Not Your Average Thug Lyrics

Not Your Average Thug lyrics

[verse 1]

I keep it versatile, cause that's my style 

Form hip-hop to bip-bop 

I've been with shorties round the world 

Variety is just my personality 

Sometimes I just don't fit in 

I see the open doorways 

But no one wants to let me in 

Grandma made me understand material things don't make the man 

Try to find that inner wealth and learn to love yourself 

Lately it's so hard to find peace of mind 

I just got to get away from the haters and the instigators 

The mis-conceivers and the non-believers 

People don't believe the hype 'cause Leehom ain't no stereo type



[chorus]

No Crystale in the tub 

Or iced out Spreewell dubs 

I'm really not your average thug 

Not your average gangster 

And I won't be defined by the size of my knot 

But the state of my mind 

No Rolex on my wrist 

Or platinum on my chest 

'Cause I don't need that sh to impress 

But y'all don't get it twisted 

I got love for the ghetto 

Tho I'm your average thug



[verse 2]

(Feel me) Lord I've been around the world 

Sangin' near and far 

People runnin' game all over 

Judgin' me before we meet when they see me on the street 

And they don't know a damn thing about me 

It's a world of jealous deceit and envy 

Seems like everybody tryin' to take something from me 

Grandma made me understand material things don't make the man 

So I found that inner wealth and learned to love myself 

Lately it's so hard to find peace of mind 

(Lately it is so hard) 

I just got to get away from the haters and the instigators 

There's back-stabbers and money-grabbers 

Users and abusers and they all wear smilin' faces 



[chorus]

No Crystale in the tub 

Or iced out Spreewell dubs 

I'm really not your average thug 

Not your average gangster 

And I won't be defined by the size of my knot 

But the state of my mind 

No Rolex on my wrist 

Or platinum on my chest 

'Cause I don't need that sh to impress 

But y'all don't get it twisted 

I got love for the ghetto 

Tho I'm your average thug 



[verse 3]

Sometimes I feel like I'm gonna snap 

And go off up in this piece on somebody 

I ain't tryin' to say no names 

But I ain't tryin' to play no games 

Holla if you feel me people 

Lately it's so hard to find peace of mind 

So lift me up in a lonely world that's so unkind 

There's back-stabbers and money-grabbers 

Users and abusers haters and instigators 

and they all wear smilin' faces



[chorus]

No Crystale in the tub 

Or iced out Spreewell dubs 

I'm really not your average thug 

Not your average gangster 

And I won't be defined by the size of my knot 

But the state of my mind 

No Rolex on my wrist 

Or platinum on my chest 

'Cause I don't need that sh to impress 

But y'all don't get it twisted 

I got love for the ghetto 

Tho I'm your average thug



(Shorties I just need that ghetto love 

Take a dip in my jacuzzi 

Don't misjudge me 'cause I'm my own man now 

Sometimes I don't even wear no watch 

Everybody needs some ghetto love 

See I'm not your average thug)
