Lyrics
[Verse 1]
****, we doin' this shit from Cleveland to LA
****, whatever you **** want, we bringin' it
Thug Luv, ****
What time is it?
[Verse 2]
I don't give a fuck where you lay at
****, it's time to slay these bitch-made ****
They ain't even knowing what type of **** we is
Where my guns at?
Bone Thugs-n-Harmony
I know you **** been waitin' for this for a long time
Well, here it is, ****
Here it is, what you gon' do with it?
[Verse 3]
Well, it most be close to the Armageddon
Lord, know that I won't fly by that lesson
You taught me to pull out my Wesson, you brought me
And I'm not stressing it softly
Get 'em up off me, 'cause all we wanted was harmony
Been bombing 'em
Yell up out of my ghetto
I won't settle, get on my level
They can't stop me and pop me
****, they got me? Fuck no
Little 'Pac gets schizophrenic, let's manage to damage all y'all
[Verse 4]
I'll talk about 'em, and you don't really want it
'Cause they're cornered, and I'm want 'em to not jump
I'd rather say that we came to shut 'em all down
So quick to test, bullet, yes, declare war
Roll, I'll flow when I get the gun for the murder
More horror
Why? They did it all, pause for the cause
And I finna to pull a 9 or pistol, and lit a **** with mine
Fuck them ****, it's on
[Verse 5]
All y'all fall, Bizzy getting bitches to test me
Bless the floor, and any attempt to arrest me, stress me
Lord, looking at death with the last of my breath
Follow, follow, my kids
No, don't sin in my steps
Yet the weapon is kept with the best of my secrets
Deep in the reach, I'm alone
****, believe that I can see it
If needed and if you really with me
And well then let it be, get the greens and we running up over Cleveland
[Verse 6]
Whats poppin', ****?
Put your muhfucking hands on your strap, ****
Thug Luv, ****
Yeah, we can do this like this gangstas and slug it out
Or do this like punks and punk it out
Pull your strap on me, ****, you better kill me
Thug life, baby
Thug Luv
[Verse 7]
I'll probably be punished for hard living, blind to the facts
Thugs is convicts in God's prison, hands on the strap
Praying, so Father, please forgive me
Police be rushing when they see me
I flaunt it, America's Most Wanted, live on TV
Life, pleasure and pain, stuck in this game, holler my name
We all gon' die, we bleed through similar veins
Please explain to me, now
Don't panic when my guns burst
Heard the last jam?
****, this one's worse
My **** Bone held the chrome till I came home
Thug Luv, players, tell these bitch **** bring it on
I caught a plane out to Cleveland late last evening
To help my **** clean up some **** no longer breathin'
Now, who do you believe in?
Hit the weed and breathe
It's a cold ass world, **** kill you in your sleep
Watch me until they stop me, bury, murder me or drop me
I got Thug Luv for my nationwide posse, feel me
[Verse 8]
Little thug from the land, **** never ran
Motherfuckas out to get me, they don't understand
It's the number one **** out with a nation of ****
Down to put in some work and do some dirt
Fuckin' around with the band Bone Thugs-n-Harmony
Follow down the road, we stroll to meet karma
Everything I do, it seem to cause drama
Ready for the war like a knight in my armor, bomb ya
So quick to test us, **** wanna press me, eat dust
For the love of the lust, **** busting on us
Hit 'em up with the buck, 12-gauge eruptions
[Verse 9]
It's my Art of War, putting **** on the floor
When I'm coming through the door, bringing nothing but terror
'Causing much pain to the **** that dared us
Tried to put a twist in this thugsta era, paired up
With a **** like Pac, and a **** like me, gotta stay high
Thug Luv till I die, keep my prayer to the sky
But I'm still in the hood, smoke and fry
So I beg the Lord to save us all, escapers of misery
Bless my **** in penitentiaries, soldiers of the century, yeah
[Verse 10]
Here to get it, told my **** they need get down
Down with the dirt, and we don't fuck around
Buck a couple of rounds and if you're passing through
Then hit the ground and don't get caught up in the crossfire, ****
Artillery thick, and you don't wanna get to fucking with this
I'm straight devil, not a punk and pretend
I reload, and buck a little mo'
Flee the scene 'fore the po-po even know
(So, who ya looking for?) They don't know
A motherfucka with a leather face
Hey, man, she said, I ran this a-way, said, I ran that a-way
Ya hoes'll never know because I got away
A criminal mind to keep a **** on the level
Sometimes I get high and analyze your crime
Correctly organized and with results, you'll be surprised
[Verse 11]
Oh, ****, can you feel the vibe? We can ride
Playa hatin' ****, you gots to die, it's only right
It's over with Bone, better leave it alone
Mo Thugs come crack their fuckin' domes
Still in the hood, where the thugs play
Fuckin' with nothing but thugs, mane
Ain't taking no shorts or no losses
We cracking them domes around my way
[Verse 12]
Give it to 'em on another level, ****, get a shovel
You can dig a hole, bitches is dead
Infrared to your head
You can beg, you can fled
But still gonna bleed bloody red
Fuck with mine, we'll be seen in the moonlight
'Cause we out riding, looking for you
Better run for cover, ****, duck
We about to bust
[Verse 13]
Straight got the infrared, put it on his forehead
Make some moves, send flowers straight to his home
Put a card in the motherfucka, send it to his mama
Tell her he was dead wrong, dead wrong
Now he long gone, long gone
[Verse 14]
Pac, Pac, run with us, run with us, run with us
Pac, Pac, run with us
Pac and Rip with Thug Luv
Pac, Pac, run with us, run with us, run with us
Pac, Pac, run with us
Pac and Rip with Thug Luv
Pac, Pac, run with us, run with us, run with us
Pac, Pac, run with us
Pac and Rip with Thug Luv
Pac, Pac, run with us, run with us, run with us
Pac, Pac, run with us
Pac and Rip with Thug Luv
