-Chorus-
It's so ruff, it's so tuff out here baby (Some of hustle nine to five, got to them ends meet) It's so ruff, it's so tuff out here baby (Some of us hustle on the block thuggin' runnin' from the cop, cop, cop)

1999 is over, we made it/ Trooped it like true soldiers and hoped that we can find Jehovah/ Can't believe it, we the niggas still breathin' so we gon' have a celebration wake up this evening/ 2000, lots of wilin' I'm just glad that me and my dawgs made it/ Shed a few tears cauze some of my niggas ain't make it/ See all of my niggas cannot shake Satan's curse so baby they left there in a herse/ Let's take a moment of silence (Shh) and give thanks you still here and you ain't became that victim of violence/ I done so much dirt that I thought I'd be a gonner but I guess I was blessed, clever enough to beat the corner/ If you alive and a surviver nigga bust (Buck buck) Pour out some niggas no longer with us, we still miss you/ And we gon' keep on doin' our thang and keep your memory in the brain and maintain, it's thug luv
-Chorus-

Now I done been around the world and I seen many thugs, black and white, boys and girls, people pumpin' they fist up/ It's niggas everywhere stuck in the hood man, it ain't a good thang cauze niggas ain't eatin like they should/ Can't sleep, and every time we think we finna get up strong on our feet, here come the police and a case we can't beat but that's the streets/ You live and you don't play by the rules/ And you better stick and move, hit the fence, we livin' proof true/ If you look into the eyes of a ghetto surviver you can see all this troubles and this pain gainin' everythang goin' on in this world/ Daddy can't feed the kiddies, he been feelin' kinda shitty bout that/ So what he gon' do about that go and get the pump pump... and go and get him some... Guess you can say he out there doin' his thang but he failed to keep it sane and maintain, he fucked up, fucked up
-Chorus-

You got to keep strugglin' you got to keep hustlin' if you want somethin'you never stop strugglin' cauze if you stop hustlin' you won't get nothin' (And I'm a make my money... if it means I gotta take my money...) And this world crazy, it's crazy/ Congratulations if you make it/ And we gon' dedicate it to all of ya'll/ East, West, North, South, nigga all my dawgs/ Keepin' it thuggish and real, they thuggin' the steal, smokin' bud on the hill/ And I love it, it's trill shit/ We tryin' to make it all the way/ To the top, it don't stop until the profit in my pocket/ Crept and came up cauze I was doin' my thang/ And you know it's all the same, I maintain, it's thug luv... yeah
-Chorus-
