[Chorus]

T-H-U-G we be

That's thug mentality, we're thuggin'

Thuggin', thuggin', thuggin' (It's the way I choose to live my life)

T-H-U-G we be

That's thug mentality, we're thuggin'

Thuggin', thuggin', thuggin' (Thuggin' 'til the day I die)

T-H-U-G we be

That's thug mentality, we're thuggin'

Thuggin', thuggin', thuggin' (It's the way I choose to live my life)

T-H-U-G we be

That's thug mentality, we're thuggin'

Thuggin', thuggin', thuggin' (Thuggin' 'til the day I die)


[Verse 1]

I done been around the world and everywhere it be the same song

Niggas strugglin' daily gotta survive, it's worldwide

Even niggas from Paris to London be hustlin'

Doin' whatever to get the money

Lookin' at the whole world wide of thugs, but you got to keep it real if you want to make it through with the biz

And make them dollars for your kids

Gotta handle your business, gotta get in it to win it and then you gotta get up outta there

And that's real really, my thugs feel me

Put your fists up in the air, yeah

Nigga, come into the war and I'ma meet you niggas there

Ready to rumble, and I swear, we coming from everywhere

Where my thugs at, where they at? Fuck that

Nigga, let's do in the enemy now

Terminate, eliminate 'em

Takin' out they frustration on the world, get 'em back for playa hatin'

So come on, we gotta roll

And wouldn't you know, they ain't ready for the war

While they rest, take some

Give the rest to the poor, we in total control

Make 'em feel the pain in 2-double-0-0

It's the end of the road, so what you gon' do?

I'ma ride, you can die if you want to (Want to)

But all them real, soldiers come on, move

Get your suits on, boots on, keep troopin' on

T-H (T-H) U-G (U-G), that's what we be

Across the nation, pump your fist and get ready for this occasion

Nigga better the fade on, I wanna see victory

Y'all niggas better roll with this, 'cause we splittin' 'em

Fuck that, we with it

That's thug mentality


[Chorus]

T-H-U-G we be

That's thug mentality, we're thuggin'

Thuggin', thuggin', thuggin' (It's the way I choose to live my life)

T-H-U-G we be

That's thug mentality, we're thuggin'

Thuggin', thuggin', thuggin' (Thuggin' 'til the day I die)

T-H-U-G we be

That's thug mentality, we're thuggin'

Thuggin', thuggin', thuggin' (It's the way I choose to live my life)

T-H-U-G we be

That's thug mentality, we're thuggin'

Thuggin', thuggin', thuggin' (Thuggin' 'til the day I die)


[Verse 2]

Every thug, if you wanna be a thug, nigga, thug if you got to

Throw it up, keep it in the air, scream it out

"Thug! (Thug!) Thug! (Thug!)" Thuggin' 'til the day I die

What am I? If you look into my eyes, you'll truly find

No kind like I, gemini, gotta control both sides

My lordy lord maintain, hard, 'cause I'm a soldier at war

Steady runnin' with the weapon 'cause it still ain't gettin' better

I figured it out, it's all real

If it ain't, then it ain't right

Come on, if you wanna feel the thug love, and it's real

We got the real thing, baby

I hate to burn ya, learn ya, stay out it if, it don't concern ya

You don't really want to get involved with the murder

But, shit, if you want it, you got it, we bring it, it don't stop

We gone pop shots still to the double Glock Glock

Never taking no shorts, no losses man

Yes, these days are still the same like, gotta make that money mane, bang

Gotta get down for my thang and I do it so smooth

When I'm stalkin' gat fools, walkin' jack moves

Now I'm on the run witta me shotgun, Bottom line; it's on!

Y'all can't fuck with the thuggish ruggish (ruggish) Bone, Bone, Bone, Bone

That's thug mentality


[Chorus]

T-H-U-G we be

That's thug mentality, we're thuggin'
