[Chorus: Layzie (Wish) {Bizzy}]
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
|
(Even though I'm makin moneyyyyy)
|
{Gotta do what I, do what I, do what I, do what I do}
|
Gotta struggle, gotta hustle, gotta do what I do
|
(Even though I'm makin moneyyyyy)
|
{Gotta do what I, do what I do}
|
Gotta struggle, gotta hustle, gotta do what I do
|
|
[Layzie Bone]
|
And I believe, that we must confront the past
|
in order to capitalize on the future
|
Because in our present times and turmoils, it is inevitable
|
So focus, did you hear what I said?
|
I said focus, on our children
|
We must, concentrate on education, and pride
|
Not only mental development, but physical development
|
So that we can stand united, and kick our enemies ASS! (that's right)
|
Can I get a witness?
|
Now time is of the essence, so stand tall, chest out, chin up
|
Be proud to be a part of this nation of thugs
|
And remember one thing, that the clock is tickin!
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Wish Bone]
|
First off, I wanna know, how many people really believe in the Lord?
|
Because if you don't, I think you need to start headin for the exit
|
Because what I'm 'bout to say is just real, it's too real
|
Like me and my dogs Bone Thugs, you know what I'm sayin?
|
Hey! Why every time we get mad
|
I mean when we get mad, why we tear up our own SHIT?
|
That don't make no damn sense!
|
We gotta get it together, you know what I'm sayin? Wooo!
|
I think I'd do anything for my babies cause I love my children
|
I brought them here, I give them, I feed them, and they mine
|
And we bringin you the Thugs nation
|
An organization of nothin but thugs, nothin but THUGS!
|
We are, we are, the Thug, nation!
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Bizzy Bone]
|
Soldiers! All praise is due to the creator, first and foremost
|
I would like to read to you out of the book of Babylon
|
Chapter one, it is written in Braille
|
What you feel tonight is not just anger my children (yeah!)
|
It is not just oppression (yeah!)
|
It is not confusion, it is solution (yeah!)
|
The same ghetto in which we have been institutionalized in
|
has become our training camps
|
And the minister of defense is here to you tonight
|
To tell you that the target is no longer our brothers and sisters (yeah!)
|
It is no longer our children (yeah!)
|
Tonight is not the beginning, it is the rejuvenation of a revolution
|
The revolution that our mothers and our fathers have abandoned us (yeah!)
|
So I will struggle with you, I will take council with you (yeah)
|
I will eat with you
|
And may God be with all of his soldiers
|
I said, may God be with all of his soldiers! (YEAH!)
|
But without the creator then this isn't possible
|
Without further adieux, I bring to you, Chief LeathaFace (yeah)
|
My friend, and your chief
|
|
[Krayzie Bone]
|
Now where my thugs at?
|
I said, where my goddamn thugs at?! (Right here nigga!)
|
Now what we tryin to organize here today
|
is more than just a gang of niggaz
|
We tryin to organize more than just a posse of niggaz
|
We tryin to organize a goddamn army
|
(Thug nation nigga, Thug motherfuckin Thug nation, Thug nation!)
|
Now we them niggaz gon' keep it real
|
while these other bitch niggaz keep it fake
|
We gon' let them motherfuckers know what's goin on down here
|
in the goddamn streets; can I get a "Hell yeah" (hell motherfuckin yeah!)
|
... Now I gotta say, the mission is to make money
|
The enemy is the police, Mr. Fed, Mr. CIA (fuck the Feds!)
|
Mr. Wanna-See-Yo'-Thug-Ass-in-Jail (fuck that)
|
I think it's time we start patrollin the police
|
And let them see how it feels, to be up under surveillance
|
Let them see how it feels, to have THEY phone tapped
|
Let them see how it feels
|
to have a strange guard inside yo' motherfuckin house
|
We 'bout to ride
|
|
[Chorus - repeat 2X (second repeat minus first line)]
|
|
[Bizzy Bone - over Chorus]

Fuck the police (fuck the police)
