[Chorus: 2Pac]
Live the life of a thug nigga✦ until✦ the day I die
Live the life of a boss player (All eyes on me) 'cause even✦ gettin'✦ high
All eyes on me
Live the life of a thug nigga✦ until✦ the day I die
Live the life of a boss player 'cause even✦ gettin'✦ high
[Interlude: Big Syke]
Hey, to my nigga✦ Pac
[Verse 2: Big Syke]
So much trouble in the world, nigga✦
Can't nobody✦ feel your pain
The world's changin' every✦ day, time's✦ movin'✦ fast
My girl said I need a raise, how long will she last?
I'm caught between my woman✦ and my pistol and my chips
Triple beam, got some smokers on, whistle as I dip
I'm lost in the land with no plan, livin'✦ life flawless
Crime boss, contraband, let me toss this
Mediocres got a lot of nerve, let my bucket✦ swerve
I'm takin'✦ off from the curb
The nervousness neglect make me pack a TEC
Devoted to servin'✦ this Moët and pay checks
Like Akai satellite, nigga,✦ I'm forever ballin'✦
It ain't right: parasites, triggers, and fleas crawlin'
Sucker,✦ duck and get busted,✦ no emotion✦
My devotion✦ is handlin' my business, nigga,✦ keep on coastin'
Where you goin', I been there, came back as lonely,✦ homie
Steady✦ flowin'✦ against the grain, niggas✦ still don't know me
It's about✦ the money✦ in this rap shit, this crap shit
It ain't funny,✦ niggas✦ don't even✦ know how to act, shit
What can I do? What can I say? Is there another way?
Blunts and gin all day, 24 parlay✦
My little homie G, can't you see I'm buster-free?
Niggas✦ can't stand me; all eyes on me
[Chorus: 2Pac]
Live the life of a thug nigga✦ until✦ the day I die
Live the life of a boss player 'cause even✦ gettin'✦ high
All eyes on me
All eyes on me
Live the life of a thug nigga✦ until✦ the day I die
Live the life of a boss player 'cause even✦ gettin'✦ high
All eyes on me
[Verse 3: 2Pac]
The feds is watchin',✦ niggas✦ plottin' to get me
Will I survive? Will I die? Come on, let's picture the possibility
Givin'✦ me charges, lawyers makin'✦ a grip
I told the judge I was raised✦ wrong and that's why I blaze shit
Was hyper✦ as a kid, cold as a teenager
On my mobile,✦ callin'✦ big shots on the scene major
Packin'✦ hundreds in my drawers, fuck the law
Bitches,✦ I fuck with a passion,✦ I'm livin'✦ rough and raw
Catchin'✦ cases✦ at a fast rate, ballin'✦ in the fast lane
Hustle 'til the mornin',✦ never✦ stopped until✦ the cash came
Live my life as a thug nigga✦ until✦ the day I die
Live my life as a boss player, 'cause even✦ gettin'✦ high
These niggas✦ got me tossin'✦ shit
I put the top down, now it's time to floss my shit
Keep your head up, nigga,✦ make these motherfuckers suffer✦
Up in the Benz, burnin'✦ rubber✦
The money✦ is mandatory, the hoes is for the stress
This criminal lifestyle, equipped with the bulletproof vest
Make sure your eyes is on the meal ticket✦
Get your money,✦ motherfucker,✦ let's get rich and we'll kick it
All eyes on me
[Chorus: 2Pac]
Live the life as a thug nigga✦ until✦ the day I die
Live the life as a boss player 'cause even✦ gettin'✦ high
All eyes on me
All eyes on me
Live the life of a thug nigga✦ until✦ the day I die
Live the life of a boss player 'cause even✦ gettin'✦ high
All eyes on me
[Outro: 2Pac]
Pay attention,✦ my niggas!✦ See how that shit go?
Nigga✦ walk up in this motherfucker✦ and it be like, "Bing!"
Cops, bitches,✦ every-motherfuckin'-body
(Live my life as a thug nigga✦ until✦ the day I die)
(Live my life as a boss playa, 'cause even✦ gettin'✦ high)
I got bustas,✦ hoes, and police✦ watchin'✦ a nigga,✦ you know?
(I live my life as a thug nigga✦ until✦ the day I die)
(Livin'✦ life as a boss playa, 'cause even✦ gettin'✦ high)
He he he, it's like what they think
I'm walkin'✦ around with some ki's in my pocket✦ or somethin'
They think I'm goin' back to jail, they really✦ on that dope
(Live my life as a thug nigga✦ until✦ the day I die)
(Live my life as a boss playa)
I know y'all watchin',✦ I know y'all got me in the scopes✦
(Live my life as a thug nigga✦ until✦ the day I die)
(Live my life as a boss playa, 'cause even✦ gettin'✦ high)
I know y'all know this is Thug Life, baby!✦
Y'all got me under✦ surveillance, huh?
All eyes on me, but I'm knowin'✦

Multisyllabic rhyme clustersInternal rhyme chainingRhythmic syncopationPhonetic repetition
Rhyme Architecture: Predominantly AABB/CCDD couplet structures heavily reinforced by dense, multi-syllabic internal rhyming (e.g., 'flawless/toss this', 'nerve/swerve/curb', 'ballin'/crawlin').
Verified Doubles & Entendres
"Devoted to servin' this Moët and pay checks"
① The literal act of serving expensive champagne (Moët) as part of a lifestyle.② The phonetic play on 'servin' this' as 'servicing' or 'doing time' in the criminal underworld while collecting illicit 'pay checks'.
"Triple beam, got some smokers on"
① Using a triple beam scale to weigh drugs.② The observation of 'smokers' (addicts) lingering in the vicinity of the drug operation.
Excellent rhythmic pocket and cadence variation
Strong command of the 'thug' persona through consistent lexical choices
Technically proficient internal rhyming that sustains momentum
Limited metaphorical depth outside of genre tropes
Some lyrical sequences prioritize sound/rhyme over coherent narrative progression
Dated slang reliance reduces potential for enduring lyrical impact
