Krayzie: 
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, like me. 
Krayzie: 
How many more days on this old earth. can you see? it's blind to me, 
So we should get ready for armageddon, 'cause i 
Know god should be ready to roll. do away with the wickedest shit like 
Mr. policeman, and, dog, if you with it, then pump up 
Your fist in the air, then pray for the politicians freely, get an 
Amen, the last days of the last day, day, day. 
Bizzy:

Soul, but nobody knows when it all unfolds, and then when i 
Go, i go. remember the dead, 'cause all that i got, i got all on my 
Own with bone, bone, bone, muggin' thuggin' through your 
Door. hoes speakin' of the last and the time when i'm passed, and 
Charlie wanna hear ya bone, but i can't go wrong. i'm a 
Flip it with my song, better turn it on, 'cause you love that thuggish 
Ruggish bone bone bone bone, crossroads, what a real 
Cruel world, now i doubt the journey of us lost souls, who meant so 
Much. why wasn't i chose? but he will not stop clones 
Whose shots don't drop bone, no oh, oh, oh, and if i could teach the 
World to be a thug like me, then they probably be thuggin' 
In heaven eternally. 
Layzie: 
Everyday the world goes round and round. i see it's a small world 
After all, 'cause i can go meet, and i greet with my fans, 
Smoke a little weed and have a little laugh with ya'll, but every now 
And then, i gets caught up in the playa hation. lord, what's 
Wrong with this nation? erase 'em. but if i could to teach the world 
To be a thug just like me, you could live your lifestyle 
Worry-free in the arms of the lord eternally. no mystery, but check 
The essence of the story: a warrior, wasteland warrior so 
True. divine--it's mine, east 1999, it's where you're findin' all of 
My kind everytime.

Harmony, harmony, 
Then i would teach the world, [whole wide world] to be a thugsta just 
Like me, like me [if i, if i]. 
Krayzie: 
We stand as united, but fall if divided. my thugs is the tightest, 
'cause god is our guide, and they only define us as killas and 
Fighters. the critics and writers backstab when typin' our story. the 
War to be warrior, that's for sure, and as thugs we're 
More and more and more and more.

Still understood by the older folks and little kids. come on, 
All a y'all, follow me. bone, way to go, we know the way to go, follow 
Me, follow me, bone, and that's why i stay high, 'cause

And do or to repeat. please, if we can, no more murder 
Amongst ourselves. if we can, no more murder.

World] to be a thugsta just like me, like me.
