thug life lyrics – rod wave

come and take a walk in my shoes if you can
prolly won’t stand a chance
i’m from the bottom it turn boys into men
up before the sunrise catch me if you can
know i’m with the gang wrong or right

willing to pay with my life so
if i don’t make it home tonight
bury me a gangsta, he’s just a thug like me
he’s just a thug like me
he’s just a thug like me

he’s just a thug like his baby
the bottom made me crazy
daddy gone and momma couldn’t save me
so hard times made me
i done spinned the block in my mercedes
reminiscing on the times we didn’t have shit

even was i broke i knew that
i wasn’t average, mixed with passion
aint not recipe, this thug life shit
might be the death of me
and i say that selfishly,
because i’m grown now, kids of my own
momma hold on now your baby boy strong now

money getting long now
gotta a reason to live
they don’t know the route
that we took to get here
cause where i come from
they ain’t chasing a dream
where i come from it
ain’t safe to believe

where i come from it’s a race to 18
they jump straight off the porch
and land straight in the streets, goddamn
heard you keep the glizzy
in your pants goddamn
i heard you have plans
to be the man goddamn
i won’t let a n**** get a chance
thug life bitch until the end

come and take a walk
in my shoes if you can
prolly won’t stand a chance
i’m from the bottom
it turn boys into men
up before the sunrise
catch me if you can
know i’m with the gang
wrong or right

willing to pay with my life so
if i don’t make it home tonight
bury me a gangsta
he’s just a thug like me
he’s just a thug like me
he’s just a thug like me
