(Intro O'Dell)
 girl you know you need a thug (x3)

 (verse 1 Popeye)
 forget your feelings inside
 all they do is over reach my tone
 underhand on me when i speach on the phone
 featured alone
 from makin my business i caught
 your vision
 shinin while you were with homey and his religon
 he isn't who you though he was
 from second hand to man
 caught a buzz
 he don't deserve to ride with shorty cause
 caught each other one in a drought
 nervous but yet you put your heart in my lap
 start to adopt
 rap, we promised it in the right way
 killaz that rome the streets
 and don't give a fuck what your wife say
 we might break
 but theres light follow in a moon
 restin in the sun
 the dirty south number one

 [Hook-Mercedes/(O'Dell)]
 u can't give a little
 (girl you know you need a thug)
 u can't give a little not just a little
 (girl you know you need a thug)
 u can't give a little
 (girl you know you need a thug)
 you can' give a little not just a little
 and asume that i'ma give you what you need

 (verse 2-Mercedes)
 you got my head down
 and i still think that i can't see
 this ain't 69
 it's 680 with you and me
 lately you ain't been tryin to
 keep up with my love
 if you can't deal with the give and take
 then baby let me be
 i need a thug
 with a gangstaz touch
 lets take a chance on raw romance
 baby blow my mind
 i need you
 to speed things up
 don't slow down baby
 or lose this lady
 keep up with my love
