A word Evolved by the late Tupac Shakur. Commonly mistaken for a Criminal. Thug Life is the opposite of someone having all he needs to succeed. Thug life is when you have nothing, and succeed, when you have overcome all obstacles to reach your aim.

Contrary to popular belief, a person who leads a "Thug Life" is not a criminal. The acronym made popular by the great rapper Tupac Shakur has nothing to do with being a "gangsta" or anything of the sort, rather, it stands for all the socially oppressive things we are taught at a young age that negatively affects us (or society) as adults.

When parents teach their children to hate a certain group of people because they are "different" than them, that in turn "fucks everyone," and the people who are victims of that hate, live a "Thug Life"

Many people who aren't familiar with Tupac's work commonly mistaken the phrase as someone who is a "gangsta", lowlife, "criminal," etc. not realising that there is much more to the acronym than meets the eye .

What is Thug Life? How about hearing it from a real Thug Rapper from DC living hell day by day? NOT BEING SCARED TO DIE! Knowing death is a part of life. Speaking your lifestory and living your life on your sleeve. People who are innocent and get abused by the police? Consider yourself Thugged out. Your a smart ass to cops because you know you can be. You always take the beating because your slightly suicidal in the first place. Show people there is no shame in living with your mom. She gave you life. Smoke weed with Mom. There is no shame is making change either. There is also a lot of Black Humor involved with who Tupac was as a person. Otherwise known as "Black Comedy". Observational humor. Comparing your greatness to their weakness. Some times crackin' a joke can influence the whole outcome of a court hearing. I'm fixin' to do it May 31st 2013. THUG LIFE misnomer: You have to be black and from the "west side". I'm a White Italian being abused by cops in VA. This emotion; This unwillingness to die without getting your words across is the centerfold of what a Thug really is. Having a near death experience and waking up in the hospital bed like: "My God!". Don't leave the earth without leaving a mark. It's only a gift if you give it to someone. Use your Third Eye. Don't let someone fabricate the term THUG LIFE for you. You will find out soon enough. All you wannabes out there...Until you understand that NO ONE understands you...you will NEVER understand.
Urban Dictionary becomes defamed...or they accept my definition of "THUG LIFE". Decide now. I'm takin' out Bad Boy Records you wanna ride with em?

Opposite of someone who has all the needs to succeed. Thug life is when you have nothing, and succeed, when you have overcome all obstacles to reach your aim.
