Song Lyrics

Another anthem for the thugs
Dade County's finest

[Intro]
Look what God done gave me
Look what God done done
And even though I'm thuggin'
God been good to me

On everything I love, I'm a thug
I done considered a change but what for (What for?)
Alla my homies in pen fields
I can't be lying to them, if I'm ridin' for them

I gotta tell 'em how it really is
A lot of things done changed since last year
Nope the crib and the same no more
And these young niggas don't respect the game no more

They don't see your name no more
They doin' they own lil' thangs though
Committin' sins, they know they get hanged for
But nigga God is straight, for as long as you keepin' it straight

Keep believin' in him and you'll be leavin' with him
So in Jesus' name I pray for better thangs
If you help me Lord my heart'll never change
And y'all pray wit me

Huh, huh-huh
'Fore they come get me and then come get cha

[Hook]
Look what God done gave me
Look what God done done
And even though I'm thuggin'
God been good to me, good to me
Look at all my money
Look at all I've done
And even though I'm thuggin'
God been good to me, good to me

I could've been Asian, Bohemian
Puerto rican, Jamaican
Could've been Cuban, Colombian or Haitian
Could've been Japanese, Chinese or Guyanese

Could've been from overseas or the West Indies
Could've been anything but God made me black
Could've had anything but God gave me stacks
While he was givin' me that he said remember you're black

Whatever you spend on your momma I be gettin' it back
So as you see, a new watch and a Benz
And I'm still gettin' money wit my same old friends
Know this lady named Miss Pearl, my old girl

Raised all us, based all us
So, I'm a thank the Lord for her
'Cause you know where I'd be if it wasn't for her
I done learned a lot of things in this game, matter fact

Seen a lot of other other things that was strange
And there's a new game out called snitchin'
And it's obviously helped because these niggas keep tellin'
Lord please help me smell my thugs

So I can keep this in life, but free my niggas tonight
And I'm a thug on in memory of Hollywood
Think thug for life, 'cause God's been good

[Hook: x3]
