Tupac Life's so hard (original) Lyrics

Ma-ah-an, it ain't easy
They got me goin cold-hearted
Probation, violation, incarceration
Frustration, you know
f___ that, n____ d___ near bouts to start basin
It's hard! Hard on a n____
[coughing]
Hard on a n____ (yeah it is, yeah it is)
[whispered] Kill kill kill, murder murder murder
Watch out n____!

[Chorus:] Now tell me do you see
Life's so hard on a n____ when you livin like a G
[repeat 2X]

[Tupac - chorus 2X throughout]
Daz in this m_________er
Alright bwoy, drop that s___
Whassup man? Always listen to that s___?
That ole criminal s___? Peep game n____, peep game, feel me

[Verse One:]

Travel through my mind am I blind it's a shame
Young n____z gettin murdered straight took out the game
As I sit here puffin on a cigarette
Gotta be ready, never know who's plottin on a n____z death
These are the rough times, best to hurry up
and duck muhfucker 'fore I buck mine
It's gettin crazy and everybody's strapped
Surrounded by n____z but nary a m_________er down to watch my back
These are the b____ made n____z, you been played n____
While you starvin and broke they pullin six figures
Oooh, what can you do
when you can't trust your crew, time to bust out the twenty-two
Boo-yaow! Ran out of weed, so I'm sippin
on this Hennesey, tell me, do you feel me?
Heyyy, I have no remorse
as I take another sip of my liquor and spit my sick thoughts, oooh

[Chorus]

[Verse Two:]

Thuggin to the fullest, got my strap, I'ma pull it
I'm the first muhfucker that can outrun a bullet
It's them Thug Life n____z, them done like triggers
Got these punk wannabes and they jockin like b____es
Now my riches is gettin hoe-zone, it's on
f___ a mystery, do you wanna get with me, then let's bone
I'ma take her to my hideout, cause I'm smokin that spinach
and stayin strong to the finish and then I ride out
See you on the freeway, sorry baby
but I gotta call my homey see what he say
I ain't got no time, I gotta get mine
I keep my mind on my loot, I'll shoot everytime
And ain't no way I'ma let b____ made n____ worry me
Catch me slippin, empty the clip and bury me
Hell nah n____ have to plug me twice
Ain't no slippin when you Thug for Life, m_________er can you see?

[Chorus 2X]

[Verse Three:]

Never bow down let these other b____es crawl
I'm a Thug m_________er and these Thugs only ball
Ain't no half steppin here, from the cradle to the grave
I'm a muhfuckin fool, but I choose to get paid
Now my pockets gettin empty, and I'm panicked in a fright
Me and my b____ named Nina are fiendin tonight
Ain't nobody livin safe, got a Glock, and I'm stressin
All I want is my muhfuckin money, ain't no question
Don't try to stall little trick, cause we hit
So bring in the scissors and get to clippin that d___
I'd rather die young than die old and broke
That's why I stay drunk, and I constantly smoke
My memories as a youngsta, hangin with the homies
But now I'm doin bad and them b____es don't know me (Who? Who?)
But playa haters can't fade me (Why?)
Cause this is Thug Life n____ and we're crazy, tell me do you see?

[Chorus 2X]

[Verse Four:]

Yeah, constantly runnin from danger ain't no stranger to cop cars
Gettin arrested and tested wearin a vest and don't drop my guards
My life is hectic my homies send mail from jail
n____z in Hell got some horrible stories to tell
I'm catchin cases and still tryin to stack a grip
The IRS is tryin to stress off a n____z s___
A young n____ never had a prayer to prevail
And all my peers doin years locked up in jail
What can I do, stay strapped, get a bigger crew
And creep around with them Dogg Pound n____z too
And now we rich ain't no b____ than can touch us
And it's a trip, how we clown, when we f___ s___s
Bust nuts then I cut, that's my new thang
And m_________ers got on do-rags

[Chorus 2X]

Can I get paid, can I get paid, can I m_________in get paid
n____ can work for his money all m_________in day and
still never see a piece of it, you understand me?
It's not about the nice guy
It's bout the hardworkin m_________in Thug n____
If you ain't a Thug n____, you ain't really doin nothin
[Chorus repeats in background]
You ain't really makin nothin
These m_________in po-po's and these pink folks
got it all locked up for us to fail
See how they did O.J., and they doin n____z like that all day
So if you don't watch your m_________in stack
believe me, this could be your last breath
