Dre Legend - Thug Life Intro Lyrics

Rest in peace to my reli Nick a Legend on his block
It feels like yesterday when I heard That you got shot
I was leavin' lavish just got life's a Gamble tatted
It's kind of how you took risks to Get everything that mattered
For your family so you ate meals You paid bills you great still
We sheddin' blood and sheddin' Tears believe we feel pain still
And it don't surprise me it took More than one to take you out
You was a real G believe me you Really made me proud
And I come from the struggle
If you don't got a nine to five then You really gotta hustle
And when niggas get you f*cked up Then you really gotta tussle
I done fought Crips, fought Bloods, Eses and got jumped
Ask me if I ever panicked I'd say Not once
Still ride till I die with my day ones
Makguyver and Niph, Lil J and Twiz, K Dubb, Young Ris y'all Never switched
And I'm knowin' that I'm loco I get It from my Pops they called him D'ablo when he was bangin' on the Block
And he's always gettin locked
I want it stopped I can't change him
He ain't never been a role model so I don't ever blame him
My grandpa was a role model but God had to take him
He kept his spirits high he never let Cancer break him
And it f*cked me up inside and I Ain't gonna lie
So I do this for the people that feel Hopeless at some times
You're not alone don't give up we All fightin' that fight
And they judgin' me so they label Me a thug nigga by sight
But it's f*ck your opinion you don't Know my life
But it's f*ck your opinion you don't Know my life
See you don't know what it feels Like not havin' any money
And you don't know what it feels Like to walk around bummy
You don't know how it feels to Drink water when you're hungry
You'll never know my struggle yet You know how to judge me
You don't know what it's like to be So hated in this country the Obstacles I've overcame to make it In this country
I'll always have my name and you Can never it take it from me
Unless you lock me in a cage and Try to break me in this country
I'm why you cross the street when You see me from afar
The reason you get paranoid and Double lock your car
I'm the one you don't approve of to Be with your daughter
And the blacker the skin gets the Hate grows stronger
I just want my reparations but they Still haven't paid me
They askin' why am I a thug?
I say America made me

(They askin' why am I a thug?
I say America made me)

(They askin' why am I a thug?
I say America made me)
