[verse 1]
If it wasn't for the Hennesey
and thug livin' for my enemy
my brother still be alive and apart of me
so I, say a prayer for that playa
and I, take my fire everywhere, see
Its kinda hard when you missin' yo' dawgs
another name on the wall

yes I be livin though
dead and gone befo' we twenty fo'
or in jail but cha'll don't here me though
is this world about to end
if not then explain to me, how come I'm losin my friends
and why I'm livin' wit my kid
and why I'm fifty grand short from gettin' me a brand new benz
its kinda hard for the black man
I watch the million man march for the black man
and through the sun and rain
I love enjoyin' pain
I know we be livin' strange but we'll maintain hey

[chorus]
I'm doin' this one for the thugs
and the niggas on the corner sellin' drugs

For the thugs and the boys in the city much love
for the thugs yes sir
For the thugs
and the dogs in the grove much love

[verse 2]
See, I, I, gotta called from the crib
my dawg got killed
gotta all my homies in tears
and we don't know who the killas is
it could of been the lick
it could of been the hit
I 'on't know we stayed in some shit so
we put his face on a shirt
and shedded tears for the game
(a thug in memory boy)
'cause it's hard to hide the pain
they teach us some better thangs
the shoes his mama a back 'cause she could use the change
that's how you ride for yo dogs, shit
ride or roll take sides for yo dog
suppose to die for your dogs, shit
hard time in gangsta livin'
and got us villain chillin'
try to start no crossin' me and you so
and you cry for yo' dogs
Hell, I don't understand
man, I say a prayer to all of y'all
and for the cause
for my motherfuckin' dogs
Nigga!

[chorus]
I'm doin' this one for the thugs
and the niggas on the corner sellin drugs

For the thugs
and the niggas Overtown sellin' drugs
for the thugs yes sir
For the thugs
and my Carol City niggas much love
for my thugs yes sir
For the thugs

[verse 3]
If it was a hundred dollar bill

under oath baby girl would you lie for me

or do it all for me
Huh?

[chorus]
I'm doin' this one for the thugs

I'm doin' this one for the thugs
and the niggas on the corner sellin' drugs
for the thugs yes sir
For the thugs
