To an aspiring thug
You don’t have to wear your pants to the ground
You don’t have to have your hair swinging all around
All you have to do, is to aspire
To be something higher
Than a thug
To an aspiring thug
You don’t have to search for things that are wrong
You just need to rewind your song
To the part where you were good
Right before you turned hood
I ask you to aspire
To be something higher
Than a thug
To an aspiring thug
You don’t have to continue the pain
Or even make it rain
You just need to turn to the right
And for your life, you should fight
I beg you to aspire
To be something higher
Than a thug
