Define Thug

By Anemic (Rapper)

[Intro]

It's a tale of lonely soldiers who hopelessly act so hopeless

We take advantage of the lives we have and only they know this

Comittin' crimes in street grime just to pass time

Spittin' raw lines in the form of cocky rhymes

When I say the word "thug," what comes to mind is hip hop and rappin'

Drugs, guns, money, crime, hoes, swag, and scrappin'

Thug has been redefined over the past fear years

So, here's a couple questions that I ask you here


[Verse 1]

When I say the word "thug," what's the first thing that comes to mind?

Probably niggas saying they're dope when they spit lines

Niggas who rob gas stations for the sole thrill

One who kills a clerk with a place in his heart out to you

He steps out of the darkness and avoids the harshness

And controls his actions to be a man who starts these

Commotions to have us all make a change

Like Pac, we've gotta take our path and make it rearranged

When you ignored the advice, you became the bean spiller

You spoke, now you're broke and formed to a serial killer

I kill and sin for fun when I rose from the concrete

Nothing but my skill to rap within God's reach

So I ask Him, "Why do thugs sin?"

Because we have to guide ourselves through our pain to some day win

We always fought solely to avoid our life's struggle

But it's too much change to where they'd kill for another

We sin to stay the same, ignore change with aggressiveness

But now you're spending all your time trying in restlessness

You rap with gimmicks solely for the flashiness, see

It's passion I seek with Passionate MC

In my defense, this whole game is deadly and lethal

Don't let the story commence, it will kill too many people


[Verse 2]

You see, when I write lyrics, I'm at a major risk

Of my ideas and styles being stolen by a plagiarist

The day I rise, I'll be demonized by the people who stole

My life and everything I am, even including my soul

Get your own life and get your own damn career

I hope when you hear me,, you fear me and leaver my life here

This is my legion of darkness in my hands

If you keep on stealing my soul, I'll never advance

I make a loud noise as I rise up, we all look around

What was that sound? Hellbound is shaking the ground

I'm the Fire Lord without a crown with major powers now

I can cause an earthquake when I humbly take a bow

You stole my soul when my powers were unleashed

Now I seek to see those demonic flames released

You didn't commit to meet me half way before it fades

You signed a lease so stick with me as we clash our blades

Battling a real thug causes a chain reaction

It makes us all break out and be seen in action

Now we're flashing as if we're the main attraction

Merely a fraction of the backstabbing thugs are still clashing

In a flash, I'm back as the trash that I am

Battling these fakers, they're down to their final plan

The fakeness spreads through in contamination

I decree a proclamation to stop the nonsense, take an examination


[Verse 3]

Take a closer look for these niggas who were shook

Redefining the grime by just stepping out of line

Crimes only define half of what we do

Thugs only do it because of their struggle, including me too

Bad decisions, good intention - that just ends the interception

It takes perception to survive an intervention

These demons intervene as it seems that they act really mean

They act fake, I just can't take it, it's just so demeaning

Somehow I'm still gleaming more than Stephen King's Shining

I demand to see the reason why you keep on dimly lying?

You claim it was because you were barely surviving

Like Pinocchio, your nose grows bigger... You spoiled it

YOU SOILED IT... I'm sorry, was that bad timing?

Nope, the definition of MCs is killing headless pigeons

Like the people who act weak and are too scared to fight to death

But their stories can be explained from right to left

Stay wide awake and never close your eyes

You can rest your eyes all you want the day you die

But you've gotta realize that you're not a thug, you won't survive

Out in these streets until the day that our souls collide

You taunt me, demons haunt me, I'm constantly annoyed

But now that I've busted you, your demons will be destroyed

You'll never be what you're not again until we reach the end

Of the chapter because you ignore the message that I send


[Outro]

Now let me ask you again, what is the definition?

Amended spirits of your life makes bad thoughts that you invision

You take advantage of what you've got ungratefully

You lack hope of survival - you act unfaithfully

We fight for what's right and withstand what we suffer

Learn not to hang onto what you lost, you must find another

Focus on what you have - a path to take as it fades

We grab our blades to end the labyrinth for the aftermath then we wait

Define a thug...
