[bad word]  2Pac]
Say he wanna be
Shorties gonna be a thug

Said he wanna be
One day he's gonna be
Said he's wanna be
Shorties gonna be's a thug (3x)

[Verse One]
Was a nice middle class [bad word] But no one knew, the evil he'd do, when he got a little bigger
Get off the final blaze, while puffing on a Newport
Plotting on a another way to catch a case
Was only sixteen, yet convicted as a felon
With a bunch of old niggas, but you the only one ain't telling
I tell you it's a cold world, stay in school
You tell me its a man's world, play [bad word] And fade fools, and [bad word] until we major
Blaze up, getting with hos through my pager
Was raised [bad word] to money making tactics
It's getting drastic, niggas got automatics
My fingers on the trigger, tell the Lord
To make way for another straight thug [bad word] I'm sitting getting buzzed, looking for some love
From the homies, cause shorty wanna be a thug
 [bad word] 

[Verse Two]
Straight from the Hall to the Penn
An adolescent [bad word] standing way higher than six feet ten
He carried weight like a Mack [bad word] Gonna bust on some player haters, if the [bad word] act tough
Then thats when the lethal weapon with the razor
This little [bad word] smoking weed and getting blazed up
No one could figure, when the guns blast pull the trigger
Could take the life of a young [bad word]  gun's bigger
No mother and father, you see, the niggas all alone
Old timers my role model, the war zone
Released with this game until its a part of me
My heart don't beat no fear and it ain't hard to see
The future is looking dim
I'm trying to make a profit out of living in this sin
I'm in the dark getting buzzed, looking for some love
Out with the homies, cause shorty wanna be a thug
 [bad word] 

[Outro: 2Pac]
Shorty gonna be a thug
(You little bad [bad word] [bad word] 
To the young niggas
Gotta stay sharp [bad word] (Play your part)
You got plenty of time
(You bad [bad word] 
You only get three mistakes, then thats life, big baby
(Niggas crazy)
Watch the signs [bad word]  you ain't but sixteen [bad word] 
Sixteen?!
That's a bad [bad word]
