Mama always told me (told me)
 but papa never showed me (showed me)
 So i live the life of a thug
 and all I wanna do is smoke weed, ride, and sell drugs
 Mama always told me it'd happen
 but she never told me when
 she said probably happen when I get much older
 but I kinda wish it would of happened then
 cuz I had my mind on gettin' some money
 nigga I'm tryin' get rich
 mom told me never trust these niggas
 and ummm never put your faith in the bitch
 see I hang with a bunch of grave yard villians
 nigga robbin' sprees we stealin'
 choppin' keys with drug dealers
 click like pistol with killers
 they tried to preech to me, couldn't preech to me
 tried to teach me, couldn't teach me
 see I've gotta learn the hard way on my own
 cuz nobody else could give me a reason
 they always told me I'll probably end up dead
 or in the pen see me and P some outcasts
 can't arrest the family tellin' the kids not to be like him
 and see it was ruff some times but it had to be
 enough trippin' on Cess go hand your back and pass the weed
 I ran wild deep in the game off of change
 nigga bitch won't fuck 'em nigga won't kill me
 but its all in the game
 see pop was too busy doin' his own thing to try to show me
 but mom told me Silkk watch your paper
 at the top it gets lonely, mama told me
 (Chorus)(2X)
 Mama always told me (told me)
 but papa never showed me (showed me)
 So i live the life of a thug
 and all I wanna do is smoke weed, ride, and sell drugs
 token guns on my side, no limit niggas gone ride
 paper chasin' for millions Tru niggas won't die
 make time for some dope nigga fuck bein' broke
 I live my life on the ropes nigga fuck the P.O.
 I leave you dead with the bustas
 real niggas gone love us
 we make crack with the killers and sell dope to the country
 nigga nigga outlaws and dealers tattoo and killers
 niggas bout it with millions now the world gone feel this
 I'm staying TRU to the game you bitches callin' my name
 mama told me to change its ghetto blood in my vein
 see I got love for thugs never mix sex with drugs
 my enemy in blood when I come bury me a thug
 henessy and weed be a ball with desert
 these shirts and kakis is how we work
 hypnotized by change after fortune and fame
 I roll 20's and thangs rolex and change but uh..
 (Chorus)(2X)
 Mama always told me (told me)
 but papa never showed me (showed me)
 So I live the life of a thug
 and all I wanna do is smoke weed, ride, and sell drugs
 right from the edge killer nigga gone off coke
 brown sticky dope makin' niggas turn on their folks
 ain't now rules, fools rush in but don't come out
 so many niggas round my way die runnin' their mouth
 fairy tales are for children we ain't story book livin'
 south streets be bloody from all the shootin' and killin'
 villians ride for similac and crack and smack
 and its a fact all killers ain't inner city blacks
 my homies have to serve on blocks that's hot with cops
 with rocks and stacks and be packed to get their scraps
 I don't knock it cuz if my pocket starts to lose weight
 you can find me on I-10 tryin' move weight
 my mama on her knees prayin' givin' god her time
 while I'm on the streets hustlin' tryin' gettin' what's mine
 am I wrong am I right got can only determine
 I can only live my life and life is for learnin' check it
 (Chorus)(4X)
 Mama always told me (told me)
 but papa never showed me (showed me)
 So i live the life of a thug
 and all I wanna do is smoke weed, ride, and sell drugs
