[ verse 1 ]
Everybody in the ghetto tell me...
Is it a lie that i must be a ruffneck
And wear a frown just to be down?
I kinda don`t agree with bein (tough)
But you gotta be (rough)
It`s either you claimin your hood, or you`re not a gee
Forget about respect, i refuse to be the next guy
Fitted for a casket, either with it, or get blasted
I choose to gangbang, they give me a chrome-plated trigger
Say, "if you got any heart, go rob that mini-mart, nigga"
Now look what i done did, damn, i had to be the big man
They`re lookin at me shifty, better shut up `fore i get slammed
Man, i`m not a thief, good grief, and i don`t wanna act hard
But then they said if i didn`t do it, they was gonna gat, far
As i could see (i was gonna be)
The next new member of the crew, cause it`s 8 of them and 1 of me
I don`t wanna do it, but i will
Cause i still want folks to think that i`m hard and tough
Cause you gotta be (rough)
Cause you gotta be (tough)
Cause you gotta be (rough)
(i used to be a stick-up kid)
[ verse 2 ]
Well, it`s the niggeroe, again, right back in where i left off
Still tryin to make a decision, i might go to prison if i don`t step off
But if i don`t rob this store, then i`m not sure
If i`m gonna be considered as a gee
And you gotta be (rough)
Cuffs are temporary, homies are for life
So i grab the deuce-deuce and go inside
I decide to prove in the mini-mart, "don`t nobody move
Start fillin up the paper sack with loot, or i might shoot"
But things didn`t go as planned, cause this man had his own gun
We`re standin toe to toe, eye to eye, so i figured why not
Pull the trigger? put this nigga on the ground
It`ll show that i had poise, then my boy`ll know i`m down
But i didn`t do it quick enough, or he thought of it first
Cause he blasted to the chest, and now i`m restin yellin, "nurse!"
And holdin on to life, or at least tryin to hold on
In a jailward wearin cuffs
Cause i had to be (rough)
Cause you gotta be (tough)
Cause you gotta be (rough)
(i used to be a stick-up kid)
And everybody, everybody gotta be rough, y`all
(i used to be a stick-up kid)
And everybody, everybody gotta be tough, y`all
(i used to be a stick-up kid)
[ verse 3 ]
Well, that`s the end of my tale, but before we know
Fools`ll just forget what i said, and the story go
On and on, until you`re up to no good
And back throwin up your hood
And still doin what you shouldn`t
Niggeroes, come together, cause divided we fall
So stall that gang shit, stand up
Quit standin in handcuffs
Really hard`s when you got loot
And you ain`t gotta shoot
Damn man, enough is enough
So why you gotta be (rough)
Cause you gotta be (tough)
Cause you gotta be (rough)
