Gangsters and thugs 
Criminals and hoods 
Some of my friends sell records, some of my friends sell [bad word] 
{x2}

You stand by me 
I stand by you 
If there is a fight I'm the one [bad word] to 
Good and bad, times we've been through 
You got my back and I got yours too 
All of my life you are in my crew 
I'd do anything for you 
Beat someone black and blue 
Black and blue I would do it for you

Try to tell'em leave us alone 
Still riding with them fellas down that unknown road 
There ain't no telling, I told'em before 
Wouldn't listen
No more [bad word] 
Leave 'em all on the floor 
I know 
This labels money
they take 'till it hurts 
That's why I still got that nina, and I still got that work 
Tomorrow ain't promised 
I'll smoke it today 
the zone [bad word] you five 
And I'll be on my way

Gangsters and thugs

Some of my friends sell records, some of my friends sell [bad word] 

It's official, I'm destined to fail 
And I ain't trying to catch no case 
I got no money for bail 
I'm hurting, up in the E.R. before New Year's Eve 
Said there's nothing we can do so we suggest that you leave 
30G's, no insurance, they don't give a [bad word] 
Back to breaking out the scale, break it down into grams
They say you can't win for losing, I swear it's the [bad word] Same [bad word]  different day, man I swear what's the use

It got us paid with good intentions 
I got dirty in two processions 
I make a living ain't got no pension 
For transcriptions for my life on tension 
The world is mine, no limit I can do it 
Every drama in life I've been through it 
Even if I had it good and I blew it
Regret nothing I move on and say **** it
