When Thugs Cry

When Thugs Cry Lyrics

[Chorus]
How can you just leave me standin'
alone in a world that's
so cold
maybe I'm just too demandin'
maybe I'm just like my father too
bold
maybe I'm just like my mother
she's never satisfied
why do we
scream at each other
this is what it sounds like when thugs
cry

[Verse 1]

(yo) First off I got a seed comin'
so I
won't even front like I don't need nothin'
dependin' on record sales for me
to see
somethin'
but if that fall back how the f**k I'm supposed to feed
little Budden
I been to jail before
I been a bum before

but a nigga
ain't never had a son before
I dealt with caine and fire
I done banged
with fighters
but I ain't never changed
a diaper
I ain't ready
ever
since I signed niggas been on my back
like mouse what up, when I'm gettin' on
the track
and
so the hood hates me
figured they be much kinder like Joe
congradulations and we comin' right behind ya
everybody in the
hood I
dap
says I'm responible for everybody in the hood that raps
they don't
like how I do sh*t
say I changed
I'm the
same nigga that ya'll went to
high school with
after all these years I'm still the same drug addict
and
it's f**ked up I'm
sober with them same drug habits
I still pinch, thief,
con and lie, rob, shoot
difference now is I ain't high
Cats is
after
me
atleast I got a crew to warn me
I don't like walkin' around
with this 32 on me
atleast my mans is real
atleast my
family's
there
is it worth rappin'
the answers yeah but I don't
know...

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]

yo I'm a
survivor
I seen darker days
a mama's boy with my father's ways
but I
had to see my mom in tears
when pop went
to the store for them newports
that he must ain't find in years
my little brother lives in the same
state
I ain't know
that
I got a little brother
I didn't know
that
see I was never told that
if so I'd of been at the door with a
basketball
and a kodak
love my baby moms to death
she don't believe
that
sh*t I ain't never there for her to see that
don't wanna
lose my
wiz
beggin' her to do this bid
not jail but this music sh*t
and I know
your family hate me but we come far
just
us against the world
unarmed
me and my girlfriend
come a time when your mind ain't right and
you (??)
and you get used
to not being used to
I'm cool with where the
lord placed me
but I hold my heat and pray I never have to take it
off
safety
I pray for all my niggas pinchin' on the curb
Jersey City
will get the recognition it deserves
I pray for my son,
he'll have genes
like me
pray that he don't have to go through everything like me
pray to
God to bring out the things I
never knew I had in me
the rest of my mom
and dad in me (uh huh)

[Chorus]
