When Thugz Cry Lyrics - Until The End Of Time - 2pac

Intro: 

When Thugz Cry 

Now I lay me down to sleep 

I pray to Lord my guns to keep 

If I die before I wake 

I pray to Lord my soul to take 

Got us dyin' 

When Thugz Cry 

Times is hard 

Verse One: 

Born thuggin' and lovin' 

The way I came up, big money clutchin' 

Bustin' while evadin' cocaine bust 

My po's rushin' 

To my cushin' into insanity 

They shot at my cousin, now we bustin' at they whole family 

These cowards wanna see me buried, 

I aint worried 

I got a loan on the D.A. cause I'm fuckin' the secretary

I black out, start cussin', bust 'em and touch 'em all 

They panicin', bitches duckin' 

I rush 'em and fuck 'em all 

Probably be an old man before I understand 

Why I had to live my life with pistols close in hand 

Kidnapped my homie sister cut her face up bad 

The even raped her so we blazed they pad 

Automatic shots rang out on every block 

The puttin hits on the politicians even cops 

I ain't lyin', they got me sleeping' with my infrared beams 

And in my dreams I hear muthafuckas screamin' 

What's the meanin'? 

When thugz cry

Chrous: 

Oh why 

Should you send your child off to die 

In the streets of chalk 

When they die 

Let the rocks cry out 

When thugz cry 

Dear God 

(when thugz cry) 

Oh why 

Does it have to be this way Ahh 

children of today won't stay by 

(when thugz cry) 

Let the children hear 

When thugz cry 

Dear God 

Oh why 

(Ha) 

Verse two: 

Maybe my addiction to friction got me buggin' 

Where is the love, never quit my ambitions to thug 

Ain't shed a tear since the old school years of elementary 

Niggers I used to love enclosed in penitentiaries 

Still homie keep it real, how does it feel? 

To loose your life over something that you did as a kid 

you all alone no communication, block on the phone 

Don't get alone with your pops and plus your moms is gone 

Where did we go wrong? I put my soul in this song 

To help us grow in time but now our minds are gone 

We went from brothers and sisters to niggers and bitches 

We went from welfare livin' to worldwide riches 

But somethin' change in this dirty game 

Everything 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 thugz cry 

Chorus: 

Oh why 

Should you send your child off to die 

In the streets of chalk 

(when thugz cry) 

When they die 

(We don't shed a tear, she shed blood) 

Let the rocks cry out 

When thugz cry 

(Do you still wanna be a thug) 

Dear God 

Oh why 

Does it have to be this way Ahh 

Children of today won't stay by 

Let the children hear 

When thugz cry 

Dear God 

Oh why 

Verse three: 

And all I see are these paranoid bitches, illegal inventions 

Bustin' muthafuckas 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, and now your family's gone 

Well perpetrate like you could handle my team 

So merciless in mind try to take command of your dreams 

Leavin' muthafuckas drownin' in they own blood 

Clown and takin' pictures 

Later laugh at the punk bitches that turned snitches 

Regulate my area the terror I represent 

Make your people disapear, your wonderin' where they went 

Am I cold, or is it just I sold my soul? 

Addicted to the streets 

Never found 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 thugz cry 

Chorus: 

Oh why 

Should you send your child off to die 

In the streets of chalk 

(I shed tattoo tearz for years) 

When they die 

Let the rocks cry out 

(To my dead homeboyz and the prison peace) 

When thugz cry 

Dear God 

Oh why 

(Yall ain't never heard my bries, nigga, what about if you would die) 

Does it have to be this way Ahh 

Children of today won't stay by 

Let the children hear 

When thugz cry 

Dear God 

*repeat chorus until fade*
