Lyrics Thug Is a Drug - Mos Def
Quick
question...
You
ever
felt
like
the
realest
nigga
alive?
Felt
too
pretty
or
powerful
to
die?
Tell
the
truth...
You
ever
felt
ugly
enough
to
cry?
Have
you
ever
begged
for
mercy?
Have
you
ever
wished
you
died?
Tell
the
truth...
Have
you
ever
taken
pride
in
the
crime?
Been
too
hungry
to
break
down
or
hide?
Felt
low
down
dirty?
Or
super
duper
high?
Or
contemplated
murder,
robbery,
or
suicide?
Tell
the
truth...
Taken
medicine
for
trouble
in
your
mind?
Or
taken
down
a
number?
For
taking
up
a
scheme?
I
made
her
wild,
beautiful
take
her
′til
she
skeet?
Take
her
to
the
penthouse
or
take
her
to
the
skreet?
Tell
the
Truth...
So
the
waterman
he
take
it
to
the
beat
And
I
take
it
to
the
'mic
So
we
takin′
what
we
like
Take
it
to
your
neck
We
gon'
take
it
to
the
bank
Triple
X,
Killa
K
Black
we
take
it
to
your
face
Like,
G..."BANK
BANK"
[Chorus]
Gangsta,
birth
sign
is
danger
It's
like
thug
is
the
drug
That
make
′em
fall
in
love
When
love
don′t
love
nobody
BANK,
BANK
Gangsta,
star
sign
is
danger
It's
like
thug
is
the
drug
Ready
rock,
steady
pump
Man
they
leanin′
and
they
fiendin'
Cuz
they
can′t
get
enough...
The
Dee-Jay
play
this
song
in
the
dance
And
every
buggy
on
the
block
got
the
tune
on
blast
The
TV
is
like
the
radio
with
visuals
too
So
shiny,
so
gutter,
mean
moody
and
cool
Tell
the
truth...
They
might
be
doing
things
that
you
wanna'
do
You
fantasize
as
they
be
living
it
through
The
big
home
with
the
beautiful
view
You
have
a
swim
in
the
pool,
and
get
fresh
And
take
a
spin
in
the
coupe
Tell
the
truth...
You
probably
want
to
feel
the
world
in
your
palm
While
hold
a
gun
in
your
hand
And
make
′em
know
you
a
star
Tell
the
truth...
And
there's
those
who
probably
already
are
They
well
known
in
they
zone
Or
they
town
or
they
block
Tell
the
truth...
Then
there's
the
rest
who
are
usually
not
And
the
heavy
dose
of
thug
feel
like
all
that
they
got
So
they
ready
to
rock...
R-r-rock...
Ha,
ha,
heh
[Chorus]
Gangsta,
birth
sign
is
danger
It′s
like
thug
is
the
drug
That
make
′em
fall
in
love
When
love
don't
love
nobody
[Gunshots,
screaming]
Gangsta,
star
sign
is
danger
It′s
like
thug
is
the
drug
Ready
rock,
steady
pump
Man
they
leanin'
and
they
fiendin′
Cuz
they
can't
get
enough...
