I'm a Thug
Trick Daddy Lyrics

Funk, hit me up with some of that thug shit
Asking for a certain type of music to be played

Yeah, just like that, hit 'em in the chest with it
Expressing approval of the music's hard-hitting style

One time, one time again in the head
Requesting the music to continue to be played

For Buddy Roe y'all, check it out
Dedicating the music to a specific person

I don't know
Uncertainty about the future

What this world's gonna bring
Wondering about what the future holds

But I know one thing
Assurance in the midst of uncertainty

That this is the life for me
Happy with their current lifestyle

Baby, 'cause I'm a thug
Identifying as a thug

All day, every day
Being a thug is a consistent part of their identity

Wouldn't change for the world
Not interested in altering their identity as a thug

Uh-uh, 'cause I'm a thug
Reiterating their identity as a thug

That's right you heard
Affirming the truth of their identity

Could it be my baggy jeans or my gold teeth
Suggesting that their appearance sets them apart from others

That make me different from ya'll
Their appearance sets them apart from others

Ain't trippin', dog, but listen, dog
Acknowledging that others may not understand

I was raised a little different, dog
Their upbringing led them to identify as a thug

Just doin' my thang, usin' my ghetto slang
Being themselves and using their own language

And I represent thug shit
Their actions and identity align with thug culture

Niggas who I roll with, watch them niggas they gon' love this (they gon' love this)
Expecting their peers to enjoy and understand their music and lifestyle

Niggas who out on bond, on the run and got ten years on parole
Associating with individuals who have legal troubles

Since you can't say it dog, I'ma say it for y'all
Speaking for those who can't speak for themselves

Motherfuck the po-pos (uh-huh)
Disrespecting police officers

Fuck the judge and CEOs, fuck the DA and POs
Disrespecting those in positions of power

Fuck the family of the victim, witness
Disrespecting those who may be involved in the legal system

And snitchin' ass hoes, nigga
Critiquing those who cooperate with law enforcement

See I'm so tight, niggas be like
Proud of themself and their lifestyle

That nigga got so many hoes (uh-huh)
Claiming to be popular with women

And I know he got clout, look at his mouth
Arguing that their appearance indicates power and influence

Niggas be tellin' they hoes
Others are talking about them

To set 'em up with that nigga
Encouraging women to pursue them romantically

Bitch, I've been watchin' you watchin' him
A confrontation with a woman who has been eyeing them

You must want to fuck this nigga (that's right)
Assuming that the woman is interested in them sexually

My name alone been known to break up happy homes (uh-huh)
Aware of their reputation for disrupting relationships

No disrespect, dog
Beginning a potentially rude comment with an apology

But you ain't had no business even answerin' her phone (hello? Who is this?)
Confronting someone for answering a partner's phone call

If your ass was home then me and her could've been gettin' it on (hold on)
Suggesting that they could have been cheating with the partner if they were not at home

And you couldn't have been hittin' her right
Assuming that the partner is not fulfilling the sexual needs of the woman they are interested in

'Cause ever since the night she been hittin' the phone
Claiming that the woman is showing an interest in them

She want a thug
Believing that the woman is attracted to them because of their thug identity

Since y'all niggas want to smoke the blunts, tote guns
Addressing a group of people who are interested in drug use and firearms

I'ma show you how to thug it, dog
Offering to teach them how to act like a thug

Just give me half a pill and some Zinfandel
Asking for drugs and alcohol

And I'm like, "Fuck it, dog"
Not caring about the consequences of drug use

As long as my ecstasy got the best of me
Acknowledging the strong effect of the drug ecstasy on them

And none of you niggas ain't stressin' me
Not feeling worried about being judged by others

I got one request in this bitch
Asking for one thing

And you can have the rest of this shit
Offering everything else to another person

If a nigga drop some shit, it's whack as hell
Disapproving of other people's music

And don't make no damn sense
Believing that the music is nonsensical

Take it back, talk about it and tell your dog don't even buy that shit
Encouraging others to dislike and avoid the music

And I don't care who he is or where he from
Not interested in who created the disliked music

I represent thug shit
Proudly identifying as a thug

And you ain't gotta give me my props or nominate me
Not needing or expecting recognition or awards

'Cause, damn it, I love this
Loving thug culture and lifestyle
