Life of a Thug By Ras Joe

Life of a Thug
I'm crazy, misguided
And Don't Give a f***
My Ways, My Walk, MY Talk
Are Examples of My Don't Care Attitude
That's Right I don't Care about Nothin
Cause I'm Tough, Rough
And the Weak on My Street Fear Me
Yeah Man When I walk Down the Street
Niggas Move
But it ain't cause ah dah lastest groove
But they Move Cause I am Nigga to Fear
You see I ain't got no respect for nothin,
Not Even Self
Or Either the people Around Me
Man I wear some grimy ass shit
Cause I'm a grimy ass nigga
And So Called Normal People Don't Understand Me
But They'll Start to Understand
When I pull the nine from my waist band
and start to fire non-stop
Pop, Pop, Pop
A Brother Falls, A Sista Falls
Then I run into the alley
Thinkin Yeah Nigga Yah Did it
But then the Sound of the Sirens Close End
I'm alone with no friends
And I start to feel afraid
Now I'm Scared
Oh Yes I'm Scared
Cause I thought thug life was glamorous
And then My Conscious Starts to Trap Me
Oh Shit Oh Shit
What Have I Done
Thinking Before I did this Thug Life was fun
Then I continue to run and I run
Years later I finally awaken
In A Jail Cell
No Different From Hell
And Ask What Could I have Done

Nice poem Ras, showing through your words that being a thug aint it all it is depicted to be and the consequences and hardships and punishment u face for takin on a role as a thug, Bless up Ras and keep em coming

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become reality.
