[Trick Daddy]
Until the day a nigga D-I-E-
I'll be forever thuggin' baby
Ever since I fucking
These bitches loved it baby

Still got the chron son
I used to be drug dealer
X-men, Ex-con, forever thug nigga
Around here we smoke a bitch I still book 'em heavy

'Cause I bought that Benz,(uh-huh)
Damn me I sold my Chevy
I love my [unknown] , I talk to 'em everyday
I ride around 'em cool, I walk be 'em yesterday

I'm from the southwest, where niggas drive chevys at
Come through with that bullshit,
My niggas don't gonna handle dat
I fuck with no bustas, my game is straight must-a

So if you fuckin with us
We'll hit you up with K Cutters
I feels no niggas
But I pitch no hittas

The curve balls at they ass
They gonna watch 'em go get em
I'm now the coo guy up the street up the block from em'
I used to up my glocks on em, then take they blocks from em'

Nigga this is thug shit, that's all I represent
You don't believe me, ask them niggas I bets they love this
Nigga this is thug shit, that's all I represent
You don't believe me, ask them niggas I bets they love this

[Chorus: x 2]

When my niggaz and bitches
Go from rags to riches
It'll be thug life and why'all still with me
When my niggaz and bitches
Go from rags to riches
It'll be thug life again, so ride wit me

[Tre-6]

Hit your hoes, bend your doors, smoke your dough

For sho', you know dat cheddar make it betta
And its thug life forever, and we all in dis togetha

Nigga dem rags to riches
Wit your boy see-O money, marching double-D so bitch don't go

[Trick Daddy]
So nigga rolls, so every motha fucka get down the floors
Get away from all your doors and windows
Cause a nigga done passed wit' a .44
And I'm'a let it go, like --boom--
Betta break ya-self, I can't take myself
But killa, nigga, won't have to make myself
And i'll come to ya wake myself
I won't send no dogs, no friends, no loot,
No fool, no car, no clothes, no suit
Just a note that say, he.. through
Now, now thanks to you,
Me and tre gotta make up for these times lost
We bout' that cash, we on that ass
So let them 9's off

[Chorus]

[Trick Daddy]
So mutha-fucking sicka, stupid hoes and fuck niggas

And I'm just chillin bustas, she fought for me to keep em
So I just peep em', lay back and I book my reefa

I got the choppers that i'll bring down and won't miss ya
You want a nigga that gives a fuck about a bitch
Unless you sucking the fucking ho and tryin' to get rich

Who can shoot a nigga best
