
Could take the life of a young ****, guns bigger
No mother and father, you see, the ****'s all alone
Old-timers my role model, the war zone
Been laced with this game till it's a part of me
My heart don't beat no fear, and that ain't hard to see
The future's lookin' dim
I'm tryin' to make a profit out of livin' in this sin
I'm in the dark, gettin' buzzed, lookin' for some love
Out with the homies, ‘cause shorty wanna be a thug
Said he's gonna be, said he's gonna be
One day he's gonna be, shorty's gonna be a thug
Said he's gonna be, one day he's gonna be
Said he's gonna be, shorty's gonna be a thug
Said he's gonna be, one day he's gonna be
Said he wanna be, shorty's gonna be a thug
Said he wanna be, one day he's gonna be
Said he wanna be, shorty's gonna be a thug
Shorty's gonna be a thug
Little bad ass ****, to the young ****
Gotta stay sharp, ****, play your part
Got plenty of time (Little bad motherfuckers)
You only get three mistakes, and then it's life, big baby
Them **** crazy
Watch the signs
Damn, you ain't but sixteen, ****?
Sixteen
Some bad motherfuckers
