Lifestyles of a Thug

I grew up in magnolia that is my fucking hood
I begged for quarters as a youngster praying that I would
Come up to be good, not just drugged into a thug
I'm slangin' that crack, a criminal life I never dreamed of
My parents they're smoking crack, my momma abandoned me
As a youngster the lifestyle of a thug slangin' crack you see
I got nowhere up on this track, the white man won't hire me
Got to slang crack and rob to make that cheese and survive G
Surviving this shit, thats why I'm all about making cheese
I'm down with that click cuz whatever, whatever, stacking Gs
I pray to the lord, And ask ??????? ???????
???? with niggas that showing no love to me
I think to myself,yeah, I know that I'm wrong mane, as I'm slangin' that crack on the track and packing that tone mane
It ain't no thing that I'm a thug at seventeen
Another young nigga trying to come up trying to have things

[Chorus]
I grew up in Magnolia that is my fucking hood
I grew up in Magnolia that is my fucking hood
You're living the fucking lifestyle of a thug where I grew up mane
I grew up in Magnolia that is my fucking hood
You're living the fucking lifestyle of a thug where I grew up mane

I'm living the lifestyle of a thug
I'm trying to keep from slangin' them drugs
My family ain't shit, never gonna be about shit but my bro shows me much love
The food we keep on the table my grandmother provides me
So I thank the man above for helping me to survive see
Thinking back in the years when I was broke hustling was my daily thing
??????, shooting dice at an early age, trying to stay out the game mane
You know it's a trip how your life can just flip the script
Coming straight from the bottom tying to make it to the top, hook a ride then we'll stash my grip
See, my brother and me ain't got shit to we hit our knees
Giving praise to the lord, I'm serving jesus hoping that he will see, us, we struggle in society knowing damn well we ain't doing right
So if you're life is like mine and you know ?? ?? ??? ?? and help make it right

[Chorus]

Seventeen years ago a killer was born hoe
Never knowing what to do so I proceed to
Sell crack cocaine, and smoke on them bliz-unts mane
Living in da crime click is nothing but anna bitch
Robbin', mobbin', killin', stealin' Magnolia is full of business
Thug life every night just hanging and shooting dice
My momma didn't have a job so a nigga had to rob
With two cases in my past just trying to get some cash
Living with no cheese, no porkchops, or no greens
A nigga was ??? out and that what I'm talking about
A nigga is on the street with a Glock and nothing to eat
So I had to rob and mob and stangin' was my job
The lifestyle of a thug and thats what I'm telling you
So if you ever get fucked up do what you've got to do

[Chorus]
