Why We Thugs Lyrics - Laugh Now, Cry Later - Ice Cube

Yeah 

Every hood's the same 

Every hood's the same 

Come on 

They give us guns and drugs 

Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs 

They wanna count the slugs 

Then come around here and fuck with us 

They give us guns and drugs 

Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs 

They wanna count the slugs 

Then come around here and fuck with us

I'm from the land of the gang bang 

Since I was little, ain't a god damn thang changed 

It's the same ole same 

Bush run shit like Saddam Hussein 

I cock and aim, clinically insane 

To deal with this bullshit day to day 

If I sell some yay or smoke some hay 

You bitches wanna throw me up in Pelican's Bay 

Call me an animal up in the system 

But who's the animal that built this prison? 

Who's the animal that invented lower living? 

The projects, thank god for Russell Simmons 

Thank god for Sugarhill 

I'm putting a different kind of steel up to my grille 

Y'all know what it is, scared for your own kids 

How these ghetto niggaz taken over showbiz 

Photos 

They give us guns and drugs 

Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs 

They wanna count the slugs 

Then come around here and fuck with us 

They give us guns and drugs 

Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs 

They wanna count the slugs 

Then come around here and fuck with us 

It's Boyz in the Hood, it's toys in the hood 

Y'all wanna know why it's noise in the hood? 

'Cause there's drugs in the hood, thugs in the hood 

Nigga killed a crip and a blood in the hood, for real 

'Cause when niggaz get tribal 

It's all about survival, nobody liable 

I got caught by a five-o 

Grandmama came to court with her bible 

But when the judge hit the gavel 

Now I'm too far from my family to travel 

I just came unraveled 

Socked the D.A. before I got gaffled 

Owned by C.A., state property 

Just like the year fifteen fifty three 

Looking for me, a one-way ticket out 

Don't understand, what's so hard to figure out 

They give us guns and drugs 

Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs 

They wanna count the slugs 

Then come around here and fuck with us 

They give us guns and drugs 

Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs 

They wanna count the slugs 

Then come around here and fuck with us 

Damn, I can't take the pressure 

Pulled the forty-four up out the dresser 

Grabbed the weight up out the closet 

Po-po coming but I'm scared to toss it 

Y'all know what happened last time I lost it 

Can't tell you niggaz what the fuckin' boss did 

The game got a nigga exhausted 

Gotta go for the plea bargain they offered 

Twenty years for what? 

Breaking these laws that's so corrupt 

Taking these halls and fillin' 'em up 

Some powder keg shit that's about to erupt 

Ay y'all, I'm about to be stuck 

Until the year two thousand, what the fuck? 

In the hood, don't press your luck 

'Cause these motherfuckers will set you up, word up 

They give us guns and drugs 

Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs 

They wanna count the slugs 

Then come around here and fuck with us 

They give us guns and drugs 

Then wonder why in the fuck we thugs 

They wanna count the slugs 

Then come around here and fuck with us 

Every hood's the same 

Every hood's the same 

Every hood's the same 

Every hood's the same 

Every hood's the same 

Stop trippin' on it 

Every hood's the same 

Every hood's the same 

Every hood's the same 

Every hood's the same 

Every hood's the same
