[Chorus]
Said he's gonna✦ be, said he's gonna✦ be
One day he's gonna✦ be, shorty's✦ gonna✦ be a thug
Said he wanna✦ be, said he wanna✦ be
One day he's gonna✦ be, shorty's✦ gonna✦ be a thug
Said he's gonna✦ be, one day he's gonna✦ be
Said he wanna✦ be, shorty's✦ gonna✦ be a thug
Said he wanna✦ be, one day he's gonna✦ be
Said he wanna✦ be, shorty's✦ gonna✦ be a thug
[Verse 2]
Straight from the halls to the pen
An adolescent nigga✦ standing way higher✦ than six feet ten
He carried weight, like a Mack truck
Gonna✦ bust on playa haters,✦ if them motherfuckers✦ act tuff
Then that's when, a lethal weapon with the razor
This little nigga✦ smoking✦ weed and getting✦ blazed✦ up
No one could figure,✦ when the guns blast, pull the trigger
Could take the life of a young nigga,✦ guns bigger✦
No mother✦ and father,✦ you see, the nigga's✦ all alone✦
Old timers✦ my role model, the war zone
Been laced✦ with this game 'til it's a part of me
My heart don't beat no fear, and that ain't hard to see
The future's looking✦ dim
I'm tryna✦ make a profit out of living in this sin
I'm in the dark, getting✦ buzzed✦
Looking✦ for some love out with the homies✦ ‘cause shorty✦ wanna✦ be a thug
[Chorus]
Said he's gonna✦ be, said he's gonna✦ be
One day he's gonna✦ be, shorty's✦ gonna✦ be a thug
Said he's wanna✦ be, one day he's gonna✦ be
Said he's gonna✦ be, shorty's✦ gonna✦ be a thug
Said he's wanna✦ be, one day he's gonna✦ be
Said he wanna✦ be, shorty's✦ gonna✦ be a thug
Said he wanna✦ be, one day he's gonna✦ be
Said he wanna✦ be, shorty's✦ gonna✦ be a thug
[Outro]
Shorty's✦ gonna✦ be a thug
Little bad ass nigga,✦ to the young niggas✦
Gotta✦ stay sharp, nigga,✦ play your part!
Got plenty✦ of time (You bad motherfuckers)✦
You only✦ get three mistakes, and then it's life, big baby✦
(Niggas✦ crazy)✦ Watch the signs!
Damn, nigga!✦ Sixteen,✦ nigga?✦
Sixteen?!✦ Some bad motherfuckers✦
