Song title: 2 Pac - When Thugz Cry

Edit By: 216.73.216.214

Intro:

When thugz cry
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray to lord my guns to keep
If I die before I wake
I pray to lord my soul to take
Got us dying
When thugz cry
Times is hard

Verse one:

Born thuggin and lovin
The way I came up, big money clutchin
Bustin while evadin cocaine bust
My pos rushin
To my cushin into insanity
They shot at my cousin now we bustin at they whole family
These cowards wanna see me burried, I aint worried
I got a line on the d.a. cause Im fuckin the secretary
I black out, start cussin, bust em, and touch em all
They panicin bitches duckin, I rush em, and fuck em all
Probably be an old man before I understand
Why I had to live my life with pistols close in hand
Kidnapped my homie sister cut her face up bad
They even raped her so we blazed they pad
Automatic shots rang out, on every block
They puttin hits on politicians even cops
I aint lyin, they got me sleepin with my infrared beams
And in my dreams I hear muthafuckas screamin
What is the meanin?
When thugz cry

Chorus:

Oh why
Should you send your child off to die
In the streets of chalk
When they die
Let the rocks cry out
When thugz cry
Dear god
(when thugz cry)
Oh why
Does it have to be this way ahh
Children of today wont stay by
(when thugz cry)
Let the children hear
When thugz cry
Dear god
Oh why
(ha)

Verse two:

Maybe my addiction to friction got me buggin
Where is the love, never quit my ambitionz to thug
Aint shed a tear since the old school years of elementary
Niggaz I used to love they closed the penitentiary
Still homie keep it real, how does it feel?
To loose your life over somethin that you did as a kid
You all alone no communication, block on the phone
Dont get along with your pops and plus your moms is gone
Where did we go wrong? I put my soul in this song
To help us grow in time but now our minds is gone
We went from brothas and sistas to niggaz and bitches
We went from welfare livin to worldwide riches
But somethin change in this dirty game
Everythin strange, lost all my homies over cocaine, man
See they ask me if I shed a tear, I aint lie
See, you gotta get high or die
Cause even thugz cry

Chorus:

Oh why
Should you send your child off to die
In the streets of chalk
(when thugz cry)
When they die
(we dont shed tears, we shed blood)
Let the rocks cry out
When thugz cry
(do you still wanna be a thug)
Dear god
Oh why
Does it have to be this way ahh
Children of today wont stay by
Let the children hear
When thugz cry
Dear god
Oh why

Verse three:

And all I see are these paraniod bitches, illegal inventions
Bustin muthafuckas with upper cuts, I leave em with dentures
Cause in my criminal mind nobody violates the don
I write your name on a piece of paper, and now your familys gone
Well perpetrate like you could handle my team
So merciless in mind try to take command of your dreams
Leavin muthafuckas drowin in they own blood
Clown and taking pictures
Later, laugh about the punk bitches
That turn snitches
Regulate my area the terror I represent
Make your people disappear, your wonderin where they went
Am I cold, or is it just I sold my soul?
Addicted to the streets
Never find true peace Im told
Come take my body, god
Dont let me suffer any longer
Smoke a pound of marijuana so I know it aint long
Where is the end to all my misery?
Is there a close?
I suppose thats why I murder my foes
When thugz cry

Chorus:

Oh why
Should you send your child off to die
In the streets of chalk
(I shed tattoo tearz for years)
When they die
Let the rocks cry out
(to my dead homeboyz and the prison peace)
When thugz cry
Dear god
Oh why
(yall aint never heard my cries, nigga, what about if you would die)
Does it have to be this way ahh
Children of today wont stay by
Let the children hear
When thugz cry
Dear god

Repeat chorus until fade
