THUG

(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".
"Most people think of a 'thug' as a criminal. But to Jeffrey, 'thug' had a different meaning . . . it meant something very personal. It was Jeffrey's pact that if he ever made it as a musical artist and could help as many others out of this endless cycle of hopelessness, he would be: Truly. Humbled. Under. God. That's what 'Thug' means."

Thug it in

To stop pushing through an obstacle and instead dealing with it head on. To be strong enough to see the boulder in front of you and break it.
"I was going just keep thugging it out, but, I think I need to face this problem now, instead of just continuing to remain strong. Instead of remaining strong, maybe I need to face that obstacle, break it, and remain weak for a little bit. After that, I'm sure I'll come out stronger than before. Sometimes, you just have to thug it in."
