The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Verse 1

The only way to change me is maybe blow my brains out

stuck in the middle of the game to get the pain out

Pray to my God everyday but he don't listen

the poverty bothers me but mama's working wonders in the kitchen

Listen I can hear her crying in the bedroom

praying for money we never think would she be dead soon

Am I wrong for wishing I was somewhere else

at 13 can't feed myself

Can I blame daddy 'cause he left me

wish he would've helped me

too much like him 'til my mama don't love me

On my own at a early age gettin' paid

and I'm strapped so I'll never be afraid

Where did I go astray I'm hanging in the back streets

running with G's and dope fiends will they jack me?

Can't turn back my eyes on the prize

I got nothing to lose

everybody gotta die

say good-bye to the bad guy

that one you fucked when you passed by

Buck buck (gunshots) from a Glock

tempured glass fly

Do or Die walk a mile in my shoes

and you'd be crazy too

with nothing to lose

Chorus

I got nothing to lose

(that's why I got gang related)

got nothing to lose 5x

nothing to lose

Verse 2

I thank the Lord for my many blessings

though I'm stressin' keep a

vest for protection

from the barrel of the Smith & Wesson

and all my niggas in the pen'

here we go again

Ain't nothing seperating us from a mack 10

Born in the ghetto as a hustla older

straight soldier bucking at them bustas

No matter how you try niggas never die

We just retaliate with hate then we multiply

see me striking down the

block hittin' co'ners

Mobbin' like a muthafucka livin' like I wanna

Ain't no stoppin' at the red lights I'm sideways

Thug Life muthafucka criiime pays

Let the cops put they lights on

chase me nigga

zig-zaggin' through the freeway

race me nigga

In a high speed chase with the law

the realest muthafucka that you ever saw

I'm livin' raw 'til they bury me don't worry me

I'm high livin' like I ain't afraid to die

And you could walk a mile in my shoes

and you'd be crazy too

Chorus

Verse 3

Ain't no escape from a deadly fate

and everyday there's a million black bodies put away

I'm startin' to lose hope

it seems everybody's on dope

Mama told me to leave 'cause she was broke

Sometimes I choke on the indo

peepin' out the window alone on my own

I'm a criminal

Got no love from the household I'm out cold

in the streets give me muthafucking peace

I got nothing to lose

and something to prove

What do I do live Thug Life nigga stay true

I wonder when they kill me

is there a Heaven for a real G

Lord forgive me if you feel me

'Cause all my life I was dirt broke

with no hope li'l skinny muthafucka wantin' dough

I hated cutting suckers with my razor blade

but everyday it's a struggle to get major paid

Anyway it's so hard on a nigga in this city

no pity and ain't no love for the scrubs that be buyin' time

If you could walk a mile in my shoes you'd be crazy too

with nothing to lose

Chorus

Outro

It was a what type nigga be a Thug Life nigga

We be the craziest...Muthafucka!

You know!

It was a what type nigga be a Thug Life nigga

We be the craziest!
