[Lil Wayne]
Squad up, squad up, fuck that nigga at the do`
Squad up, squad up, fuck that nigga at the back
Squad up, squad up, fuck y'all

[Lil Wayne]
Listen
Now when we slide up in the club, we come in and do things
About every car that you name, on twenty-two things
We likely to have a few drinks, beat up a few lanes
Spitting game at a cute thing, make her get a crew brain
All the Heineken's in mo' if it ain't dro we don't want it
Cut my song on homie, yeah, that squad shit we own it
Droopy high come see the future, we livin' for the moment
Whole sucker on corners, the dance floor up pistols on it
And everybody know you fuck up, we killin' ya
The whole club familiar with my familia
Chicken heads Boriquas goin' follow where I go
I ain't got nothing for them but a dick and a taco skat
And everybody know right where the gat me when they dap
Fuck up I'll put yo eyes right when you lap me
And I ain't come to sign shit, unless it's a bar tappin'
I ain't taking no pictures unless I`m palming an ass
Where the fuck y'all?

[Chorus: Mack 10]
Let the thugs in the club, show us love
Show us love, let the thugs in the club

I got a Bentley, Beamer, Benz, Lex
Got a bullet proof Hummer for just creepin' on sess
I got a roley, matter fact bout three or four
Got a couple of neck pieces that I wear at the show
Niggas know all the trouble that come with me
Niggas know it ain't the bluffet that come from me

Yeah I'm happy and what cause I got a few mill
Don't thank I won't steal, wrap the K and kill
Don't thank I won't say-uh a bird and crush the pills

[Chorus]

[Mack 10]
Yo, yo

And like a sack of dope rocks, my nuts be hangin'

And I'm in already, so my colors is flamin'
It's for the project bitches who be backin' it up
And all the hardcore hustlers that be stackin' it up
And no matter where you from, represent yo city
If you a ghetto get crunk, if you's a Diddy get chicky
Get yo walk on, rib-riders if you true blue
Get yo bang on, and throw yo hood up, die move
While I buy the whole bar cause you no one know
I got a spotter and a front and a rag top fo'
I keep it ghetto, gutter, gangsta like a West Coast G
The homies trust the dopeman so we got in free
Like a stampede rust through and or we sell
Was let a stoo' bitch and get shot in the head
Ba, ba, ba, ba!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Lil B's song Thug is a combination of verses from various rappers including Lil Wayne, B.G., and Mack 10. They all talk about their aggressive and tough nature and their love for "thuggin'" which involves violence, drugs, and criminal activities. Lil Wayne starts the song by describing how he and his squad come to the club to do things, drink, and pick up girls. He also brags about how they own the club and everyone is familiar with his "familia." B.G. talks about his love for gun violence, and his wealth, and shows how he's ready to do anything to protect it. Lastly, Mack 10 emphasizes his toughness by mentioning his affiliation with Inglewood and Q.S. and how he's "slangin' and bangin'" and is invited to club shows as love.


The song is a prime example of Gangsta rap, which is a subgenre of Hip Hop that presents gang life as a form of rebellion against oppression, through its aggressive lyrics and beats. The concept of thuggin' portrayed in the song tells the listener to be proud of their origins, community, culture, and survive the harsh realities of urban life. It also highlights how a culture of violence, pride, and aggression can coexist with love and loyalty for one's community.
