thug holiday

go ahead you can cry it's alright baby

everything gone be gravy later

that's right

this the time when we take time to remember

all the loved ones we lost in the struggle you know

i dedicate this to my brother hollywood

toby

bam

my dog itchy and lil trav

i dedicate this to the struggle

everybody in the county jail

state penn

check it out

if it wasn't for bad luck

hell i guess that a nigga wouldn't have none

but when i think about it

what would i be without my gun

how could i

get away from the po-po's

if a

nigga couldn't run

and why was i given a daughter when i always prayed for a son

life is crazy ain't it

sometimes i even think the same thing

i've been waiting on freedom to ring hell but ain't a thang changed

and i lost my brother in the struggle

and then he lost his mother

and i was thinking if i lose mine

who's gone raise my brother

not to be a thug

stay in school

don't use drugs

who'll teach him right from wrong and show them boys

true love

so i pray for the better days

face the bomb had a run-a-ways

and

i put my guns away and i pray for peace on sundays

it's crazy ain't it

just like the soldiers

that ain't coming home this year

just like the fellas

in prison

we miss you so much for real

what about the children

who ran away

that ain't coming home today

well here's a message from coast to coast

cause when them thugs really need it the most a thug holiday

just like em

just like em

just like em

a thug holiday -

here go one for

all these killings and all these conflicts in religion

see the muslims

jews and christians but know they are all god's children

there's only

one him

plus ain't none of y'all confronting him

so blind in our own minds we wouldn't even know god if 'we was in front him'

and

i read your books know all your remixes to the bible

what about a verse for the thugs

a cure for drugs and survival

let's add some chapters named martin

malcolm and farrakhan

in all my history books

only one died was the americans

and

let's point em out who's responsible for vietnam

and

hold on there's more

we had two world wars

and

how come the judges make more than the teachers is making

when they the ones raising all the taxes and got us fighting for education

life is crazy ain't it

so many tears

through out the years

somebody tell me what's going on

and so many lives

but only god knows

about the pain deep inside

it gets so hard

you got to keep your head up

i know you're fed up

but stay strong

here's a message from coast to coast

cause when them thugs really need it the most

thug holiday

just like em

just like em

just like em

a thug holiday -

this is for my people in the ghetto

i'm calling out

calling out

to all my thugs in the ghetto

calling out

calling out

it gets hard sometimes

but you

got to keep your head up

and be strong

here's a message from coast to coast

cause when them thugs really need it the most

a thug holiday
