When Thugz Cry Lyrics by Tupac

When Thugz Cry Lyrics

    Now I lay me down to sleep
    I pray the Lord my guns to keep
    If I die before I wake
    I pray the Lord, my soul to take
    As God as my witness
    When Thugz Cry
    Sometimes it's hard
    [Verse 1]
    Born thuggin' and loving the way I came up
    Big money clutchin, busting while evading cocaine, bust my po's rushing
    Semi-clutching into insanity, they shot at my cousin now we bustin' at they whole family
    The coppers wanna see me buried, I ain't worried
    I got a line on the DA cause I'm fucking his secretary
    I black out and start cussing, bust em and touch em all
    They panic and bitches duck and I rush em and fuck em all
    I'll probably be an old man before I understand, why I had to live my life with pistols close at hand
    Kidnapped my homies sister, cut her face us bad, they even raped her so we blaze they pad
    Automatic shots rang out, on every block
    They putting hits out on politicians even cops, I ain't lyin'
    They got me sleeping with my infrared beam
    And in my dreams I hear mother fuckers screamin', what is the meaning?
    When Thugz Cry

    [Chorus]
    Oh why should you send your child off too die
    In the streetz of chalk where they lie
    And no thugz cry when thugz cry
    Dear God
    Oh why does it have to be this way, I
    Children of today won't stay wise
    Let the children hear when thugz cry
    Dear God, alright

    [Verse 2]
    Maybe my addiction to friction got my buggin'
    Where is the love? Never quit my ambition's to thug
    Ain't shed a tear since the old school years, of elementary
    Niggaz I used to love, enclosed in penitentiaries
    Still homey keep it real, how does it feel to lose your life over something 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 mom 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 brothers and sisters, to niggaz and bitches
    We went from welfare living, to world-wide riches
    But something's changed in this dirty game, everything's strange
    I lost all my homies over cocaine, man
    See they asked me if I shed a tear, I ain't lie
    See you gotta get high or die
    Cause even thugz cry

    [Chorus]

    [Verse 3]
    Will I see if these paranoid bitches, illegal inventions
    Bustin' mother fuckers with uppercuts, 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
    While approach and shake like you can handle me team
    So merciless in my attack it'll take command of your dreams
    Leaving mother fuckers drowning in they own blood
    Clownin, taking pictures
    Later, laugh at them punk bitches, that turned snitches
    Regulate my area the terror I represent
    Make your people disappear, you wondering where they went
    I am I cold or is it just I sold me soul
    Addicted to these streets to 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

    I shed tattoo tears for years
    My dead homeboyz and my in prison niggaz
    Y'all ain't never heard my cries
    Now you wonder why would you die?

    [Chorus] 2x
