IF U PUT A CUP OF WATER IN A THIRSTY KIDS FACE HE WULD TAKE RIGHT?
NOW ME I BEEN A THIRSTY NIG-A
SINCE MY BROTHER DIED
I'M THIRSTY FOR BLOOD
AND I'M THIRSTY FOR HATE
AND SHIT FOR REAL
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS PLACE
I BEEN THIRSTY THIRSTY TO LEARN
I GUESS I'M THIRSTY NOW
TO SEE MY ENEMIES BURN
MY MOM DON'T LISTEN
AND MY DAD NOT IN SIGHT
AND EVERYDAY I FIND MYSELF
FIGHTIN FOR MY LIFE
I WANNA BE SOMEONE SOMEONE REAL
BIG SOMEONE WHO CAN ONE DAY
INSPIRE LOTS OF KIDS
BUT I GUESS EVERYONE IS THIRSTY
SOMETIMES IF HE/SHE SAID THEY WEREN'T
THAT WAS A LIE
WHEN I GROW UP I WANNA TELL
STORIES OF MY LIFE ON DA STREETZ
ONE STORY WERE I WAS BOUT TO DIE
BUT MY N-GGAS SAVED ME
GOT SHOT TWO TIMES IN DA LEGS
GUN TOO MY FACE
MY THOUGHTS SAID
HERE COMES MY PERMANENT BED
PLEASE GOD DON'T HATE ME
FOR WAT IVE DONE
THEY SAY EVERYONE IS GOD'S CHILDREN
BUT I DON'T FEEL LOVED
I LIVE IN HELL AND I FEEL HATE
BUT WAT I FEEL THE MOST
IS THE THIRIST TO TAKE THIS PAIN AWAY
