Thuggin
Taylor Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

I been raging, l, life consistent payments
Saw the toll, but still a n***a not paying
Raised by that pavement, Its really amazing
How we turned out, still n***s faded
Separating morals with portals, war with immortals
Still the streets don't know you
They know us though
All that hate stunting yo growth
Shit ain't the same no more
N***s lying under oath
Fallback with a different approach, can't be controlled
Need to start saving my roach
Smoke that shit to the bone
Take flight as I float

Im thuggin in my white vans
This where I stand
Need a couple grand in my hands
Activate my pineal gland
The devil's scam, this is God's plan
But, im thuggin in my white vans

Wu-tang told me to protect my neck
Suga Free told me to before sex get that neck
How you toting guns with so much heat
To much heat when you need that respect
Im willing to die for mine
On a 365 type of grind
A young seven, a real sixteen
Gettin shit done by any means
Raging against the machine
We the people under the sun
Still a dog n****a, fucking on Kathleen
Penny have a good family, knowing she right for me
Rather fuck with LaCienga though
Took a L last week though
Life been on standby, road blocks
They don't know about the block
Jumping fences, avoiding cops
Birds flocking cuz of the gun shots

Im thuggin in my white vans
This where I stand
Need a couple grand in my hands
Activate my pineal gland
The devil's scam, this is God's plan
But, im thuggin in my white vans

See picture this, bad dreams potentially be memories
All this foe incidents don't reminisce
Got me tappin into my innocence
This is the beginning of s***, that I am finishing
Awkwardly staring cuz it don't make sense thats why
I be thuggin , thuggin, thuggin
Thuggin in my white vans
She say I be thuggin in my white tee
late night she call, but she won't like me
Yea its the night freaks




Thuggin in my white vans
Playing dope and big plans

I'm like 8 foot 4, blond hair to the floor
you shorties never thought I dreamed about rapping hardcore
no I ain't got a gun
no I never really been in a club
still live with my parents
but I'm still a thug
I'm so gangsta you can find me baking cookies at night
you out clubbing, but I just made caramel delight
t swift and t pain rappin on the same track
it's a thug story tell me can you handle that
I had a dream last night I had high-top NIkes
I had diamonds in my mouth, and diamonds on my mic
by the time I woke I was singing "I'M ON A BOOOOAAT"
cuz I'm a singer turned rapper
shorty I'm a make ya
straight to the top, yo
shorty I'ma take ya
you can call me T Sweezy now I'm a rap star
hey it's a thug story now tell them who you are
singer turned gangsta
you don't wanna fight me
straight to the top
in my extra small white tee
t swift and t pain all up on the same track
it's a thug story tell now can you get with that
what! what! I knit sweaters yo!
what! what! don't test me [bleep]
hey hold on, hold on I didn't even say anything
WHAT?
I said "yo"
YUP
you guys bleeped me and I didn't even say anything
I didn't even swear
SHE DIDN"T EVEN SWEAR
hello?
Ugh
