[Cormega]
 Cormega the illest
 niggaz feel this
 my rhymes and raps
 like dmx
 i'll kill this
 one final request
 i'll fullfill the this
 niggaz don't know the
 shit i grew up wit
 single parent home
 welfare checks
 no phones
 still surviving  multiplying
 trying to make it
 in the rap game
 the only sane nigga
 i never would complain
 i put crack aside
 tried the hip hop ride
 stepped my game up
 layed the bitch up
 in 99 i try to make my shit blow up
 cause a nigga young as me
 never thuggin
 but still known as a g
 can you feel me, no
 but you know i'm there
 creepin' through your crib at night
 kill yo mamma
 your brutha, your sister, and your wife
 some call me trife
 but its all cause i live a thug life

 hook:
 it's a thug life nigga
 say whut???
 it's a thug life nigga
 say whut???
 it's a thug life nigga
 say whut???
 it's a thug life nigga
 say whut???
 Crystal(Singin): Thug Life

 [Cormega]
 sometimes fear takes control of us all
 niggaz never realize
 the seriousness of it all
 jelously and envy
 takin' over the streets
 make a nigga like me wonder what
 we did to deserve these feats
 hungry children in the ghetto
 with out enough to eat
 families in housing projects during
 the winter without no heat
 speak about it all you want
 with reverand jesse jackson
 with faracon, cochran,
 and mr. affirmative action
 that's just step one son
 apply it to life
 just like the law about handguns
 and remember no nigga out there
 should have to lose his life
 fuck it
 i guess it's just thug life

 hook

 [Cormega]
 them muthafuckas on wall street
 don't give a fuck about the ghetto
 they would rather suck dick than help you
 and ain't afraid to let you know
 then they run for office
 get up and talk shit
 win your vote, get ellected
 and don't do shit
 i was born and raised
 a new york native
 sold drugs, got paid,
 until the operation was raided
 it makes me sick, day after day
 that bum *(clinton) smokes celtzer(weed)
 and gets mad paid
 the government will never get rid of drugs
 they get too much money for it
 congressmen shoot up
 and then go to work and legislate
 sounds great
 i wish i was a politician
 my only mission would
 be to smack crack and pretend like i'm listening
 so fuck 'em
 we'll handle our problems on our own
 they'll probably get mad, try to to take our life
 well nigga
 that's just thug life

 hook:

 [Cormega]
 yo this is cormega
 and i'm here to tell all of you
 livin' on the streets
 in housin' projects
 and in ghettos
 to keep ya head up
 times are bad on the streets
 killin' and shit
 but i want each and everyone of you
 to keep up hope
 peace out
