Chorus

Say he wanna be
Shorties gonna be a Thug
Said he wanna be
One day he's gonna be
Said he's gonna be
Shorties gonna be a Thug
Said he's gonna be
One day he gonna be
Say he wanna be
Shorties gonna be a Thug
Said he wanna be
One day he's gonna be
Said he wanna be
Shorties gonna be a Thug

Verse 1: 2Pac

Was a nice middle class nigga
But no one knew
The evil he'd do
When he got a little bigger
Get off the final blaze
While puffing on a Newport
Plottin' on a another way to catch a case
Was only sixteen, yet
Convicted as a felon
With a bunch of old niggas
But you the only one who ain't telling
I tell you it's a cold world, stay in school
You tell me its a man's world, play the rules
And fade fools, break rules until we major
Blaze up
Getting with hoes through my pager
Was raised up
Commencing to money makin' tactics, uh
It's getting drastic, niggas got automatics
My fingers on the trigga
Tell the Lord make way for another straight thug nigga
I'm sitting getting buzzed
Looking for some love from the homies
Cause shorty wanna be a Thug

Chorus

Verse 2: 2Pac

Straight from the Hall to the Penn
An adolescent nigga scaling weight out here at 6' 10"
He carried weight like a mack truck
Gonna bust on playa haters
(hahaha)
If them mothafuckas act tough
Then that's when, a lethal weapon with a razor
This little nigga
Smoking weed and getting blazed up
No one could figure, when the guns blast pull the trigga
Could take the life of a young nigga cause he bigger
No mother and father
You see the niggas all alone
Old timers my role model, the wars on
Been laced with this game 'til it's a part of me
My heart don't beat no fear
And it ain't hard to see
The future's looking dim
I'm trying to make a profit out of living in this sin
I'm in the dark getting buzzed
Looking for some love out with the homies
Cause shorty wanna be a thug

Chorus

Shorty gonna be a thug

Tupac Talking

You little bad ass nigga
To the young niggas
Gotta stay sharp nigga
Play your part
You got plenty of time
(you bad mothafuckas)
You only get three mistakes and then that's life big baby
(Them niggas craaazy)
Watch the signs
Damn, you ain't but sixteen nigga?
Sixteen?!?!
That's some bad mothafucker's
