You A Thug N***a )
Memphis Bleek Lyrics

Huh?
Memphis Bleek starts with a questioning sound to grab attention of listeners.

Yeah
He replies affirmatively to his own question, indicating that he's ready to proceed.

M-e-m-p-h-i-s Bleek
He introduces himself by spelling out his name, adding a sense of style and attitude to his persona.

Why'all punk ass niggaz
He addresses a group of people, calling them weak and cowardly.

Check it out yo
He urges listeners to pay attention and listen to what he's about to say.

[Chorus:] Is you a thug nigga? Then bust a slug nigga It's no love nigga We true thug niggaz Streets is mine, One nine double nine, we shine Niggaz stack one's act and and catch one You a thug nigga? Then bust a slug nigga It's no love nigga We true thug niggaz Streets is mine, One nine double nine, we shine Niggaz stack one's act and and catch one
The chorus repeats the phrase 'is you a thug nigga?' several times, emphasizing the question and the violent options associated with the answer. The streets are a hostile environment where only the tough survive, and violence is always present.

Yo check it
He starts a new verse, signaling that he has more to say and that the tone might change.

Shit, I'm here now, where it's at?
He proudly announces his arrival and challenges others to test him.

I'm there now, when I walk through the club The real have stare-downs
He's confident and experienced enough to handle any situation in the club, where people respect him and are intimidated by his presence.

And I walk by, lil nigga play the short guy
He dismisses any attempt to confront him, especially by someone smaller and weaker than him.

Pockets is grown, when I cock it, it's on
He's wealthy and powerful, and he's not afraid to use force to protect his interests.

You believe that, all the chickenz be where the treez at Car hopping bitches be where the V's at
He implies that women are attracted to his money and fame, and that he can easily obtain their company and services.

I plot to get mo, stacks and a crib Sometimes I hear that Ele hold a gat in the crib
He's constantly thinking about how to increase his wealth and status, and he's aware of the danger and violence that surround him even in his own home.

Can't relax in the crib Niggaz did max bids Niggaz clap shit, ain't no acting in this
He can't let his guard down even in his own home, because he knows that other people have gone to prison or died because of their involvement in criminal activities.

You a playa? Well nigga who you working for? 'Cause who coachin' that team that you be otin' for?
He challenges other men who claim to be players, asking who's really in charge of their life and decisions.

When I ride by, I know you looking to spray me But I got a ghetto bird that go half on a three-eighty
He's aware that some people might want to harm him or steal from him, but he's prepared to defend himself and his property with a weapon.

It's the game of life, you it, so play it right Bitches like you, M-e-m-p-h Bleek, yeah right
He acknowledges that life is a competition where only the strongest and smartest survive, and he belittles women who try to use him or impress him with their looks or words.
