[Intro: 2Pac]
The only way I've, I've been practicing my whole life, to live my life
Is to be responsible for what I do
I don't know how to be responsible for what every Black male did, I don't know
Yes, I am gonna say that I'm a thug, that's because I came from the gutter and I'm still here
[Verse 1: Glasses Malone]
I'm a motherfuckin' thug (Thug)
I hate payin' taxes (Just hate it)
I'm tryna fuck a couple actresses (Yeah)
If I don't got it, I'ma make it (I'ma make it)
Still don't got it, I'ma take it (Run that shit)
Take your shit, that's what I won't do (Won't do)
Out here doin' what I want to (Want to)
Nigga, you do what you can (What you can)
That's the difference, I'm a motherfuckin' man (I'm a man, nigga)
And as a man I don't take that (Ha)
I don't do Versace, that's that gay shit (Ha)
Yeah, I said it, I'm a thug (I'm a thug, nigga)
Guess I need a motherfuckin' hug (Yeah)
Well, dig my mama up and tell her give me one (Give me one)
Lot of niggas say they real, I'm the realest one (I'm the realest)
This exactly how I'm feelin', bruh (What?)
Ain't no chillin', bruh (What?)
[Chorus: Glasses Malone]
I'm a **** thug
I'm a motherfuckin' thug
I'm a motherfuckin' thug
I'm a motherfuckin' thug
I'm a motherfuckin' thug
[Verse 2: Glasses Malone]
It's all about the Benjamins (Cha-ching)
Nigga, fuck George Zimmerman (Fuck him)
How it's pistol versus hand? (How?)
Take your whoopin' like a motherfuckin' man (Pussy)
Damn, how hard can a kid hit?
And why them local rappers ain't did shit? (Did shit)
Lil Wayne said, "Fuck the Heat"
Same local rapper niggas wanted beef (Fun)
Brother versus brother
No hesitation when you face the same color (None)
Sayin', what the fuck you niggas stand for?
Guess the South still the South (Still), Jim Crow
Still, I'm shootin' in the gym
Thinkin' back, shit, I couldn't hit the rim (Hit the rim)
Nigga, you should see my game now (Look)
If it's a fully, nigga, aim down (Grr-at)
Let the gun work (Gun work)
Super clean, but I done dirt (Done dirt)
Talked the shit until my tongue hurt (Tongue hurt)
And I don't run from skirmishes (Nah), nigga
[Chorus: Glasses Malone]
I'm a motherfuckin' thug
I'm a motherfuckin' thug
I'm a motherfuckin' thug
I'm a motherfuckin' thug
I'm a motherfuckin' thug
[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]
Sometimes I look in the mirror and ask myself what I'm scared of
How dare the media portray me this way, I can hear the
Crowd screamin', the weirdest of chants, they all in my ear-uh
Artist of era, role model, I can't
It's like I'm a parrot, apparently, I'm markin' the dance
I seen done with the devil, such a ghetto romance
How many niggas fall victim, looking at you trapped in the system?
Mentally, they kept you in prison, and you won't get out, no one visit
Open up your mouth, no one listen, you in denial, nigga
I'm in denial with you, I dial dead homies numbers off this liquor
Time and time again, I find myself inside the cerebellum
Of several felons, Orion's belt couldn't live in my world
I seen tigers, lions let loose and spooked, I'm next door to Earl
I guess I rely on Jesús to save us before I refer
The madness, my neighbors witness ski masks
The masses don't know
I'm packin' this four and harassin' your ho
Antagonizin' the business you love the most
See, the difference to my approach is a forty ounce at the store
If the forty bounce, then ya know
I never learned, I'm hard-headed
The corporate world don't like it, but I said it
[Chorus: Glasses Malone, Kendrick Lamar, Glasses Malone & Kendrick Lamar]
I'm a motherfuckin' thug (Look in my eyes, what do you see?)
God Orion lives in me (I'm a motherfuckin' thug)
I'm a motherfuckin' thug
Look in my eyes, what do you see?
God Orion lives in me (I'm a motherfuckin' thug)
Oh, oh, I'm a motherfuckin' thug (Thug)
[Outro: Kendrick Lamar & Glasses Malone]
All I ever was
Look around, all I ever done (I'm a motherfuckin' thug)
Thug, thug, all I ever was
Look around, all I ever done (I'm a motherfuckin' thug)
Thug, thug, all I ever was
Look around, all I ever done (I'm a motherfuckin' thug)
Thug, thug, all I ever was
Look around
I'm a motherfuckin' thug
