text: Gotta keep it on the down low
  Ill never let my mama know
  Only call him on my cell phone
  Only see him after dark
  I met him on the six train
  Just the way he said my name
  The brother had a lotta game
  Had me open from the start
  He scoops me up in his ride
  Friday about a quarter to nine
  So fly and so fine, and Im so glad that hes all mine
  Theres a thug in my life
  How am I gonna tell my mama?
  Shes gonna say it aint right, but hes so good to me
  Theres a thug in my life
  And its gonna cause crazy drama
  Im gonna see him tonight
  Im gonna give him everything
  I know his crews kinda shady
  Sometimes it gets kinda crazy
  But he treats me like a lady
  Gives me everything I need
  I dont care whos hating on me
  Cause every night, hes waiting on me
  Hes got mad personality, a side they never see
  My friends tell me to slow down
  But every time that hes around
  My hearts on lock down
  I feel love and Im so proud
  Theres a thug in my life
  How am I gonna tell my mama?
  Shes gonna say it aint right, but hes so good to me 
  Theres a thug in my life
  And its gonna cause crazy drama
  Im gonna see him tonight
  Im gonna give him everything 
  T-H-U-G in ya life, baby
  One in a million, thats what you are to me
  And I know your friends say Im rough
  But I still got the tender touch just to make you giggle and blush
  But ya mom does not approve of us
  She needs to be a lot more understanding
  Cause all I have for you is thug loving
  And loving, thats all Im giving
  Mama, dont worry, Im not in a hurry
  I wont disappoint you, I wont make you sorry
  Hes the one for me 
  Well be together from now til forever
  I know its the real thing
  If you dont, whatever
  And I know its meant to be
  I know its meant to be
  I know its meant to be
  Theres a thug in my life
  How am I gonna tell my mama? 
  Shes gonna say it aint right, but hes so good to me 
  Theres a thug in my life
  And its gonna cause crazy drama
  Im gonna see him tonight
  Im gonna give him everything 
  Mama, dont worry, Im not in a hurry 
  I wont disappoint you, I wont make you sorry
