Ballad Of A Dead Soulja lyrics

When thugs cry..
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my guns to keep
If I die before I wake
I pray the Lord my soul to take
God (?), when thugs cry, too much is hard

[2Pac]
Born thuggin and lovin the way I came up
Big money clutchin, bustin while evadin cocaine busts
My pulse rushin, send my (?) into insanity
Shout at my cousin now we bustin if they yo` family
The coppers wanna see me buried, I ain`t worried
I got a line on the D.A. cause I`m fuckin his secretary
I black out and start cussin, bust `em and touch `em all
They panic and bitches duckin, I rush `em and fuck `em all
I`ll probably be an old man before I understand
why I had to live my life with pistols close at hand
Kidnapped my homey`s sister, cut her face up bad
They even raped so we blazed they pad
Automatic shots rang out, on every block
They puttin hits out on politicians, even cops, I ain`t lyin
They got me sleepin with my infrared beams
And in my dreams I hear motherfuckers screamin
What is the meaning, when thugs cry?

[Chorus: singers]
Oh why, children send your child off to die
In the streets of chalk where they lie
Let no wrongs cry out when thugs cry
Dear God..
Oh why, does it have to be this way, our
children of today won`t stay wise
Let the children hear when thugs cry
Dear God.. oh why..
