Why We Thugs (Explicit) - Ice Cube

Lyrics by：O'Shea Jackson/Scott Storch

Composed by：O'Shea Jackson/Scott Storch

Yeah every hood's the same

Every hood's the same come on

They give us guns and ***

Then wonder why in the f**k we thugs

They wanna count the slugs

Then come around here and f**k with us

With know

They give us guns and ***

Then wonder why in the f**k we thugs

They wanna count the slugs

Then come around here and f**k with us

I'm from the land of the gang bang

Since I was little ain't a godd**n thang changed

It's the same old saying

Bush run s**t like Saddam Hussein

I cock and aim clinically insane

To deal with this bulls**t day-to-day

If I sell some yay or smoke some hay

You b***hes wanna throw me up in Pelican's Bay

Call me an animal up in the system

But who's the animal that built this prison

Who's the animal that invented lower-livin'

The projects thank God for Russell Simmons

Thank God for Sugarhill

I'm putting a different kind of steel up to my grill

Y'all know what it is scared for your own kids

How these ghetto n***as taken over showbiz

They give us guns and ***

Then wonder why in the f**k we thugs

They wanna count the slugs

Then come around here and f**k with us

They give us guns and ***

Then wonder why in the f**k we thugs

They wanna count the slugs

Then come around here and f**k with us

It's boys in the hood it's toys in the hood

Y'all wanna know why there's noise in the hood

'Cause there's *** in the hood thugs in the hood

N***a killed a crip and a blood in the hood

For real

'Cause when n***as get tribal

It's all about survival nobody liable

I got caught by five-O

Grandmama came to court with her Bible

But when the judge hit the gavel

Now I'm too far from my family to travel

F**k

I just came unraveled

Socked the DA before I got gaffled

Owned by CA state property

Just like the year fifteen fifty three

Looking for me a one-way ticket out

Don't understand what's so hard to figure out

They give us guns and ***

Then wonder why in the f**k we thugs

They wanna count the slugs

Then come around here and f**k with us

They give us guns and ***

Then wonder why in the f**k we thugs

They wanna count the slugs

Then come around here and f**k with us

I can't take the pressure

Pulled the 4-4 up out the dresser

Grabbed the weight up out the closet

Po-po coming but I'm scared to toss it

Y'all know what happened last time I lost it

Can't tell you n***as what the f**kin' boss did

D game got a n***a exhausted

Gotta go for the plea bargain they offered

Twenty years for what

Breaking these laws that's so corrupt

Taking these halls and fillin' them up

Some powder keg s**t that's about to erupt

Aye y'all I'm about to be stuck

Until the year two thousand what the f**k

In the hood don't press your luck

'Cause these motherf**kers will set you up word up

They give us guns and ***

Then wonder why in the f**k we thugs

They wanna count the slugs

Then come around here and f**k with us

No no

They give us guns and ***

Then wonder why in the f**k we thugs

They wanna count the slugs

Then come around here and f**k with us

Every hood's the same every hood's the same

Every hood's the same every hood's the same

Every hood's the same stop trippin on it

Every hood's the same every hood's the same

Every hood's the same every hood's the same

Every hood's the same

Same

Same

Same
