Thugs Prayer - Roc Marciano

Yeah, yeah, come on

Peace my nigga

That’s what I’m talkin' about

Shed a thug’s tear, say a thug prayer

Put money in my mom’s hand

Yo, we took money, put ‘em under the study

Went from skinny to chubby in the city that’s gully

Back again, it’s the hideous, ugly gritty McGillicutty

Put the squeeze on a nigga like Silly Putty

Keep the arm chunky, fingers is heavy, plus (what else?)

The ring sparkle in your grill like 7 Up

In the Lexus truck, dressed up, word to Dapper Dan

Gold bands on the hand like Shazam (damn!)

Throw a thunderbolt, rappers will somersault (uh-huh)

Pelle’s butter soft, crabs in butter sauce

Perhaps let a couple off, skin bubble off

Hustlin' soft, up in the loft

Ain’t no love lost (nah), just thug lords and drug wars (uh-huh)

Big butt whores to crush raw (get ‘em)

Hit dust blunts and eight-inch pumps

Dick sucked, they ain’t make faces crunch, the clutch got paper cuts (ugh)

Nothing is sacred to us, whether it be cake crust

Grape nuts, no bacon deluxe

As if niggas is duct taped up and mistaken for lunch

My stomach been aching for months (come on)

Hands shakin' while I’m making this up, blazin' a dutch

Turning the pages in my book

Where cocaine is cooked we stay put, slang drugs there

We say a thug’s prayer

Yeah, shed a thug’s tear, say a thug’s prayer

Uh, yeah, Monster Crack, remember that?

We was young like Similac, hustle to get a stack

Fuck giving back, ain’t nobody give me jack (nothin')

So a couple niggas got jacked, bitches got smacked (come on)

We was in black filling up gym bags

Money spilling out, spinning out, quick, fast

Live for the day, cause my time’ll come and pass (one day)

Will I go out in a blast, or will I outlast?

(I wonder)

Niggas before me that found death early was done dirty

And most were under 30 got hit in the jersey (damn)

To call a man’s momma when he pass ain’t easy

When she screaming «Lord have mercy!»

(damn)

Have you ever lost a close homie?

And have to see him cold on a gurney?

(hmm)

You’re not alone on your journey

Time heals all wounds, that’s what my nigga Zo told me

But yet I feel so lonely (thug's prayer)

Yeah, shed a thug’s tear, and say a thug’s prayer
