Hey cue that shit that the verse mixed up (See what I'm sayin')

Gotsta hold on

I been trapped for so long

Gotsta hold on

I been trapped for so long

Gotsta hold on

I been trapped for so long

Gotsta hold on

See, see marijuana got me copin' with my problems

And Hennessy got me hopin' I could solve 'em

My baby mama full of drama

Tryin' to scar me, but unlike my old sorry ass father, I tried harder

My baby raised to hate her daddy

Her mammy playa hate and wishin that she had me

She hate to see me on tha street and still on my feet

Betta yet this bitch wish them crackers had me

See everybody wantsa hustle, but don't nobody wanna suffer

Nobody wantsta die 'cause they all bustas and suckas

Ain't never gon' have nothin' 'cause they be frontin'

Gotta sacrifice, three time for every dime they be wantin'

And believe me, being a thug it ain't that easy

I once was a fool but see they had to free me

I'm undercover man, but still they ain't respectin' me

Tryin to get the best of me constantly stressin me

We gotta hold on (Hold on)

See you must be strong (So strong)

Against thug happiness (Gotsta hold on)

You can go wrong (I been trapped for so long)

For my homies in the hood (Gotsta hold on)

What will you do? (I been trapped or so long)

Which life will you choose? (Gotsta hold on)

(I been trapped for so long)

See big daddy gave her diamond rings

He introduced her to the finer things, looked out started buyin' her things

Minor things for the small change and had her off the chain

And it's a awful thang, she ain't even cost a thang

Even though I'm thugged out

She loved how

I did wrong for so long and still got by, see thug money got blood on it

Plus, it leave residue, boy, I'm tellin' you, I put mo' bread on it

I lost a homie in the stuggle right and just the other night

Somebody tried to take my dawgs' life

Atempted homicide, they outside and ain't gon' let 'em ride

Don't wanna talk and ain't gon' let 'em slide

They want war instead, they want more for dead

Rather die open fire or do life for their's

Take a life instead, kill his wife in bed

Ten times to the head, what the shooter said?

We gotta hold on (Hold on)

See you must be strong (So strong)

Against thug happiness (Gotsta hold on)

You can go wrong (I been trapped for so long)

For my homies in the hood (Gotsta hold on)

What will you do? (I been trapped or so long)

Which life will you choose? (Gotsta hold on)

(I been trapped for so long)

See, I'm thinkin' 'bout when I was younger

I had to hustle in the summer, no time for cryin', had to help my mama

Any time and any weather, whatever's clever

And hardly ever never had to step and get my shit together

I left my homies in tha pen and reason being

See, everyman got his own sin, but I'ma always remember y'all

'Cause after all y'all still my dawgs and when ya jump we can still ball

My nigga Ronnie, Lil Willie and Fat Fred

Big Black, My dog Sparky and Lil Ed

It be times like this, I sit around like this, cryin' 'bout this

Thinkin' why my clique gotta go and die like this?

No duckin', no fearin' nothin'

Hearin' nothin' stayin' rich but buggin', we call that thuggin'

But don't be thuggin' for nothin' own somethin'

Do it for ya kids and ya mama, save the drama, young nigga, hold on

We gotta hold on (Hold on)

See you must be strong (So strong)

Against thug happiness (Gotsta hold on)

You can go wrong (I been trapped for so long)

For my homies in the hood (Gotsta hold on)

What will you do? (I been trapped or so long)

Which life will you choose? (Gotsta hold on)

(I been trapped for so long)

Naw, it ain't no time or no suicidal shit nigga

While you still thinkin' you a thug

You might as well go head and suffer

'Cause that's what we doin'

That's what it's about, what you forgot?
