[Intro – whisper / filtered vocal]
Yeah…
They don’t know the reason…
Only see the image…

[Verse 1]
Grew up where the lights flash red and blue,
Dreams in my pocket, but the rent still due.
Mama said pray, but the bills don’t wait,
Had to learn real fast how to move with the snakes.

Gold on my neck, but my heart still cold,
Every win feel heavy when you come from broke.
They love the shine, hate how we survived,
Judge every move but don’t live our lives.

[Pre-Chorus]
If I move cautious, they say I’m a threat,
If I move silent, they think I’m next.
I been walking with faith and a chip on my soul,
Tryna make it out clean, but the streets still close.

[Chorus – catchy, repeatable]
They call us thugs, thugs, thugs, yeah,
But they don’t feel the pain in the blood we shed.
I see love in the dark, see hope in the smoke,
Had to hustle just to breathe, had to fight just to cope.
They call us thugs, thugs, thugs, yeah,
But we just tryna eat, tryna make it ahead.
If survival a crime, then charge my name—
I did it for my people, not the fame.

[Verse 2]
Late nights, city talkin’ in sirens,
Every friend a statistic, silence.
Smile for the ‘Gram, hide trauma in ice,
Tell the world we okay, but we paid the price.

They love our sound, hate where it’s from,
Take the style, leave the bodies numb.
I sing pain over 808s,
Turn tears to checks just to change my fate.

[Pre-Chorus]
Every blessing came with a scar,
Every lesson left a mark.
I ain’t proud of the war I survived,
But I’m proud I’m still alive.

[Chorus]
They call us thugs, thugs, thugs, yeah,
But they don’t feel the pain in the blood we shed.
I see love in the dark, see hope in the smoke,
Had to hustle just to breathe, had to fight just to cope.
They call us thugs, thugs, thugs, yeah,
But we just tryna eat, tryna make it ahead.
If survival a crime, then charge my name—
I did it for my people, not the fame.

[Bridge – melodic, half-sung]
I ain’t ask for the war I was born in,
Just tryna find peace by the morning.
If I glow, it’s ‘cause I been burned,
Every dollar got a lesson I learned.

[Final Chorus – bigger, stacked vocals]
They call us thugs, thugs, thugs, yeah,
But they don’t feel the pain in the blood we shed.
I see love in the dark, see hope in the smoke,
Had to hustle just to breathe, had to fight just to cope.
They call us thugs, thugs, thugs, yeah,
But we just tryna eat, tryna make it ahead.
If survival a crime, then charge my name—
I did it for my people, not the fame.

[Outro – soft run]
Yeah…
Not the fame…
Just the way out…
