(Have you ever seen a thug cry?)
Have you ever seen that shit?
You notice when the thug cry, like
(You can see the pain, and you see it in my eyes) ay
you feel the pain
Like I can see that shit in the eyes
′Cause like they strong
you know what I'm sayin′ (I've been hurt and I can cry)
Ay when a thug cry like
Really like (but I know, I know)
His heart is playin' (we′ll survive)
Least it got a beat, and you feel it all
you know what I′m sayin'

Takin′ off on a plane, why I elevate (why I elevate)
Tryna find my peace of mind
see them meditate (see them meditate)
I'm done tryna save the day, I turned in my cape (I′m done)
One, two shots, for all the ones I love was in my way

You can feel the pain when a thug cry (you can feel it)
When your lovin' hurt so bad
and I wonder why (and I wonder why)
We all promised one thing
livin′ just to die (we all gotta die)
I swear it ain't right when a thug cry

I remember back when my brother
was on the phone with Rio (Rio)
Sayin' he needed to find a plug
he was searchin′ for a chico (who that?)
Still I wanted to be like that
my brother walk around with rats
He toss the packs outside my window
was not true, I′m speakin' facts (facts)
So I found my own trio, me and Trae, lil′ bro (lil' bro)
We runnin′ through the tracks
held the gun, scraped through the peephole

Why half of these dreams have Shyla
in these streets where it matter (matter)
And the track where they swing the dough
On the stove where they cookin' dope (facts)
For when the day that I die
the day they don′t need me no
more (they don't need me no more)
Then that's the day that I cried
when I lost lil′ bro (when I lost lil′ bro)
You could see the fire in my eyes
when my first body went ghost
I don't give a fuck ′bout what they say
my bitch badder than Monroe (facts)

Rumour kickin' through them dough
tryna scrape money on the flow (gimme that)
And I came up on a poll
and the night that I let it blow (boom)
When I sold my first gram, when I served my first O (Migo)
When I popped my stick at them
boy for payin′ me for a ho (grr)
Put on my big boy shoes
ran with that chopper through that smoke
On the corner, Reek and Mill
when I was posted on the 'fore (′fore)
That's where I meant Three, that's where I met Squee (Squee)
That′s where I meant Spoo, Izzy and YB (YB)

Lil′ bro gave me a couple dollars
when he seen me, what's hidin′ me back
Still ain't no payment for my charge
you know time was scarce
The night trigger
I said I remember that shit like yesterday
I was screamin′, "Say somethin'
say somethin′" he almost died in my face

Takin' off on a plane and I elevate (and I elevate)
Tryna find my peace of mind
see them meditate (see them meditate)
I'm done tryna save the day
I turned in my cape (I turned in my cape)
One, two shots, for all the ones I love
was in my way (I love was in my way)

You can feel the pain when a thug cry
When your lovin′ hurt so bad
and I wonder why (and I wonder why)
We all promised one thing, livin′ just to die
I swear it ain't right when a thug cry (when a thug cry)

When a thug cry
You can feel the pain when a thug cry
You can feel the pain when a thug cry
