[Verse 2: 2Pac, 2Pac & Lil' Mo]
I'm probably too nice at first, I let you kiss me where it hurts
Me and you gettin'✦ busy,✦ slingin' dick in the dirt
Met you at a pool party,✦ it was cool to kick it
See us, tounge-kissin', you was truly✦ with it
Little ecstacy, Hennesey, mixed✦ with me
Picture✦ me pay for pussy✦ when the dick's for free
Hey now, where my niggas✦ at? Tell these hoes
Before✦ I pay, I jerk off, word to Moses✦
Visions of you sittin'✦ there sweaty✦ and wet
Pointin'✦ (Pointin')✦ to the places✦ that you want me to hit
Gimme room all up in the womb, call the cops
Nigga✦ hittin'✦ walls 'til them bastards drop
Label me Makaveli, thug nigga✦ with pipe
Livin'✦ life like a rock star's Friday✦ night
Make money,✦ get pussy,✦ always✦ keep a pager
Cell phone and a ride to complete my nature✦
Now—
[Chorus: Lil' Mo]
Kissed✦ the girls, made them cry
Thuggin'✦ life, and gettin'✦ high
Why you gangsta,✦ all the time?
That's a thug's nature✦
Though sometimes,✦ I can deal with it
I realize,✦ that I'm feelin'✦ it
It's a love and hate relationship✦
But that's a thug's nature✦
[Verse 3: 2Pac]
Haha✦
Started as a seed from the semen,✦ straight outta✦ papa's✦ nuts
Lustin'✦ for creamin' - bitches with big butts
Curves✦ make a nigga✦ cry, tits and shit
When I'm locked✦ down beggin'✦ you for porno✦ flicks
Sneak weed in, help a nigga✦ pass the time
Put my name tattoo'd so that ass is mine
Tell everybody; 'Pac put it down for good
A local✦ legend through the whole hood, follow✦ me
I got a gun on me, goin' for none on the run baby✦
You know a nigga✦ need some, is my son crazy?✦
Why I cry, when I be thuggin'✦ 'til I die
Picture✦ a nigga✦ in heaven,✦ high off weed I fly
Got me missin'✦ dead homies✦ wishin'✦ phonies would die
Hit the weed and hope it get me high, dear God
Understand my ways, livin'✦ major
Blessed with a thug's heart and a real live nigga✦ nature✦
[Chorus: Lil' Mo]
Kissed✦ the girls, made them cry
Thuggin'✦ life, and gettin'✦ high
Why you gangsta,✦ all the time?
That's a thug's nature✦ (that's a nigga✦ nature)✦
Though sometimes,✦ I can deal with it
I realize,✦ that I'm feelin'✦ it
It's a love and hate relationship✦
But that's a thug's nature✦ (cause that's a nigga✦ nature)✦
Kissed✦ the girls, made them cry
Thuggin'✦ life, and gettin'✦ high
Why you gangsta,✦ all the time?
That's a thug's nature✦ (hey, just be a nigga✦ nature)✦
Though sometimes,✦ I can deal with it
I realize,✦ that I'm feelin'✦ it
It's a love and hate relationship✦
But that's a thug's nature✦ (cause that's a nigga✦ nature)✦
[Ad-libs: 2Pac & Lil' Mo]
It ain't my fault
Hehe, Q.D., where you be? Ahh
Don't blame me blame my momma,✦ a nigga✦ nature✦
[Outro: Lil' Mo]
QDIII, and Lil' Mo
2Pac, puttin'✦ it down fo' sho' ("'cause that's a nigga✦ nature")✦
I realize,✦ that I'm feelin'✦ it
Cause that's a thug nature✦
Though sometimes✦ I can deal with it
I realize,✦ I'm feelin'✦ it
Love and hate, relationship✦
Cause that's a thug's nature✦ ("'cause that's a nigga✦ nature")✦
Yeah yeah yeah.. yeah yeah yeah..
Yeahhh yeah.. and that's a thug's nature✦
Where you at? Holla✦

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™
Pac's performance utilizes his signature authoritative, high-energy cadence to elevate a verse that relies more on visceral, hedonistic imagery and rhythmic internal rhyming than complex lyrical abstraction.

Verified Doubles & Entendres
"Picture me pay for pussy when the dick's for free"
① A rhetorical question challenging the idea that he would ever need to spend money for sexual favors.② A display of 'thug' entitlement, reinforcing his status as a high-value character who does not need to participate in transactional relationships.
"word to Moses"
① A slang affirmation or oath of truthfulness, common in the era's vernacular.② A playful, if slight, religious allusion meant to heighten the gravity or 'truth' of his previous assertion about self-gratification.
Commanding vocal presence that maintains interest despite simple thematic material
High internal rhyme density creates an immersive pocket
Effective use of persona (Makaveli) to establish tone
Thematic content is largely one-dimensional compared to his more socio-political work
Lack of sustained, multi-layered metaphor beyond surface-level bravado
