Thug Life
By D.L.
When you walking in your mom house
And you ain’t got nothing in the refrigerator
And now it to the street to bust block
Sell crack in the trap house
Mama crying wishing her baby was home
And now he in the life of drugs
Doing everything under the sun
And all you hear is thug life
That all we know
