[Cm] [Fm]
Now I lay down to sleep, [Ab] I pray the Lord my guns [G] to keep, I [Cm] pray the Lord my soul to [Fm] take, [Ab] God is God, without his cry, [G]
I'm solid.
[Cm] Well I'm thuggin' and lovin' the way I came, [Fm] my big money clutchin', bustin' while he vapin' [Ab] cocaine, bust my folks rushin', send my clutchin' into insanity, [G] shoutin' my cousin out, bustin' at they old family.
[Cm] The cops wanna see me, buddy, I ain't rubbin', I [Fm] got a line under the A cause I'm fuckin' his secretary, [Ab] I black out in store, I cuss and bust him and touch him all, [G] they panickin', bitches duckin', I rush em and fuck em [Cm] all.
I'm proud of being an old man before I understand [Fm] why I had to live my life with this loose clothes [Ab] in hand, kidnapped my homies, and stuck up face up back, they [G] even raped us so we placed a pad.
Automatic [Cm] shots, spray out on every block, they puttin' hits [Fm] out on politicians, even cops, I [Eb] ain't lyin', they [Ab] got me sickerin' with my infrared beams, and in my dreams [G] I hear motherfuckers screamin', what is the [Gm] meaning when [Cm] love's cryin'?
Should I send your child [Fm] off to die in [Ab] the streets of chalk where they die, let no bars cry, act [G] when thugs cry, dear God, [Cm] do you know why?
Does it have to be [Fm] this way?
Our [Ab] children of today won't stay wise, let the children hear [G] when thugs cry, dear [Gm] God.
[Cm] Baby, [C] my addiction to Frenchin' got me buckin', where [Fm] is the love?
Never quit my ambition to [Ab] thug, ain't shut a dick since the old school years of elementary, [G] niggas I used to love, enclosed in [Cm] penitentiaries, still, homie, keep it big,
hard as a fidget to [Fm] lose your life over somethin' [Ab] that you did as a kid, you all alone, no communication, block or default, don't [G] get along with your pop, or plus your mom's a skunk, when [Cm] did we go wrong?
I put my soul in this song to [Fm] help us grow in time, but now my mind's [Ab] a gone, we went from brothers and sisters to niggas and bitches, we [G] went from welfare livin' to worldwide riches, but [Cm] somethin's changed in this very day, everything's strange, lost [Fm] all my homies over, okay, man, [Ab] see they ask me if I shut a dick, I ain't lie, [G] see you gotta get high or die, cause even thugs [Cm] cry.
Oh, why should we send a young child [Fm] out to die in [Ab] the streets of Georgia where they lie, when the rocks cry, yet [G] when thugs cry, dear God, [Cm] oh, why does it have to be [Fm] this way?
Our [Ab] children of today won't stay wise, let the children hear [G] when thugs cry, dear God.
But all I see [Cm] is these tattooed, annoying bitches, illegal inventors, bustin' [Fm] motherfuckers with uppercuts, I leave em with digits, cause [Ab] in my criminal mind, nobody violates the done, I [Gm] write your name on a piece of paper, now your family's gone, walk [Cm] up to the street like you can handle my team, submerse em in some [Fm] mobs, I can take a man and get trained, [Ab] leavin' motherfuckers drownin' in they own blood, glad to take a picture [G] later, laugh at the punk bitches that turn snitches, [Cm] regulate my area to terrorize rappers and [Fm] make your people disappear, [Ab] you wonderin' where they went and my code word was,
I know my soul, addicted [G] to these streets, never find true peace, I'm told, come [Cm] take my body, God, don't let me stop any longer, [Fm] smoke a pound of marijuana, slow right down, when [Ab] they lock, where's that dog, my nigga, is that close, [G] I suppose that's why I murder my foes, when thugs [Cm] cry.
Oh my, should this any young child [Fm] opt to die, in [Ab] the streets of Chalkwood, maybe I, let no thugs cry at [G] when thugs cry, dear God, [Cm] oh my, don't let that to me, [Fm] yes they are, [Ab] children of today won't stay by, let the children hear [G] when thugs cry, dear God.
