(adj.) "Truly. Humbled. Under. God."
This how the word "thug" was defined by Jeffrey Willams' (better well known professionally as "Young Thug") defense attorney, Brian Steel, during Mr. Steel's opening statement on day 1 of the Young Thug YSL RICO Trial. In the same opening statement, Mr. Steel also noted that Jeffrey's use of the word "thug" in his chosen professional name of "Young Thug" should NOT be confused with what one would typically associate with the word after it was popularized by late rapper Tupac through his iconic album, "Thug Life, Volume 1".

That's what 'Thug' means."
