I didn't create thug life, I diagnosed it

Out of anger comes controversy, out of controversy comes conversation, out of conversation comes action.

I was looking for a father, he was gone. I hung around with the thugs, and even though they sold drugs, they showed a young brother love.

I think I'm a natural-born leader. I know how to bow down to authority if it's authority that I respect.

I just spent 11 and a half months in a maximum-security jail, got shot five times, and was wrongly convicted of a crime I didn't commit.

I'd rather die like a man, than live like a coward

Give me a paper and pen, so I can write about my life of sin. A couple of bottles of gin, in case I don't get in.
