life as a thug
everyday i walk these streets
tryin to find my way back
to the place i call home
but these cops taken my family
havin no where else to go
i sit on these streets wishin
that i can make it another day

i defy all logics in life
standing quiet is not me
making somethin outta nothin
seems to be my way of life

my whole life i was told
if i were to die
i would die as a young thug

my whole life i was told
if i were go to jail
it wuld be because of drugs

everday i walk these streets
lookin over my shoulder
never knowin when life will end
but i keep sellin these drugs
raised in a house full of thugs
i cant break who i am
im hated for who i am

i defy all logics in life
standing quiet is not me
making somethin outta nothin
seems to be my way of life

But aint nobody know me
like i know me
i only do it for my family

i keep my 9 wit me
because where i go
im guaranteed to die

everyday i walk these streets
i take each minute for granted
keepin my gun by myside
never knowin when someone
wants to take my life
its hard holdin on
to somethin that dont exist

as i step outside
i hear the gunshots go off
watchin he cops take my partnas
could i be the nex one
as i lay my head down to sleep
i dont know if ill see the sun again

i defy all logics in life
standing quiet is not me
making somethin outta nothin
seems to be my way of life

but as far as im concerned
im still alive
