When thugs cry,Now I lay me down to sleepI pray the Lord my guns to keepIf I die before I wakeI pray the Lord my soul to takeGod as my witness, when thugs cry, too much is hardBorn thuggin'' and lovin'' the way I came upBig money clutchin', bustin'' while evadin' cocaine bustsMy pulse rushin'', send my pulse into insanityShout at my cousin now we bustin' if they yo' familyThe coppers want to see me buried, I ain't worriedI got a line on the D.A. 'cause I'm fuckin'' his secretaryI black out and start cussin, bust 'em and touch 'em allThey panic and bitches duckin, I rush 'em and fuck 'em allI'll probably be an old man before I understandWhy I had to live my life with pistols close at handKidnapped my homey's sister, cut her face up badThey even raped so we blazed they padAutomatic shots rang out, on every blockThey puttin hits out on politicians, even cops, I ain't lyinThey got me sleepin' with my infrared beamsSongtexteAnd in my dreams I hear motherfuckers screamin'What is the meaning, when thugs cry?[Chorus]Oh why, children send your child off to dieIn the streets of chalk where they lieLet no wrongs cry out when thugs cryDear God (When thugs cry)Oh why, does it have to be this way, ourChildren of today won't stay wise (thugs cry)Let the children hear when thugs cryDear God, oh whyHeh, maybe my addiction to friction got me bugginWhere is the love? Never quit my ambition to thugAin't shed a tear since the old school years of elementaryNiggas I used to love, enclosed in penitentiariesBut still homey keep it real, how does it feelTo lose your life, over somethin' that you did as a kid?You all alone, no communication, block on the phoneDon't get along with yo' pop, and plus your moms is goneWhere did we go wrong? I put my soul in the songTo help us grow at times, but now our minds are goneWe went from brothers and sisters, to niggas and bitchesWe went from welfare livin', to worldwide richesBut somethin' changed in this dirty game, everything's strangeLost all my homies over cocaine.. mayneSee they ask me if I shed a tear, I ain't lieSee you gotta get high or die, 'cause even thugs cry[Chorus]And all I see is these paranoid bitches, illegal adventuresBustin' motherfuckers with uppercuts, I leave 'em with dentures'Cause in my criminal mind, nobody violates the DonI write your name on a piece of paper, now your family's goneWhy perpetrate like you can handle my team?So merciless that my attack'll take command of your dreamsLeavin' motherfuckers drownin' in they own bloodClownin' takin' pictures laterLaugh bout the punk bitches, that turned snitchesRegulate my area, the terror I representMakin' yo' people disappear, you wonderin' where they went?Am I cold or is it just I sold my soul?Addicted to these streets, never find true peace I'm toldCome take my body God, don't let me suffer any longerSmoke a pound of marijuana, so I know it ain't longWhere is the end to all my misery, is there a close?I suppose that's why I murder my foes, when thugs cry[Chorus]I shed tattooed tears for yearsFor my dead homeboys and my prison peersY'all ain't never heard my criesNow you wonder why would you die?[Chorus]
