Intro: 

When Thugz Cry 
Now I lay me down to sleep 
I pray to Lord my guns to keep 
If I die before I wake 
I pray to Lord my soul to take 
Got us dying 
When Thugz Cry 
Times is hard 


Verse One: 

Born thuggin' and lovin' 
The way I came up, big money clutchin' 
Bustin' while evadin' cocaine bust 
My po's rushin' 
To my cushin' into insanity 
They shot at my cousin now we bustin' at they whole family 
These cowards wanna see me burried, I ain't worried 
I got a line on the D.A. cause I'm fuckin' the secretary 
I black out, start cussin, bust 'em, and touch 'em all 
They panicin' bitches duckin', I rush 'em, and fuck 'em all 
Probably be an old man before I understand 
Why I had to live my life with pistols close in hand 
Kidnapped my homie sister cut her face up bad 
They even raped her so we blazed they pad 
Automatic shots rang out, on every block 
They puttin hits on politicians even cops 
I ain't lyin', they got me sleepin' with my infrared beams 
And in my dreams I hear muthafuckas screamin' 
What is the meanin'? 
When Thugz Cry 


Chorus: 

Oh Why 
Should you send your child off to die 
In the streets of chalk 
When they die 
Let the rocks cry out 
When Thugz Cry 
Dear God 
(When Thugz Cry) 
Oh Why 
Does It Have To Be This Way Ahh 
Children of today won't stay by 
(When Thugz Cry) 
Let the children hear 
When Thugz Cry 
Dear God 
Oh Why 
(Ha) 


Verse Two: 

Maybe my addiction to friction got me buggin' 
Where is the love, never quit my ambitionz to thug 
Ain't shed a tear since the old school years of elementary 
Niggaz I used to love they closed the penitentiary 
Still homie keep it real, how does it feel? 
To loose your life over somethin' that you did as a kid 
You all alone no communication, block on the phone 
Don't get along with your pops and plus your moms is gone 
Where did we go wrong? I put my soul in this song 
To help us grow in time but now our minds is gone 
We went from brothas and sistas to niggaz and bitches 
We went from welfare livin' to worldwide riches 
But somethin' change in this dirty game 
Everythin' strange, lost all my homies over cocaine, Man 
See they ask me if I shed a tear, I ain't lie 
See, you gotta get high or die 
Cause even thugz cry 


Chorus: 

Oh Why 
Should you send your child off to die 
In the streets of chalk 
(When Thugz Cry) 
When they die 
(We don't shed tears, we shed blood) 
Let the rocks cry out 
When Thugz Cry 
(Do you still wanna be a thug) 
Dear God 
Oh Why 
Does It Have To Be This Way Ahh 
Children of today won't stay by 
Let the children hear 
When Thugz Cry 
Dear God 
Oh Why 


Verse Three: 

And all I see are these paraniod bitches, illegal inventions 
Bustin' muthafuckas with upper cuts, I leave 'em with dentures 
Cause in my criminal mind nobody violates the Don 
I write your name on a piece of paper, and now your family's gone 
Well perpetrate like you could handle my team 
So merciless in mind try to take command of your dreams 
Leavin muthafuckas drowin in they own blood 
Clown and taking pictures 
Later, laugh about the punk bitches 
That turn snitches 
Regulate my area the terror I represent 
Make your people disappear, your wonderin' where they went 
Am I cold, or is it just I sold my soul? 
Addicted to the streets 
Never find true peace I'm told 
Come take my body, God 
Don't let me suffer any longer 
Smoke a pound of marijuana so I know it ain't long 
Where is the end to all my misery? 
Is there a close? 
I suppose that's why I murder my foes 
When Thugz Cry 


Chorus: 

Oh Why 
Should you send your child off to die 
In the streets of chalk 
(I Shed Tattoo Tearz For Years) 
When they die 
Let the rocks cry out 
(To My Dead Homeboyz and the prison peace) 
When Thugz Cry 
Dear God 
Oh Why 
(Yall ain't never heard my cries, nigga, what about if you would die) 
Does It Have To Be This Way Ahh 
Children of today won't stay by 
Let the children hear 
When Thugz Cry 
Dear God 

Repeat Chorus Until Fade
