Live by the sword, die by the sword
|
Believe in the Lord, and the laws of the Lord
|
And when you ride for the cause, keep an eye on the cause
|
You ever lose sight, and you blind as a mole
|
We must decide if they rise, decide if they fall
|
Alive with the light, you can shine on 'em all
|
We all designed to be strong, sometimes we'll be right
|
And sometimes we'll be wrong, we must weather the storm
|
It's the design of it all, we'll never know it all
|
Just love one another and honor father and mother
|
When you kind ?, with hate you'll never know
|
It's crawled up outta the gutter, the thoughts the spirit help us
|
When you find you're in a hole, you search you're inner soul
|
You search to get the truth, and you find you're way to go
|
It's the design of it all, you'll find what it means
|
A struggle to succeed when life is like a dream
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
That's why the thugs never cry (thugs never cry)
|
From the thunder and rain, just look into my eyes
|
That's why the thugs never cry (thugs never cry)
|
The world is a ghetto, we gots to stay alive
|
That's why the thugs never cry (thugs never cry)
|
We're hoping for change and puffin' on some ?
|
That's why the thugs never cry (thugs never cry)
|
Bizzy is back, only the strong survive
|
|
So wipe the tears with a sleave, and just 'cause you believe
|
One day you gon have what you want, you gonna be
|
When the winds don't blow, and God don't make mo'
|
Keep an eye on the stone, and oh, just remember
|
The world gets dark, and you carry your heart
|
Just open up your eyes, and insipre the whole art
|
From the birds to the bees, the snakes and the trees
|
The lakes and the sea, and the brakes in the sea
|
And when the tide ships down, and nobody's around
|
Ain't nothing to be found, and uh... I don't make a sound
|
No nobody and no preasance and yes you can be in the essence
|
Of creation in the making and the patiance of the Satans
|
Ever blessings queen, message to a king, and a gift to a prince
|
Like a gift to a ring, for the love of a slave
|
Yes Adam and Eve, a slave that loved God before she bit the tree
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
If you do then you're damned, you don't then you're damned
|
You ever been in that situation without a plan?
|
And if you tried and you can't
|
Just get up out the streets, and hustle to get your money
|
And make sure that you be that
|
I go to church and see sin, get punched in the chin
|
And a brother saves his brother, you'll never do it again
|
And the child drinking Hen, and you're mad at his dad
|
I'm in the army just to keep this whole world in harmony
|
It ain't nothing like Shaq, whose dad walked out
|
Who never knew he'd grow and rise and make it out
|
It's like God and the sun, a flower and a bun
|
A tower and a plane, that never destroyed none
|
It's the design of it all, the time of it all
|
The crime of it all, and the life of it all
|
Pick up your eyes to the sky, and never ask why
|
You really know the answers and I
|
|
[Chorus]
|
