Thug Life
The hate you give little infants fucks
Everyone.

A child is born and instead of coming into the world surrounded by
Praises and joy

We're slapped on the ass and
labeled as a girl and black.

So unfortunate for you baby girl,
To be African American and a female at that.

The world will hate you baby girl
Because you are female

You are not designed to be a leader
You are not designed to be the superior gender or made to be one's equal

Nah,
you are here for a quick fuck
and to push out a couple of babies
You'll probably get a ring if you're lucky.

A housewife/whore/ or ugly

Are your only options and luckily you're
Not the ladder.

But still, you're African American.

A beauty but incomparable to the white woman's

See she will always be better.
Her hair's longer and silkier

Her smile's bigger and holds no pain and she doesn't have years
Of oppression hanging over her last name.

Thug Life
You are not seen as a threat

But you are a bottom feeder
Made for the pleasure of men even if it's
Forcefully

You will know your place by any means necessary
Thug Life

The hate you give little infants fucks everybody.

Young King came in this world with a target
On his back.

Instead of tears of gold, momma is worried

About her baby being gunned down

By not only the police and white man
But his own kind.

The hate you give
Causes destruction.

Every block he turns
there's a weapon pointed
At his head.

Don't shoot he'll shout
But suddenly his language if foreign

Young King just wants to be a provider to
Fend for his momma and his family.
