[Intro]

You gon' save that?

(Na, na, na, na, na)

(Na, na, na, na, na, yeah)


[Chorus]

Thug niggas don't live that long (Thug niggas don't live that long)

Before they grown, they'll be dead and gone

But I'll be waitin' till they come back home (I'll be waitin' for you)

So niggas die for this is somethin' even lost their lives for this


[Verse 1]

I wanna buy me a benz but I'm fifty-grand short

I got to get this cheese without a nigga gettin' caught

Two freaks in the jungle now, I'm takin' care of mama now

My lil' dog caught a case (I got to bail him out)

I got you bobbin' to this real shit, so reason why a nigga kill shit

That's how it is, shit

See papa was a rolling stone

He left mama alone, she raised us on her own

Them bitches curious, why I'm so motherfuckin' serious

Hard times got me pumped up and furious

I want y'all to free all my dawgs

Before I get my guns and start killin' your hoes

Call me the butcher man, I take my beef straight to the man

I put it so only thug niggas understand

Keep bitches out your game get paid

Just remember and respect what the old girl said (Thug niggas don't live that long)


[Chorus]

(Thug niggas don't live that long) Before they grown, they'll be dead and gone

But I'll be waitin' till they come back home

(I'll be waitin' for you, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo) So niggas die for this is somethin' even lost their lives for this

Thug niggas don't live that long (Thug niggas don't live that long)

Before they grown, they'll be dead and gone

But I'll be waitin' till they come back home

So niggas die for this is somethin' even lost their lives for this


[Verse 2]

I catch some niggas on the other side

'Cause once day I gotta take a ride

And let them know I still represent the Southside

No more shoppin' at the flea I'm rollin' D's and Lo's

I'm gettin' head, feelin' bread from these sleezy hoes

And can't nann bitch forget that nigga Hollywood

Big ends steerin' wheel made of wood

I heard it was four niggas, three shits, one hoe nigga, I'm out the pen with you Howdy folk

Nigga, who gon' die next, who mama gon' cry next

Who sister givin' away the black dress

That's how we livin' though, dead and gone before he twenty-four

Or in jail, but y'all don't hear me though

As I continue with this thug shit, with all this blood and shit

But all us thug niggas love this

For the love of greed and riches, but money don't need no bitches

So I'm killin' all snitches


[Chorus]

Thug niggas don't live that long (Thug niggas don't live that long)

Before they grown, they'll be dead and gone

But I'll be waitin' till they come back home

(I'll be waitin' for you, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo) So niggas die for this is somethin' even lost their lives for this

Thug niggas don't live that long (Thug niggas don't live that long)

Before they grown, they'll be dead and gone

But I'll be waitin' till they come back home

So niggas die for this is somethin' even lost their lives for this


[Bridge]

I'm doin' this one for the thugs (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

And the niggas on the corner sellin' drugs for the thugs

Yes sir, for the thugs (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

And the niggas on the corner sellin' drugs for the thugs

Yes sir, for the thugs (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

And the niggas on the corner sellin' drugs for the thugs

Yes sir, for the thugs (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

And the niggas on the corner sellin' drugs


[Verse 3]

If I was a hundred dollar bill, I'd make you niggas kill for me

Go to prison do about a hundred years for me

Get a gat to go jack rob and steel for me

Just to pay a bitch bills with me

I'm dissin' every nigga who got me fuckin'

A bitch better fuck for pregnant nuts

You see it be them same niggas, 'cause coochie ass lame niggas (Same niggas, lame niggas)

(Last time) Learn some motherfuckin' thangs nigga

Now picture me as a killer (Killer)

Young crack dope dealer (Dope dealer)

I'm doin' this one for my niggas (I'm doin' this one for my niggas)

Who ride for this, who even lost they life for this

And them niggas who survivin' this


[Chorus]

They don't live that long (Thug niggas don't live that long)

Before they grown, they'll be dead and gone

But I'll be waitin' till they come back home (I'll be waitin' for you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

So niggas die for this is somethin' even lost their lives for this

They don't live that long (Thug niggas don't live that long)

Before they grown, they'll be dead and gone

But I'll be waitin' till they come back home

So niggas die for this is somethin' even lost their lives for this

Thug niggas don't live that long (Thug niggas don't live that long)

(I'll be waitin' for you, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

(Thug niggas don't live that long)
