[Chorus: The Game & Michel'le]
(He was once a thug from around the way)
My life was never— (Eazy)
My life was never— (Eazy)
[Chorus: The Game & Michel'le]
(He was once a thug from around the way)
My life was never— (Eazy)
My life was never— (Eazy)
[Verse 1: The Game]
Started in my Cutlass clutchin' heat like it's an open oven
Puffin' chronic, Puff and Biggie out the window, speaker subbin'
Runnin' to the crips, it ain't no discussion
Bullet wounds drenched in Hennessey and tea spoons of Robitussin
Head up faze, got a few concussion, yeah
Compton's amazed, Dr. Dre percussion
God, please grant my nigga eternal life, we need the beats
Aftermath where you fall asleep, you do not eat
And my belly is full, gorilla ridin' the bull
Banana clips in the pool, swan dive in Clase Azul
The opps, I'm on they ass
Grandmama whoopins in school
This Wilmington and Brazil where niggas die in they jewels
Too many Problems, too many YGs
So many ties to dollar signs, easy to end up on E
I got shot up like Columbine, the crips descended on me
Sign my name on the dotted line, that was Venice on beats
This is the way
[Chorus: The Game & Michel'le]
(He was once a thug from around the way)
My life was never— (Eazy)
My life was never— (Eazy)
[Refrain: Kanye West]
There it is, there it was
Don't interrupt just because it's no love
Shoulder shrug (Shrug)
[Verse 2: Kanye West]
How I ain't bring nothin' to the table, when I'm the table?
I'ma turn up the music, wake up the neighbors
I'ma get that "Thug life" tatted 'cross the navel
This is how I am in real life, not just on cable
Mr. Narcissist, tell me 'bout my arrogance
No more counselin', I don't negotiate with therapists
God Ye, wanna let God in?
But tonight, I guess I'll let my pride win
Cousin Dre sent me scriptures, helped me see life better
Nigga, we havin' the best divorce ever
If we go to court, we'll go to court together
Matter of fact, pick up your sis', we'll go to Kourt’s together
I watched four kids for like five hours today
I wear these Yeezy boots everywhere, even in the shower today
I got love for the nannies, but real family is better
The cameras watch the kids, y'all stop takin' the credit
Noncustodial dad, I bought the house next door
What you think the point of really bein' rich for?
When you give 'em everything they only want more
Boujee and unruly, y'all need to do some chores
Rich ass kids, this ain't yo mama's house
Climb on your brother's shoulders, get that top ramen out
God saved me from that crash
Just so I can beat Pete Davidson's ass (Who?)
And my new bitch bad, I know Illuminati mad
This that New-minati bitch
This that two Bugatti rich
This that "God did this"
Only God did this
[Refrain: Kanye West]
There it is, there it was
Don't interrupt, just because
Ain't no love, shoulder shrug
Won't He do it? Yes He does
Won't He do it? Yes He does
Won't He do it?
[Chorus: Kanye West & Michel'le]
My life was never— (Eazy)
This next one gon' be— (Eazy)
[Outro: Michel'le]
(He was once a thug from around the way)
(He was once a thug from around the way, easy)
(He was—he was)
(He was—he was)
(He was once a—once a—)
(Thug from a—thug from a—from around the way)
[Chorus: The Game & Michel'le]
(Han var engang en thug fra omkring vejen)
Mit liv var aldrig- (eazy)
Mit liv var aldrig- (eazy)
[Vers 1: spillet]
Startet i min cutlass clutchin 'varme som det er en åben ovn
Puffin 'kronisk, puff og biggie ud af vinduet, højttaler subbin'
Runnin 'til The Crips, det er ikke nogen diskussion
Bullet sår drenched i Hennessey og Tea Spoons of Robitussin
Hoved op Faze, fik et par hjernerystelse, ja
Compton er forbløffet, Dr. Dre Percussion
Gud, vær venlig at give mit nigga evigt liv, vi har brug for beats
Efterdybning, hvor du falder i søvn, spiser du ikke
Og min mave er fuld, gorilla ridin 'tyren
Bananeklip i poolen, Swan Dive i Clase Azul
Opps, jeg er på de røv
Grandmama Whoopins i skolen
Denne Wilmington og Brasilien, hvor niggas dør i de juveler
For mange problemer, for mange ytgs
Så mange bånd til dollar tegn, let at ende på e
Jeg blev skudt op som Columbine, The Crips nedstemt på mig
Underskrive mit navn på den stiplede linje, det var Venedig på Beats
Dette er vejen
[Chorus: The Game & Michel'le]
(Han var engang en thug fra omkring vejen)
Mit liv var aldrig- (eazy)
Mit liv var aldrig- (eazy)
[Afstå: Kanye West]
Der er det, der var det
Afbryd ikke, bare fordi det ikke er kærlighed
Skulder shrug (shrug)
[Vers 2: Kanye West]
Hvordan jeg ikke bringer nothin 'til bordet, når jeg er bordet?
Jeg kommer op på musikken, vågn op på naboerne
Jeg får det "thug life" tatted 'krydse navlen
Sådan er jeg i det virkelige liv, ikke bare på kabel
Mr. Narcissist, fortæl mig, at jeg var min arrogance
Ikke mere rådgiver, jeg forhandler ikke med terapeuter
Gud, vil du lade Gud i?
Men i aften tror jeg, jeg vil lade min stolthed vinde
Fætter dre sendte mig skrifter, hjalp mig med at se livet bedre
Nigga, vi havin 'den bedste skilsmisse nogensinde
Hvis vi går til retten, går vi til retten sammen
Faktisk faktum, hent din sis ', vi går til Kourt sammen
Jeg så fire børn for ligesom fem timer i dag
Jeg bærer disse yeezy støvler overalt, selv i brusebadet i dag
Jeg fik kærlighed til nannies, men ægte familie er bedre
Kameraerne ser børnene, du stopper med at tage æren
Noncustodial far, jeg købte huset næste dør
Hvad tror du, det er rigtigt at være rigt for?
Når du giver dem alt, hvad de kun vil have mere
Boujee og urolig, du har brug for at lave nogle opgaver
Rige røv børn, dette er ikke yo mamas hus
Klatre på din brors skuldre, få den øverste ramen ud
Gud reddede mig fra det crash
Bare så jeg kan slå Pete Davidsons røv (hvem?)
Og min nye tæve dårlig, jeg kender Illuminati MAD
Dette, der nye-minati tæve
Dette to Bugatti rige
Dette, som "Gud gjorde dette"
Kun Gud gjorde dette
[Afstå: Kanye West]
Der er det, der var det
Afbryd ikke, bare fordi
Er ikke nogen kærlighed, skulder shrug
Vil han ikke gøre det? Ja han gør
Vil han ikke gøre det? Ja han gør
Vil han ikke gøre det?
[Chorus: Kanye West & Michel'le]
Mit liv var aldrig- (eazy)
Denne næste gon 'be- (eazy)
[Outro: Michel'le]
(Han var engang en thug fra omkring vejen)
(Han var engang en thug fra hele vejen, nemt)
(Han var - han var)
(Han var - han var)
(Han var engang en gang A-)
(Thug fra a-thug fra A-fra omkring vejen)
