You! Yes, you! Stand still laddy When we grew up and went to school There were certain teachers who would Hurt the children any way they could By pouring their derision Upon anything we did Exposing every weakness However carefully hidden by the kids But

All that I'm dreaming of That all that I need is love The day that I will find my love Boys like to think they can have it all Well they don't know they're still so small All that they see is live is opportunity Guys like to think they'll get any girl

How long will they mourn me? How long will you mourn me?! I wish it would have been another Yeah! This for my nigga Kato It's still on nigga, believe that We live a Thug Life, Thugs for Life Yeah (How long will they mourn me?) We handle this shit for you

Beating like a hammer Help I'm alive My heart keeps beating like a hammer They're gonna eat me alive Hard to be soft Tough to be tender Come take my pulse the pace is on a runaway train If you're still alive My regrets are few

(Godzilla is still alive!) Damn a lot of niggas done changed on me (Damn they done changed on me) Fuck if I care, I got Jackson, Grant and Ben Frank on me I don't know why niggas hate on me I gotta move differently, I got a case on me I got 'em hirin'
