본 썩스 앤 하모니는 어떤 힙 합 뮤지션과도 대별되는 독특한 스타일로 확고한 인지도를 갖고 있는 그룹이다. 곡조 있는 노래를 듣는 듯 유려한 래핑과 떼창 래핑 간의 멋진 하모니, 그리고 장중한 사운드스펙트럼 등을 통해 ‘단체 랩’의 미래형을 제시했다는 평을 얻었다. 2006년 발매된 본 작품에서도 이러한 기조는 변하지 않아 타이틀곡 ‘Thug Stories’를 포함해 ‘Call Me’, ‘Don’t Stop’, ‘What U See’ 등의 곡을 통해 밴드의 음악적 이상향을 잘 파악할 수 있을 것이다. 그들의 실력이 여전한 가치를 발하고 있음을 웅변하는 쾌작으로 손색이 없다.

[Krayzie Bone] I knew this nigga that used to be large on the boulevard This nigga was ballin y'all, big house driveway full of cars This nigga would pull up in brand new Caddies, packed-up full of broads Bossin, flossin, all his ghetto superstar Until some young niggaz decided they was gon pull his card And one night when he came home, they was in the bushes in his yard As soon as he pulled up, they jumped out the bushes And let out off they ammunation, but they didn't hit him, they missed him (oh shit, hot damn!) So homie ducked and rose backed up buckin off his shit And hit one of them niggaz back off in the skillet, left him with his wig-split And one of the niggaz, he dropped his GUN and started to RUN As soon as he took one step, the nigga was DONE, DONE, he was DONE! He took a shot to the abdomen, and as he blasted the last one He'll survive it, but they wont be alive to tell that - thug story Livin in the city is really, no nuts, no glory, no nuts, no glory, glory glory...

Why work so hard, let these other niggaz stack mine up and snatch shit? Everything was good at the few licks, but niggaz got greedy, aw shit! Recruited the law, that's when, thangs went downhill All she had to do was swipe his keys, dump 'em and put 'em right back there But I guess he seen her, cause we got that heat He was waiting right there, there, waitin right there! Shots went out, everybody runs except baby-girl I, turn around to see your boy get one in baby girl And we cant leave her, not like that, not like that! But damn, I think she gone!

Keep it creepin', creepin' Yes they say it's better than sneakin', sneakin' But when it's all over, it's just over No knives or policemen
(Hook)
(Krayzie Bone) Now me and her been rollin' together Now for quite some time And she been naggin' a nigga The whole damn ride When I first met the girl Everything was all good She grew up around my way So hey, the love was all hood So I figured it was cool And we could do this And, plus she had a booty that was sicker than lupus I had to scoop it Anyway, we started hangin' out And talkin' on the phone mo' And before you know we on her floor doin' the Grown Folk Everything was cool, y'all We had it plain and simple She wasn't my broad, and I wasn't her man More like "homie-lover-friends" She said she understand But I can't tell she comprehend 'Cause she keyin' on my Benz While I'm sleepin', she be creepin' on me sneakin' in my pockets Lookin' for numbers in my phone And condoms in my wallet Then she overdid it This bitch pointed a pistol at me Talkin' about "We need to talk" 'Cause she ain't happy So shit....
(Hook)
(Layzie Bone) Little sweet thang she love to floss Clothes to her lip gloss Makin' hard thugs turn soft Lookin' like Diana Ross Slim, sweet and sexy Something like a little sister 'Til the day I messed around and tried to kiss her (damn) To be so skinny, baby girl had a nice round ass I used to stay two steps behind her while I walked her to class Back in school, a nigga's mission was to fuck 'em and flee But I was young, so I let her get close to me And I was kinda in love Everyday a nigga wit' her After school a nigga wit' her At the mall takin' pictures All the while I got my niggaz sayin' I'm breakin up the group I'm out here missin' my rehearsals 'Cause I'm tryin' to knock boots She ain't even let me hit it Got me talkin' about commitment Got me climbin' through the window Won't even let me get it Last thing that she said Snapped me back to reality We in the 12th grade Talkin' about "you wanna marry me?"

Stand not in our way, stand not in our way, Beelzebub; Get behind us, behold the Yahweh, Stand not in our way, stand not in our way, Beelzebub; get behind us behold the yahweh
Stand not in our way, stand not in our way, Beelzebub; Get behind us, behold the Yahweh, Stand not in our way, stand not in our way, Beelzebub; get behind us behold the yahweh
I'm tryin'to resist all this temptation that I've been facing lately Constantly praying that I can make it and keep on shakin' Satan It's drivin' me crazy 'cause he makin' the plate look oh so tasty Then again, I'm knowin' that it's only Yahweh that can save me Livin'in this world today It's really gettin harder to stay awakened But I'm not tryin' to get caught too drowsy 'cause I know we're waitin Just contemplatin' on my situation, hopin' that my desperation eventually breaks my concentration But I'm waitin' cause I'm aware that it's a snake in the grass Can't wait for God to free us" we can scream it at last Now oh my God, God, God! God of my God, God, God (Now, oh my God, God, God...) Steady all day
Stand not in our way, stand not in our way, Beelzebub; Get behind us, behold the Yahweh, Stand not in our way, stand not in our way, Beelzebub; get behind us behold the yahweh
Stand not in our way, stand not in our way, Beelzebub; Get behind us, behold the Yahweh, Stand not in our way, stand not in our way, Beelzebub; get behind us behold the yahweh
As long as the Lord got my back, I won't be afraid of the evils around me when they surround me I drop to my knees and I pray to the Lord proudly Probably, these trials and tribulations in front of my face is a test so I be standin' firm in my faith Stand not in my way, stand not in my way 'cause I'm a soldier ready for Armageddon, prepared for my day Make no mistake-stake-stake stake; These bells above, they never break-break-break You hear the alarm; We're headed for ruin This world is so wicked; Controlled by the superpowers, the Federal Government They' wagin' these wars for this oil, actin' like they love it We rise above it 'cause they can't deny the truth And the truth is to the youth; Better strap on your boots
Stand not in our way, stand not in our way, Beelzebub; Get behind us, behold the Yahweh, Stand not in our way, stand not in our way, Beelzebub; get behind us behold the yahweh
Stand not in our way, stand not in our way, Beelzebub; Get behind us, behold the Yahweh, Stand not in our way, stand not in our way, Beelzebub; get behind us behold the yahweh
Everyday's a replay; We always facin' evil people Some have them wicked ways, some donate they lives just to make us not equal And oh, my Lord I want to make it welcome in your home, but I must demand forgiveness 'cause I done did so wrong I gotta make a stand in my way, whatever I gotta do, I'll do it; Lord, just show me the way So I pray, yes for me, and all my peeps in here that don't believe It's hard to seein' what we see, but you got to Just let it begin and you will feel that faith inside you Never alone, always right beside you Every time something goes wrong, who's the person you call to? Huh, huh? Huh, huh?

(Krayzie:) You don't want to live this life (no this life) it's not nice You don't want to live this life (no this life) it's not nice You don't want to live this life (no this life) it's not nice You don't want to live this life (no this life) it's not nice
(Krayzie:) Nigga they gave me the 25 with the L, I'm in my jail cell It feel like a movie I'm getting so woozy from this hell smell Bailed and breathed in hells air My first day here I had to get down with a nigga that thought I was some kinda faggot I had to show him no hoes stay here Now to be dieing is my main fear Why did I have to kill that man? I shouldve never let my anger give Now my state of awareness keeps me wishing I was thinkin Should have reason I didn't really mean to stop the boy from breathin I was awake last night, real late last night Cause I heard some nigga screamin gettin reaped last night I did the crime, but I wad'nt thinkin about me doing the time These 6 by 9s, is about to make me lose my mind Trapped in these closed walls Ain't had no conversation with my family on the outside cause they won't except my phone calls After a couple of years of sheddin tears, my heart is stone hard, believe I'm ready for war and on gaurd
(Krayzie:) You don't want to live this life (no this life) it's not nice You don't want to live this life (no this life) it's not nice You don't want to live this life (no this life) it's not nice You don't want to live this life (no this life) it's not nice
