歌词
When thugz cry
就算是硬汉也是有感情的
我躺下来睡一会有点想哭
Now i lay me down to sleep
希望睡着的时候枪不会被人抢走
如果我真的死了
I pray to lord my guns to keep
只希望灵魂能与上帝相遇
街头生活让每个人深陷其中
If i die before i wake
看到兄弟被杀时谁能不哭
其实我很挣扎
I pray to lord my soul to take
从小混在街头因而深爱
Got us dying
和兄弟们一起赚大钱
和其他帮派斗智斗勇时还要提防着警察
When thugz cry
热血沸腾
不择手段
Times is hard
以牙还牙
我可一点都不担心这些一心想埋了我的懦夫
Verse one:
我在地方检察官那里有人，因为我干过他们的专用秘书
我开始发疯地打骂这群懦夫
Born thuggin' and lovin'
他们怕了想跑我快速跟上把他们干了
可能到我老了我也不会懂
The way i came up, big money clutchin'
为什么我一辈子都枪不离手
那群人渣绑票了我兄弟的妹妹还划花了她的脸
Bustin' while evadin' cocaine bust
人渣们甚至强暴了她所以我们把他们住的地方也烧了
每个街区枪声夺耳
My po's rushin'
政客警察也被卷入战场
我没半句假话，警察找到我的时候，我累得睡着了但手里还握着红外线瞄准枪
To my cushin' into insanity
我梦到那群贱人被我们干到惨叫
我在想这个梦蕴含的意义（以及这场枪战的意义）
They shot at my cousin now we bustin' at they whole family
硬汉们都哭了
These cowards wanna see me burried, i ain't worried
你肯让你的孩子像这样送死吗
不肯？为什么？
I got a line on the d.a. cause i'm fuckin' the secretary
在互相的憎恨没完没了的街头（chalk指欠债）
又一个兄弟牺牲了
I black out, start cussin, bust 'em, and touch 'em all
最硬的哥们也哭得不像人样
这些不幸发生的时候
They panicin' bitches duckin', i rush 'em, and fuck 'em all
上帝你在哪
上帝啊
Probably be an old man before i understand
能告诉我答案吗
只能这样了吗
Why i had to live my life with pistols close in hand
您天真的子民们一个个死去
能不能
Kidnapped my homie sister cut her face up bad
让他们听到您的真理之声
给他们一点希望
They even raped her so we blazed they pad
噢上帝
真的不懂
Automatic shots rang out, on every block
唉
They puttin hits on politicians even cops
可能是我对这些斗争上瘾了
对街头的爱让我从不离开
I ain't lyin', they got me sleepin' with my infrared beams
自小学后我就没哭过了
我爱的一哥们现在被关在监狱
And in my dreams i hear muthafuckas screamin'
原因还是那个，他只是做了自己应该做的事情，感觉如何呢
因为以前干的蠢事毁了一生
What is the meanin'?
孤单一人没法和外界联系，打电话也被限制了
他从小和爸处不来妈又走得太早
When thugz cry
到底问题出在哪里？我不知道，我只能把我所有思考都放进歌里
好让我们都及早成熟起来 但现在我们却杀昏了脑袋
Chorus:
生活逼得我们每个人都不得不变狠
不满足安于一角我们想富足天下
Oh why
但一些恶毒的东西混了进来
很多东西变得莫名其妙，因为可卡因，我失去了所有的兄弟
Should you send your child off to die
如果你问我有没有哭，我不会说谎
这就是我们的生活，嗑嗨逃避痛苦或者在枪战中死去
In the streets of chalk
因为最硬的哥们也克服不了失去兄弟的痛苦
When they die
上帝啊告诉我真理吧
难道你要看着您的孩子送死吗
Let the rocks cry out
在这个充满仇恨的街头上
您知道每天有多少悲剧发生吗
When thugz cry
当悲剧发生
说是宁可流血也不流泪
Dear god
硬汉们还是哭了
他们哭了
(when thugz cry)
您自己想当一个像我这样的恶棍吗
啊上帝
Oh why
告诉我好吗
真的只有这条路可以走了吗
Does it have to be this way ahh
您的子民一个个地离去
让他们听到您伟大的真理之音吧
Children of today won't stay by
我为此哭泣
上帝啊
(when thugz cry)
我不懂
Let the children hear
我能看到的满眼都是疯子捏造的是是非非
对待他们这些战俘，口头上说跟我混会给这些混蛋分红实际上几乎什么都不留给他们
When thugz cry
因为没人够我玩
我一旦记下了你的名字，你整个家族都要遭殃
Dear god
你太狡猾了留你下来可能日后会取代我
所以我首先下手粉碎你的白日梦
Oh why
让这些混蛋在自己的血泊里溺亡
我还要拍张照片逗他们
(ha)
然后嘲笑一番这些垃圾
他们居然连自己兄弟都出卖
Verse two:
杀了他们是为了震慑他们巩固我的地盘
可能你还在想他们到底去哪了呢
Maybe my addiction to friction got me buggin'
是我无情吗，可能只是我早就把灵魂卖给了恶魔了吧
我就喜欢每天混在街头
Where is the love, never quit my ambitionz to thug
从未获得一丝如上帝期许的宁静
上帝不如把我也带我上去吧
Ain't shed a tear since the old school years of elementary
我不想让遭这些苦了
和兄弟又抽了一磅 我知道我也撑不了多久了
Niggaz i used to love they closed the penitentiary
哪里才是尽头
真的会有尽头吗
Still homie keep it real, how does it feel?
可能因为没有所以我才要不断铲除路上的敌人
硬汉在哭
To loose your life over somethin' that you did as a kid
上帝我不懂您
You all alone no communication, block on the phone
为什么要让您的子民去送死
在险恶的街头上
Don't get along with your pops and plus your moms is gone
我甚至在脸上纹上了眼泪的图案
又一个兄弟倒下了
Where did we go wrong? i put my soul in this song
我们都哭得不像样
给我们死去的和在牢里的兄弟致敬
To help us grow in time but now our minds is gone
尽情哭一次吧
噢上帝
We went from brothas and sistas to niggaz and bitches
我们不懂
兄弟你甚至还没见过我哭呢就走了
We went from welfare livin' to worldwide riches
我们只能这样重蹈覆辙了吗
上帝的子民一个个离去
But somethin' change in this dirty game
让我们听一下您救赎的声音吧
硬汉哭了
Everythin' strange, lost all my homies over cocaine, man
我的上帝
（回响不绝）
See they ask me if i shed a tear, i ain't lie
See, you gotta get high or die
Cause even thugz cry
Chorus:
Oh why
Should you send your child off to die
In the streets of chalk
(when thugz cry)
When they die
(we don't shed tears, we shed blood)
Let the rocks cry out
When thugz cry
(do you still wanna be a thug)
Dear god
Oh why
Does it have to be this way ahh
Children of today won't stay by
Let the children hear
When thugz cry
Dear god
Oh why
Verse three:
And all i see are these paraniod bitches, illegal inventions
Bustin' muthafuckas with upper cuts, i leave 'em with dentures
Cause in my criminal mind nobody violates the don
I write your name on a piece of paper, and now your family's gone
Well perpetrate like you could handle my team
So merciless in mind try to take command of your dreams
Leavin muthafuckas drowin in they own blood
Clown and taking pictures
Later, laugh about the punk bitches
That turn snitches
Regulate my area the terror i represent
Make your people disappear, your wonderin' where they went
Am i cold, or is it just i sold my soul?
Addicted to the streets
Never find true peace i'm told
Come take my body, god
Don't let me suffer any longer
Smoke a pound of marijuana so i know it ain't long
Where is the end to all my misery?
Is there a close?
I suppose that's why i murder my foes
When thugz cry
Chorus:
Oh why
Should you send your child off to die
In the streets of chalk
(i shed tattoo tearz for years)
When they die
Let the rocks cry out
(to my dead homeboyz and the prison peace)
When thugz cry
Dear god
Oh why
(yall ain't never heard my cries, nigga, what about if you would die)
Does it have to be this way ahh
Children of today won't stay by
Let the children hear
When thugz cry
Dear god
Repeat chorus until fade
