Thru A Thang

Lyrics

I'm going through a thang (Repeat 3x) [Verse 1: Shoestring] I'm having problems in my life, steady going through a 'thang Fall to my knees beggin' please that my life will change My life has been good, but still it boils me nothing is time is stored Jacking this store gamin' something, cause blacks are killing blacks I gots to hustle while I can Don't depend on tomorrow, why? cause I might be a dead man I wake up in the morning, there's no food in my fridge My momma get her '86, she's cussing out the kids Age of thirteen I started smokin' on that endo Kicked it with Jodi and now I'm peeping out the window A lot is on my mind and there's a lotta pressure pressing me America and it's system, I figure that they're testing me I fall and catch myself, falling in my wisdom Daddy's raping daughters and having sex with 'em My mother's turning tricks and I'm no kin to her no more My sister had a baby and she's eating off the floor I'm going through a thang, my mind is 'bout to crack Somebody took my sack, I gots to take it back My heart is in the ghetto cause the ghetto's steady pacing me Last night I slit my wrists cause Jason was steady chasing me No jobs in my city, I think that that's a shame No shorties in the house drinking 40's And we all going straight through a 'thang [Chorus] I'm goin, I'm goin, I'm goin through a thang (Repeat 8x) [Verse 2: Backstabba] I'm having problems, today was a bad day My father's creamated, I smoked his ashes and threw em in an ashtray My granny had a stroke and my sister's on dope And now I read all the suicidal notes that my sister wrote But I must move on, I must forget about the past Cause see I'm deep in the ghetto and I'm surrounded by broken glass It's time to see a murder, my Glock is the object I'm labeled as a killer, I cause more grief than the projects With a revolver in my hand, they don't figure I live too long They tell me to live right but my society's living wrong I'm sitting in therapy, I got problems I won't admit My teacher's a sex fiend and my reverend's a hypocrite I'm catching myself from fallin', my record deal was stalling' I'm ooting on them thangs while my mother's calling Ain't nothing worth livin' for but my family and the money I pack a .44, so save the fur for the Easter Bunny Cocaine and mescaline I don't think I'm a ever change All these problems on my chest, got me going through a thang [Chorus] I'm goin, I'm goin, I'm goin through a thang (Repeat 8x)
