......CHORUS.......
If I could teach the world (whole wide world) to be a thug in harmony (harmony) then I would teach the world (whole wide world) to be a thugsta just like me. (x2)
KRAYZIE: How many mo dayz on this old earth can you see, itz a crime to me, so we should get ready for armegeddon cuz I know God should be ready to roll to go thru all of tha wicked s**t like Mr. Policeman and duck if ya wanna pump ur fist in tha air, and pray for tha politicianz freely: get a amen? Tha last dayz of tha last dayz.
BIZZY: Thas why I get high, thas why I get high. I'm holdin onto my soul but nobody knowz when it all unfoldz, then when I don't go, remember tha dayz cuz I all I got, I go on my own with BONE, BONE, BONE muggin' runnin' thru ya door, hoez speakin' of tha last day iz on with tha plastic trial. What do you know? But I can't go wrong when I kick it with my song I turn it up cuz you luf that THUGGISH RUGGISH BONE BONE BONE crossroadz that rulez tha world, enuf to make it where we almost lost those who meant so much, why wasn't I chose? But it will not stop BONE those shotz don't drop BONE nooo no...If I could teach tha world to be athug like me, everybody thuggin in heaven eternally.
LAYZIE: Everyday tha world goes round and round, I see itz a small world after all, cuz I can go meet'n'agree with my fanz, smoke a lil' weed and have a lil'augh at cha'll, but every now and then I getz caught up in a playa hation. Lord whas wrong with tha nation, erase them. But if I could teach tha world to be a thug just like me, you could live ur lifestyle worry free, in tha armz of tha Lord eternally. No mystery, but check tha essence of tha story, tha warrior, wasteland warrior, so true, divine, itz mine, East 1999. Itz where ya findin' all of my kind, everytime.
