  • [ verse 1 ]
  • Everybody in the ghetto tell me...
  • Is it a lie that i must be a ruffneck
  • And wear a frown just to be down?
  • I kinda don't agree with bein (tough)
  • But you gotta be (rough)
  • It's either you claimin your hood, or you're not a gee
  • Forget about respect, i refuse to be the next guy
  • Fitted for a casket, either with it, or get blasted
  • I choose to gangbang, they give me a chrome-plated trigger
  • Say, "if you got any heart, go rob that mini-mart, nigga"
  • Now look what i done did, damn, i had to be the big man
  • They're lookin at me shifty, better shut up 'fore i get slammed
  • Man, i'm not a thief, good grief, and i don't wanna act hard
  • But then they said if i didn't do it, they was gonna gat, far
  • As i could see (i was gonna be)
  • The next new member of the crew, cause it's 8 of them and 1 of me
  • I don't wanna do it, but i will
  • Cause i still want folks to think that i'm hard and tough
  • Cause you gotta be (rough)
  • Cause you gotta be (tough)
  • Cause you gotta be (rough)
  • (i used to be a stick-up kid)
  • [ verse 2 ]
  • Well, it's the niggeroe, again, right back in where i left off
  • Still tryin to make a decision, i might go to prison if i don't step off
  • But if i don't rob this store, then i'm not sure
  • If i'm gonna be considered as a gee
  • And you gotta be (rough)
  • Cuffs are temporary, homies are for life
  • So i grab the deuce-deuce and go inside
  • I decide to prove in the mini-mart, "don't nobody move
  • Start fillin up the paper sack with loot, or i might shoot"
  • But things didn't go as planned, cause this man had his own gun
  • We're standin toe to toe, eye to eye, so i figured why not
  • Pull the trigger? put this nigga on the ground
  • It'll show that i had poise, then my boy'll know i'm down
  • But i didn't do it quick enough, or he thought of it first
  • Cause he blasted to the chest, and now i'm restin yellin, "nurse!"
  • And holdin on to life, or at least tryin to hold on
  • In a jailward wearin cuffs
  • Cause i had to be (rough)
  • Cause you gotta be (tough)
  • Cause you gotta be (rough)
  • (i used to be a stick-up kid)
  • And everybody, everybody gotta be rough, y'all
  • (i used to be a stick-up kid)
  • And everybody, everybody gotta be tough, y'all
  • (i used to be a stick-up kid)
  • [ verse 3 ]
  • Well, that's the end of my tale, but before we know
  • Fools'll just forget what i said, and the story go
  • On and on, until you're up to no good
  • And back throwin up your hood
  • And still doin what you shouldn't
  • Niggeroes, come together, cause divided we fall
  • So stall that gang shit, stand up
  • Quit standin in handcuffs
  • Really hard's when you got loot
  • And you ain't gotta shoot
  • Damn man, enough is enough
  • So why you gotta be (rough)
  • Cause you gotta be (tough)
  • Cause you gotta be (rough)
  • (i used to be a stick-up kid)
