• kendisine siz neden thug life mottosunu benimsediniz çocuklara kötü örnek oldunuz gibisinden bir soru sorulduğunda ya da sorulacağında aşağıda ki cevabı veren adam :
  
  "ben thug life diye bir isim uydurmadım. bize bu isimleri takan onlar. ben de bu ismi benimseyip bu şekilde davrandım" ya da hatta aynen şöyle :
  
  "when i say, "thug life", i mean that shit, because these white folks see us as thugs. i don't care if you think you a lawyer, a man, an african-american. if you whatever the fuck you think you are, we thugs and niggas to these motherfuckers!"
  
  ve hemen akabinde ekliyor.
  
  "i was scared, but so was america,so was somebody else.
  
  - i'm a liberal democrat.
  - i'm a conservative republican,
  
  but we both worry about the society our children live in. but that makes me want to rise to the occasion. it makes me want to give my whole life to it. and i will give my whole life to this plan that i have for thug life. that's my new posse, my new way of thinking. that's how we rolling in the nine-three, thug life. by "thug", i mean, not criminal, someone that beats you. i mean, the underdog. the person that had nothing and succeeds is a thug. because he overcame all obstacles."
  
  şimdi dolayısıyla bu adam için "aman efendim gangsta rap yapıyor, röğ röğ diye bağırıyor hem thug da neymiş be öyle" diyen adam kıçımı yesindir.
