[Intro: Trick Daddy]

If I ain't a thug

You think I ain't a thug

Tell me what I am


[Hook: Trey Songz]

'Cause if I ain't a thug, why do I feel this way?

Why the streets stay on my mind?

Since I am a thug, why do you go get so mad?

Why can't y'all accept that it's my life?


[Verse 1: Trick Daddy]

If I ain't a thug, y'all tell me who is

How many other motherfuckers y'all know can do this?

Nigga I'm a thug forever and I never ever

Disrespect the game or cross one of my niggas

Listen, slippin' already cost one of my niggas

So I better select the fools that I be dealin' with

And I don't know nothin', didn't hear or say nothin'

I can't remember but yet, I still won't forget 'em

I'm from the dark side, born and raised in thug life

And I'm out that city full of drug dealers and wise guys

If I ain't a thug then you explain it cuz

How come a young nigga livin' so dangerous?

And why my name always somehow involved in stuff

Through all the years, y'all plan to target us

Yeah, I am thug nigga, but I ain't no drug dealer

Three time convicted felon so I oughta know better


[Hook: Trey Songz]

'Cause if I ain't a thug, why do I feel this way?

Why the streets stay on my mind?

Since I am a thug, why do you go get so mad?

Why can't y'all accept that it's my life?


[Verse 2: Trick Daddy]

From day one, I been thuggin' and I'm lovin' every minute of it

To all you critics and haters, I'm saying motherfuck ya

I don't like ya and therefore, I don't trust ya

You couldn't shut me up, now you tryna set me up

It's bad enough we had it rough when we was growin' up

You killed Pac and Biggie, now tryina kill us

But I through my 4 up 'cause I'm forever for sho

A thug rebel for certain, that's how I'm livin'

Listen, I ain't the snitchin' kind of nigga

Yo and I'm a different kind of nigga, so you busta can't hit me

Ain't no sentimental nigga, I'm sittin' on spinners nigga

And when I'm draggin' me denims don't you busta try to hit 'em

I'm from the part where stars like them heavy stars

Quality sound beatin' down each and every car

I'm givin' them hell like I'm David Chappelle

Prostitute born male, with plenty dick for sell


[Hook: Trey Songz]

'Cause if I ain't a thug, why do I feel this way?

Why the streets stay on my mind?

Since I am a thug, why do you go get so mad?

Why can't y'all accept that it's my life?


[Verse 3: Trick Daddy]

But since I am a thug, that's why you listen to me

'Cause I am a THUG officially, ya see

A lot of niggas still doubt a nigga

So when they conversatin', they be playa hatin' 'bout a nigga

But I expect them to, what else they suppose do?

They dead broke and I got more flow then they do

And they mad 'cause I don't fuck with them

Oh well, stay mad 'cause I don't kiss niggas ass

Listen, I'm too busy bein' a real nigga

So if you fuck with me, you can fuck around and get killed nigga

The truth is Mr. Dollars is the real deal

Hell, I'm the motherfuckin' Dade County mayor, yeah

And I'm strictly for the thugs

Cause I'ma show enough for 'em

Quick to straight fuck ya, nigga what

Pussy nigga what, for my motherfuckin' thugs


[Hook: Trey Songz]

'Cause if I ain't a thug, why do I feel this way?

Why the streets stay on my mind?

Since I am a thug, why do you go get so mad?

Why can't y'all accept that it's my life?

'Cause if I ain't a thug, why do I feel this way?

Why the streets stay on my mind?

Since I am a thug, why do you go get so mad?

Why can't y'all accept that it's my life?


[Outro: Trey Songz]

It's my life

If you thuggin'

If I ain't a thug

If you thuggin'

'Cause if I ain't a thug

If you thuggin'

'Cause if I ain't a thug

'Cause if I ain't a thug, why do I feel this way?

Why the streets stay on my mind?
