[Verse 2: 2Pac]
Moan baby✦ when we bone it's on
It's so strong niggas in the next room'll cum
I got ya head swingin'
Tongue kissin',✦ as I hit it from the back with the bed ringin'✦ (haha)✦
Give me space, as I lick ya face, stick the place
Synchronize so I drive when they kick the bass
Love fuckin'✦ in tha mo'nin'✦
I get ya wet and bust a sweat, then I'm gone
Left you on yo' own girl
Tell me what you feel like
Blindfolded, I'm cold do it real nice - that's if it feel right
Maybe it's the thug in me
I pull ya hair while we fuckin'✦ in the chair, when ya lovin'✦ me
Up against the wall, you can have it all; just try
Bet my kiss, to get you high, don't pass by
Grab me by my nuts when I'm lovin'✦ you
Now open✦ up and let me put the thug in you
[Hook: K-Ci & JoJo (2Pac)]
A thug nigga✦ like me, I need a thug lady✦ like you, give it to me
I got a lot of thug in me (Maybe it's the thug in me).. lot of thug
That I wanna✦ put in you
A thug nigga✦ like me, I need a thug lady✦ like you, can you check it
I got a lot of thug in me, do you want it
That I wanna✦ give to you girl (Maybe it's the thug in you)
[Verse 3: 2Pac]
Say baby✦ what's your phone number?✦
Be warned,✦ I'm like a storm with my own thunder
I make the room rumble, in and out long stroke
Hold ya breath now, close your eyes deep throat
Did you like it?.. Oooh I'm excited!✦
Cause it's a party✦ in my bedroom, you're invited✦
C'mon now, let me see ya shake your rump
Tell me, how long will it take to cum
Havin'✦ fun, do it one on one and we can all get involved
First y'all do me, then I'll fuck y'all
When you call me the next day
To get sexed✦ by a nigga✦ in the best way
Yeah baby✦ it's a price to pay
Only✦ play in the fast lane
When you a hustler, motherfuck a cash came
I gotcha✦ goin' wild, 'cause I'm lovin'✦ you
Drugged out with this motherfuckin'✦ thug in you
[Hook: K-Ci & JoJo (2Pac)]
A thug nigga✦ like me, I need a thug lady✦ like you
I got a lot of thug in me
That I wanna✦ put in you and you
A thug nigga✦ like me, I need a thug lady✦ like you
I got a lot of thug in me (Maybe it's the thug in me)
That I wanna✦ give to you girl (Maybe it's the thug in you)
A thug nigga✦ like me, I need a thug lady✦ like you
I got a lot of thug in me
That I wanna✦ put in you and you (Maybe it's the thug in me)
A thug nigga✦ like me, I need a thug lady✦ like you

Oh yeah!.. like me!..yeah.. look at me baby..yeah..yeah

I hold a lot of thug in me, you hold a lot of thug in ya

Now c'mon, I hold a lot of thug in me
Hold a lot of thug in you, hold a lot of thug in me

Can you feel it?
I hold a lot of thug in me, I gotta✦ be some thug in ya
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Collision: 2Pac]
I don't wanna✦ talk, I don't want no explanations✦
I don't got no motherfuckin'✦ explanations,✦ y'knahmsayin?
It's the thug in me
Don't be askin'✦ why I'm pullin'✦ your hair
And why I fuck so motherfuckin'✦ thuggish
That thug passion, y'knahmean?
Bitch, no mercy✦
What you scared✦ of?
Didn't you come over✦ here to get fucked?✦ (no)
You ain't come over✦ here for me to be
Strokin', and all that bullshit✦
You came over✦ here to get fucked✦ (no)
Shit, if I ain't fuck you thug style
Bitch you'd leave my house talkin'✦ bout, "2Pac can't serve me"
Won't have me crossed up in that bullshit,✦ hahaha✦
Turn over!✦ maybe it's the thug in me! ..

Verified Doubles & Entendres
"put the thug in you"
① Physical act of intercourse performed by a 'thug' persona② Metaphorical transfer of the 'thug' lifestyle/attitude to the partner
"stick the place"
① Sexual penetration as a literal act② Slang derivation of 'sticking up a place' (robbery), implying a predatory sexual encounter
Exceptional rhythmic placement of rhymes
High-intensity vocal delivery that conveys intimacy and urgency
Consistent, fluid transition between lines
Strong use of sonic texture to emphasize the theme
Limited metaphorical depth
Reliance on conventional hyper-masculine tropes
Wordplay is primarily literal rather than abstract
