I gotta get that back, it's a thug life, it's a thug life I gotta get that back, it's a thug life, it's a thug life It's a thug life, it's a thug life Try to treat men like baby, feel the teeth sinking like rabies Boy you know you don't look fly, them gold chips and your neck green light I gotta get that back, it's a thug life, it's a thug life It's a different kind of asylum with skeletons I ain't know I possess I sought perfection out in ways I no longer accept I understand what I neglect in times when I obsess I'm learning to confess, this fate is harder to digest The biggest threat I'm up against is who I face in my reflection Depression still an unrighted guess, I'm always accepting Can't help but meet that feeling with a familiar embrace But I know that it'll kill me if I give in to my brain I see the shadows inside, they ten feet tall with no eyes They put my head in the water and it's so beautiful London, the sun reflecting off the corals Colors I can't describe to make the darkness divine But you're not on our side It's a thug life But you're not on our side It's a thug life But you're not on our side
