[Intro]
Sun rise
Tell me what is new
[Verse 1]
Yeah!
Someone got caught stealing TV and sadly the nigga got beat up and burnt to death
He could not make it to the courtroom however, the mob made sure that justice is served
I know you judging but that's what you get when the hood is tired of living in fear
Welcome to Winnie Mandela, bring your attack and see it retaliate
Deserted and only attended to when the police need mancqina inside of their plate
Road worthless cars, granted a pass on basis of dishing out Madiba's face
[Pre-Hook]
Sun rise
Tell me what is new
[Hook]
Brace yourself, black boy
THUG LIFE won't let you fly
Fly!! (x3)
[Post-Hook]
Sun set
And there ain't nothing new
[Verse 2]
Yeah!
If you wanna validate, winter is coming, do come around and see for yourself
Soon as they rob you inside of your house, you'll know it ain't just a story we paint
This is a jungle, don't get too comfortable you can become a prey any day
The night will eat you alive but we still went out and came back home in the AM's
At times we wouldn't distance until the cops and soldiers raided the place
Don't even know how but we do manage to get through this hard knock life every day
[Pre-Hook]
Sun set
And there ain't nothing new
[Hook]
Brace yourself, black boy
THUG LIFE won't let you fly
Fly!! (x3)
