I'M Not a Thug

i been in shoot outs 
almost left for dead 
not once did i 
scream 
i'm a thug
drunk to the bottle was 
empty 
not once did i scream 
i was a thug 
smoke to my eyez was half pass 
red
still not a trace 
now you threw on a durag 
and hat heard your latest
rap cd 
now look at your face
