Thugs To Men – Jordan~Jay ft. Amour (Produced by ~Jay)

==Chorus==

These Kids Changed To Thugs, And Thugs To Men

Then They Grow Up, Only To See Themselves In Again

These Kids Changed To Thugs, And Thugs To Men

Then They Grow Up, Only To See Themselves In Again

==Verse 1==

An- It’s A Tragedy How This Pictures Is Painted

At This Rate Lord Knows, We Will Never Make It

An- It’s A Shame

That These Kids Just Wanna Grow To Be Famous

Thinking That With Some Education, That Somehow That They’ll Make It

But It’s A Shame, They’re All Going To Schools

Full Of Gangsters, Slanggers, An- Banggers

Every Classroom They Enter, A New Type Of Danger

So Their Minds Keep On Changin’, To Where These Dreams Just Don’t Matter

Till They’re Sitting In The Back Of The Class, And Pretend To Be Gangsters

Putting They Pens They Pads, Thinkin’ It’s Freedom Of Expression

Till They Walk Out They Doors, Then They Either Get Jumped In Or Blessed In

Thinking They’re Apart Of Something, But They Don’t Understand

Till The Guns Cocked Back And Its Pointed At They Mans

But Then They Don’t Call They Folks, Because They’re On The Phone With Family

They Don’t Want Em To Know, They Not As Hard, As They Thought They’d Be

Because They All Wanted Was To Be Loved And Accepted

They Thought Being A Thug Was Some Type Of A Blessing

==Chorus==

These Kids Changed To Thugs, And Thugs To Men

Then They Grow Up, Only To See Themselves In Again

These Kids Changed To Thugs, And Thugs To Men

Then They Grow Up, Only To See Themselves In Again
==Verse 2==

They Were Sitting By The Phone, They Picked It Up, The First Rang

It Was On Again Off Again Thang, But All Of That’s About To Change

There’s A Child On The Way, And They Aint Ready To Be Parents

It’s Apparent That There’s A Lot Of Work To Do, So They Start Preparing

No Job, Lamas, No Health Insurance, No Cars

What Are They Going To Do About The Rent, This Baby’s Coming In March

See Theses Winters Are Cold, As They Attempt To Be Grown

But They Still Living With Their Parents, Cause They Couldn’t Do On They Own

Now They Find Themselves Apologizing For Everything They’ve Done

I’m Sorry Momma For Running Around In Theses Streets, And Acting Dumb

Sorry For The Times I’ve Cheated Stole And Lied, I Swear ‘For God

If I Woulda Known It Was Gonna Be Like This, I Woulda Never Said Yes To The Click

I Probably Never Woulda Been Blessed In, Probably Woulda Chased Other Options

Probably Woulda Ended Up Some Type Of A Doctor, Lawyer Or Somethin

But Now It’s Too Late To Be Thinking That, The Babies Are Coming

There’s A Smile On They Face It’s A Boy, A Fathers Second Coming

==Chorus==

These Kids Changed To Thugs, And Thugs To Men

Then They Grow Up, Only To See Themselves In Again

These Kids Changed To Thugs, And Thugs To Men

Then They Grow Up, Only To See Themselves In Again

==Verse 3==

Now These Kids Are Outta Control, They’re Getting Back Late Again

It’s The Third Time This Week, And They Swear That They’s Gonna Kill Em

They’re Already Had They Coffee, So They Click On The TV

But At 11pm, All This News Is History

But They Leave It On, Cause They Didn’t Catch It The First Time Around

With A Full Time Job And A Family, Not Enough Time Can Be Found

This Is When Parents Start To Worry, Listening To These Crime Stories

But There Is One Particular That’s Really Got Them Worried

It’s A Story About Kid Who Got Shot In His Face

And He Lost Half Of His Mind, Before He Dropped To The Pave

See This Child Was Only Fifteen, And He Was Living In The Burbs

Just A Son Of A Former Gang Member, Never Knew That These Streets Hurt

It Was At This Time That His Mother Got Nervous, As She Starts Picking Up The Phone

She’s Calling Every Number She Can Think Of, Just Trying To Find Their Son

It Was About This Time That The Back Door Slowly Starts To Open

And Now He’s Running Up Stairs, They Sayin’ Where Do You Think You’re Going

==Chorus==

These Kids Changed To Thugs, And Thugs To Men

Then They Grow Up, Only To See Themselves In Again

These Kids Changed To Thugs, And Thugs To Men

Then They Grow Up, Only To See Themselves In Again
