متن آهنگ When Thugz Cry - Album Version (Edited) از 2Pac

When thugs cry Now I lay me down to sleep I pray the Lord my guns to keep If I die before I wake I pray the Lord my soul to take Got us dyin', when thugs cry, times is hard Born thuggin' and lovin' the way I came up Big money clutchin', bustin', while evadin' cocaine busts My pulse rushin', send my cushin' into insanity Shout at my cousin now we bustin' if they yo' family The coppers want to see me buried, I ain't worried I got a line on the D.A. 'cause I'm fuckin' his secretary I black out and start cussin', bust 'em and touch 'em all They panic and bitches duckin', I rush 'em and fuck 'em all I'll probably be an old man before I understand Why I had to live my life with pistols close at hand Kidnapped my homie's sister, cut her face up bad They even raped her, so we blazed they pad Automatic shots rang out, on every block They puttin' hits out on politicians, even cops, I ain't lyin' They got me sleepin' with my infrared beams And in my dreams I hear motherfuckers screamin' What is the meaning, when thugs cry? Oh why, should you send your child off to die In the streets of chalk where they lie Let no wrongs cry out when thugs cry Dear God (when thugs cry) Oh why, does it have to be this way, our Children of today won't stay wise (thugs cry) Let the children hear when thugs cry Dear God, oh why Heh, maybe my addiction to friction got me buggin' Where is the love? Never quit my ambition to thug Ain't shed a tear since the old school years of elementary Niggas I used to love, enclosed in penitentiaries But still homie keep it real, how does it feel To lose your life, over somethin' that you did as a kid? You all alone, no communication, block on the phone Don't get along with yo' pop, and plus your moms is gone Where did we go wrong? I put my soul in the song To help us grow at times, but now our minds are gone We went from brothers and sisters, to niggas and bitches We went from welfare livin', to worldwide riches But somethin' changed in this dirty game, everything's strange Lost all my homies over cocaine, man See they ask me if I shed a tear, I ain't lie See you gotta get high or die, 'cause even thugs cry Oh why, should you send your child off to die? In the streets of chalk where they lie Let no wrongs cry out when thugs cry Dear God Oh why, does it have to be this way, our Children of today won't stay wise Let the children hear when thugs cry Dear God, oh why? And all I see is these paranoid bitches, illegal adventures Bustin' motherfuckers with uppercuts, I leave 'em with dentures 'Cause in my criminal mind, nobody violates the Don I write your name on a piece of paper, now your family's gone Why perpetrate like you can handle my team? So merciless that my attack'll take command of your dreams Leavin' motherfuckers drownin' in they own blood Clownin' takin' pictures later Laugh 'bout the punk bitches, that turned snitches Regulate my area, the terror I represent Make yo' people disappear, you wonderin' where they went? Am I cold or is it just I sold my soul? Addicted to these streets, never find true peace, I'm told Come take my body God, don't let me suffer any longer Smoke a pound of marijuana, so I know it ain't long Where is the end to all my misery, is there a close? I suppose that's why I murder my foes, when thugs cry Oh why, should you send your child off to die In the streets of chalk where they lie Let no wrongs cry out when thugs cry Dear God (when thugs cry) Oh why, does it have to be this way, our Children of today won't stay wise (thugs cry) Let the children hear when thugs cry Dear God, oh why? Oh why, should you send your child off to die In the streets of chalk where they lie Let no wrongs cry out when thugs cry Dear God Oh why, does it have to be this way, our Children of today won't stay wise Let the children hear when thugs cry Dear God, oh why?
