Thuggin’
Freddie Gibbs Lyrics

Niggas be like "Fred, you ain't never lied"
People often express their agreement with me.

Fuck the rap shit my gangsta been solidified
I don't care about fame; my reputation as a gangster is secure.

Still do my business on the side
I continue to engage in illegal activities.

Bitch if you polices, then pay me no nevermind
If you're a cop, don't bother me.

I was thuggin' - Black and red laces in my number threes
I was engaging in gang activity whilst wearing black and red laces on my shoes.

Take a pull up off the wood and let that motherfucka breathe
Take a drag from the blunt/joint and let the smoke disperse.

Sit outside a busta crib and let that motherfucka leave
Wait outside someone's house and ambush them when they leave.

Walk his ass back in and put him on his motherfuckin' knees
Force him back inside at gunpoint and demand he kneel.

Thuggin' - Never takin' no for an answer
I'm not one to take no as my final answer.

Might just take a loss but bitch I'd rather take my chances
I'm willing to take risks and accept failure over playing it safe.

This liquor got me lurkin' where you live at in the night time
I'm drunk and stalking your house at night.

59 fifty to the left, but I'm in my right mind
My hat is tilted to the left, but I'm still thinking clearly.

Pants gon' be saggin' til I'm 40
I'm going to continue wearing my pants low on my hips until I'm 40.

Still lyrically sharper than any short bus shawty
I have better rhyming skills than anyone with a learning disability.

Phonies ain't gon' throw me in this Minstrel Show
Fake people can't drag me down with their degrading stereotypes.

These labels see how far up in they mouth my dick can go
Record labels are very interested in me and will do anything to sign me.

So go'n and, choke on this meat, throw my song on repeat
You can try to compete with me, but ultimately you'll fail and listen to my music instead.

Might move away one day but I'm always gonna belong to the streets
I might move at some point, but I'll always identify with the gangster lifestyle.

And it feels so good, and it feels so right yeah
I'm proud of my criminal actions and they give me a sense of satisfaction.

Cause motherfucka I'm thuggin'
I'm engaging in illegal activities and I'm not ashamed of it.

Selling you the science of the street rap
I'm teaching you about the ins and outs of the rap game.

Every motherfuckin' show I do is off the meat rack
Every concert I perform is top notch and amazing.

I done been to jail and did my best not to repeat that
I've been to jail before and am trying to avoid going back.

I'm tryin to feed my family, give a fuck about your feedback
I'm doing what I need to do to provide for my family, I don't care about others' opinions.

Critically acclaimed, but that shit don't mean a thing
Although I have received critical praise, it doesn't really matter to me.

When you rocking mics and still in microwaves cooking 'caine
Even though I've made it in the music industry, I'm still involved in drug dealing.

Never trippin' on a dame, I'm too cold for you broke hoes
I don't care about women who can't provide for me; I'm too tough for them.

Don't let the knob hit your booty when the door close, bitch
Don't let the door hit you on the way out, woman.

She let me hit it cause I'm thuggin'
She slept with me because of my gangster status.

Squares need not apply, I'm so fly I might fuck her cousin
If you're not involved in the gangster lifestyle, I'm not interested in you; I'm so cool I might sleep with her cousin.

Swiftly 'bout to stick a sweet dick in your sweetheart
I'm about to have sex with someone else's girlfriend.

Then get some groceries off my geeker EBT card
Then purchase groceries using a government-issued EBT card.

Why the Feds worried 'bout me clocking on this corner
Why are the federal agents concerned with my drug-dealing activities on this street corner?

When there's politicians out here getting popped in Arizona
When politicians are being arrested in Arizona, my drug-dealing business should be the least of their concerns.

Bitch I'm thuggin'
I'm a gangster and proud of it.

"We're not against rap, but we're against those thugs"
People try to separate rap music from gangster culture.

Can't be legit when every nigga in your click sold drugs
It's impossible to be law-abiding when everyone in your group is involved in drug dealing.

Predicate felons in my faculty, real killers can vouch for me
The people in my group are all convicted felons, and actual murderers can confirm that I'm a tough guy.

Teach a kid at the crib or your children might cop an ounce from me
If you don't educate your children about the dangers of drug use, they may end up buying drugs from me.

And smoke out in the Chevy with us, cause in the past
Let's smoke weed together in the car, like we used to do.

My low class black ass would serve my own fucking family members
I used to sell drugs even to people in my own family.

I hate to say it, ain't no need to be discreet
I'm not afraid to speak my mind on this topic.

If she don't cop from me, she get it from a nigga up the street
If she doesn't buy drugs from me, she'll just buy them from someone else.

Cause he thuggin'
Because that person is a gangster.

And yo she'd probably suck his dick for it
She would probably have sex with him in exchange for drugs.

She turn't out so it ain't shit to turn a trick for it
She's already a prostitute, so it's nothing to sell herself for drugs.

My uncle last bitch put him on the glass dick
My uncle's last girlfriend introduced him to crack cocaine.

Tried to rob a man to feed his habit, he got blasted
He attempted to steal from someone to support his drug addiction and was killed as a result.

I live on borrowed time, my expiration date I passed it
I've been lucky to survive this long, but I know I can't keep pushing my luck forever.

So lock me up forever, but this shit is everlasting
Even if I go to jail, my gangster reputation will continue to exist.

Bitch
A derogatory term used to address someone (usually a woman) with contempt.
