Y'know what I mean? This for the woman y'know what'm sayin? Coming up just 
Trying to get a nut. y'all really understand what we doing. Ya know? y'all 
Understand that we hurting y'all y'all come attatched. It's all good. This 
One for y'all y'know what I mean? Yo ya know? Its crazy. We all together. 

I used to cut pies in front of my girl, now I apologized 
The reason why: (My fault) she seen the red in my eyes 
When I was cuttin it, feelin like the archives 
Choppin it down, thinkin I'm, choosing my prize 
Never hit the street with out my heat, boo, told me not to 
Said, "Paps, we know the jake 'ill try to knock you" 
You do your thing, boo, I'll still be there, don't mean to knock you 
I know its hard fuckin with a thug nigga like me 
Thinkin would I get locked? 
Come home tonight or not? 
Black Princess, kiss you when I see you 
White women suntan and try to be you 
The Mellanin in your skin, make it all see-through 
Sometimes he hurt y'all, not understanding what we doing 
Sweatin at the foul line like Pat Ewing 
Yo from all the brothers 
I dedicate to the mothers 
My mother, grandmother of the Earth 
If it wasn't for women, then it wouldn't be birth 
What, its all real 

We're just some thug people (That's what we are) 
That's what we are, trying hard to change the way we live 
(Change the way we live) 
But we can't take back, cause that's what we are 
Trying hard to change the way life we live 

Yo, yo, aiyyo, you got chronic? You got yours, I got mines 
Lets get real high, light it all at the same time 
Stop holdin, (hold it up) babe its your turn to roll it 
I used to spend time outside with my dime 
She be, rocking my chain, thinkin she shine 
Straight beautiful, yo, I'm really glad that she mine 
Kiss you on the forehead, cause yo, boo 
This one for you 
The stupid shit I did in the past, I didn't mean it 
You know a nigga skinny, cause a nigga 'nemic 
But when you cook, the way that it smell, the way that it look 
Cause chef, plus you look good, that's off the hook 
You go to school to 
Sit back, or respect dude 
Work you part-time, spendin your time around mine 
I'm lovin you, that's why I wrote this rhyme 
Flying in to Bell Harbor, when we need to shop 
It's Cartier, Gucci, Gaultier, shit won't stop! 

We're just some thug people (That's what we are) 
That's what we are, trying hard to change the way we live 
(Change the way we live) 
But we can't take back, cause that's what we are 
Trying hard to change the way life we live 

Yo, its all good, I'm likin that two-hundred ?stand me? 
It even flipped, when I was down in Miami 
Called me on my cell phone, Jones like I'm still home 
Tell me what your wearing girl, or what you look at pillin girl 
Step into my life now, share my world 
That's what I like about you, you got faith in me 
Be shining by yourself, with little lace with me 
The only thing I love more, gotta be the kids 
You got the real hair, while other chicks rock wigs 
I can remember back then, quite distinctively 
When you friends kept saying not to get with me 
But you couldn't help it, I know the both of us felt it 
The both us melt it, the both of us dealt with 
The rumors and the lies, your eyes on dies 
Is enough for a brother to cut off ties 
To any other chick I used to mess with 
Keepin it real, cause you the real one, that I want to step with 

This song right here, is dedicated to all of y'all, y'know what I mean? Cause, 
We know how we are, we know how we make y'all feel sometimes. Knowing that we 
Ain't doing it purposely. We're just being the person that we are. Hanging 
With the fellas, gettin jealous, y'know what I mean?You know what it is. This 
One's for y'all. 
Word up. I want y'all to tell all y'all girlfriends about this one 

We're just some thug people (That's what we are) 
That's what we are, trying hard to change the way we live 
(Change the way we live) 
But we can't take back, cause that's what we are 
Trying hard to change the way life we live
