Thug Is A Drug Lyrics - True Magic - Mos Def

Quick question 

You ever felt like the realest nigga alive? 

Felt too pretty or powerful to die? 

Tell the truth, 

You ever felt ugly enough to cry? 

Have you ever begged for mercy? 

Have you ever wished you died? 

Tell the truth 

Have you ever taken pride in the crime? 

Been too hungry to break down or hide? 

Felt low down dirty? Or super duper high? 

Or contemplated murder, robbery, or suicide? 

Tell the truth 

Taken medicine for trouble in your mind? 

Or taken down a number? For taking up a scheme? 

I made her wild, beautiful take her 'til she skeet? 

Take her to the penthouse or take her to the skreet? 

Tell the Truth 

So the waterman he take it to the beat 

And I take it to the 'mic 

So we takin' what we like 

Take it to your neck 

We gon' take it to the bank 

Triple X, Killa K 

Black we take it to your face 

Like, G "Bank bank" 

Gangsta, birth sign is danger 

It's like thug is the drug 

That make 'em fall in love 

When love don't love nobody 

Bank, bank 

Gangsta, star sign is danger 

It's like thug is the drug 

Ready rock, steady pump 

Man they leanin' and they fiendin' 

Cause they can't get enough 

The Dee-Jay play this song in the dance 

And every buggy on the block got the tune on blast 

The TV is like the radio with visuals too 

So shiny, so gutter, mean moody and cool 

Tell the truth 

They might be doing things that you wanna' do 

You fantasize as they be living it through 

The big home with the beautiful view 

You have a swim in the pool, and get fresh 

And take a spin in the coupe 

Tell the truth 

You probably want to feel the world in your palm 

While hold a gun in your hand 

And make 'em know you a star 

Tell the truth 

And there's those who probably already are 

They well known in they zone 

Or they town or they block 

Tell the truth 

Then there's the rest who are usually not 

And the heavy dose of thug feel like all that they got 

So they ready to rock, R-r-rock 

Gangsta, birth sign is danger 

It's like thug is the drug 

That make 'em fall in love 

When love don't love nobody 

Bank, bank 

Gangsta, star sign is danger 

It's like thug is the drug 

Ready rock, steady pump 

Man they leanin' and they fiendin' 

Cause they can't get enough
