[Intro: YNW Melly]
Oh, this is the life I need
Yeah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, yeah, nah, nah, nah, nah, yeah
Ayy
[Chorus: YNW Melly]
I don't know what you might think
But this is the life I chose
And this is the life for me, 'cause, baby, I'm a thug
Thugged out, I'm thugged out, I'm thugged out
'Cause, baby, I'm a thug, I'm thugged out, no drugs now
I'm thugged out, lil' baby, I'm a thug
[Verse 1: YNW Melly]
Come in the booth and bring me some liquor
Turned up on the trap with a young nigga, yeah, yeah
Your nigga young, nigga, what? Hold up, beg your pardon?
Bitch, I've been thuggin' ever, ever since Gifford Gardens
I've been the hardest, I'ma go that way regardless
Young nigga real the right way and all my niggas heartless
We aim that pistol at whoever say it's envy
We some real niggas, we got fans, but we ain't friendly
Give me them Benjis, bitch, give me them racks
Give me the Benjamins, give me them racks
Fucked that lil' bitch inside a what? Giuseppes uh, uh, them match
Her fleece and her shoes, I just got some all-pink Timberlands for you, ah
[Chorus: YNW Melly & Kodak Black]
I don't know what you might think (when I'm thuggin', baby)
But this is the life I chose
And this is the life for me, (been in love with thuggin', baby) 'cause, baby, I'm a thug
[Verse 2: Kodak Black & YNW Melly]
Oh, woah, (I'm only happy when I'm thuggin', baby) oh, so you can't get no love
Baby, baby, Free Melly, baby, baby
Free Melly, I'm in the same old boat
I'ma need some dope, I slide the C.O. a note
I got a few niggas who hidin' in PC
'Cause they already knowin' it's up when they see me
Speakin' sign language to my brother
Told him to make me another cutter, my mind in the gutter
I ain't no slime, but I fuck with YNW
Thugged out the greater, caught eleven hundred cases
I can't guarantee you safety, 'cause shit could go down, baby
Yeah, I'm a thug, shootout by the club
Niggas be knowin' what's up, I write this sniper shit in blood
Talkin' 'bout met a SIS, sayin' I'm gettin' niggas styled in prison
Keepin' it real with niggas behind the fences
Don't know 'bout you, this how I'm livin', no
I be tryin' to blitz even on the visit floor
Yeah, they call me Kodak, this ain't no image, though
My thug just ride the wave, he had them people scared to be 'round us
This the only life for me, so I don't care what the hell you think 'bout it
'Cause, baby, I'm a thug
[Chorus: YNW Melly]
I don't know what you might think
But this is the life I chose
And this is the life for me, 'cause, baby, I'm a thug
Thugged out, I'm thugged out, I'm thugged out
'Cause, baby, I'm a thug, I'm thugged out, no drugs now
I'm thugged out, lil' baby, I'm a thug
Oh, this is the life I need
Yeah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, yeah, nah, nah, nah, nah, yeah
Ayy
[Chorus: YNW Melly]
I don't know what you might think
But this is the life I chose
And this is the life for me, 'cause, baby, I'm a thug
Thugged out, I'm thugged out, I'm thugged out
'Cause, baby, I'm a thug, I'm thugged out, no drugs now
I'm thugged out, lil' baby, I'm a thug
