After the group released their debut album they were persistently seeking to find someone who could give them a record deal. They released their first album “Faces of Death” in 1993 under the guidance of Krayzie Bone’s older brother, but the album did not gain them the success they were hoping to achieve. The group was fairly large containing five members: Layzie Bone, Krayzie Bone, Bizzy Bone, Flesh-n-Bone, and Wish Bone. It's the Thuggish Ruggish Bone.The group started performing around the Cleveland area in the early ‘90s under several names such as The Band-Aid Boys and B.O.N.E. Wish is in the house, and Flesh, and Shatasha. Shatasha: It's the Thuggish Ruggish Bone. Clair P's, to appeal to the G's, and a buck to all my enemies. The blood in me runnin' my mental, the thug in me, stuck in me,keepin' it simple, the Bone in me runnin' with thugs so, to the temple, buck when you duck to the thuggish ruggish T's. Ever if ya test nuts, to the chest and put 'em to rest, and, but I won't test bucks, put a hole up into me vest, and gotta get through my soul, but they won't budge, mud, drug mevictim. So, Sin, sip gin, and Lil' Mo Heart run up, nut up, and flipped in, then slipped in the clip then, mistakin'they bloody victims. The Bone in me never no ho, so no creepin' up outta theziplock. Bizzy: Gotta give it on up to the glock glock, pop pop, better drop when them buckshot blow. Sit back and just smoke to the same cut, Leather Face on the creep, and I came up. Thug runnin' the nine-quat, and you better believe they be wantin' this thug style, so whatnow? See the Bone thug claim, thug never gonna change, so flame up. They pump Bone, so leave 'em alone-you don't wanna get shutdown.
Olde English, really don't need it, but in case my trues wannaget drunk. Puff, puff, puff to the brain shot, love P.O.D.'ded and tweeded, gotta get another case for mytrunk. Gotta get 'em up with my thugstas, right turn to the doubleglock. Well, creep if you can, take another swig to the brain, (Rose), loc'in', steady chokin' off that potent smoke and runnin' from the po-po,now. Krayzie: Now follow me, now, roll, stroll, off deep in the Land. Me drinkin' me brew 'til me skullcrack, (?) on our way back. Come and get this teachin', ya soldiers, how thugstas must stack. It's still the same, now, bailin' in my black, trench vest. Strate Jacket's gotta make that money, man.
T ry to creep and get beat, make me succeed, peep, gotta put them under. Wish: Get ready for the Bone and the Mo Thug, bustas, you know me as a hustla. Chain gang remainin' the same, flamin' my dank and drinkin' brew, thinkin' about that hangin', clockin' my bank, and thuggin'trues, fools. But I gotta get mine, so scream out, "Mo!" and let me hear yaholler, not about that mighty dollar, ro1l with the Bone, mo' thugs will follow. Chill, better bring your weapon, when steppin', bring on that ammunition, trip and don't slip, not to mention, never knew no competition. Layzie: You're feelin' the strength of the rump, step up, hear the funk of the jump that the thugstas feel, just bethuggin', straight buzzin', lovin' your peoples 'cause we so real. Shatasha: Oh, it's the Thuggish Ruggish Bone. "THUGGISH RUGGISH BONE" BONE THUGS-N-HARMONY We're not against rap.
