Still I believe, we always survive, but why?
To my wherever you are Big? You know shit is rough after you slid You in God's hands now, a place for me kid Ain't changed still, party and bullshit We used to fuck R&B and see who rhyme sickest For hit you made, more rappers afraid to come out
Machine Gun Funk from Queens I came through to smoke You came to my hood, we was I if we stayed that way, would there have been gunsmoke? Still on the block around fiends numb from coke, I so 'Cause now with paper, shit is ghetto But fuck it black, you livin' your life, your loved ones
to your daughter and your newborn son It used to be fun, makin' records to see your But, now is none, now that you're gone And these niggaz is wrong, your name in vain And they claim to be New York's king? It ain't that It's more serious, I plan to it up with you
Joke you, happy we on top, the most official Ain't too real ones out there, I feel some But doubt they're capable to take it where you it to I missed your wake not I'm fake I hate to see somebody so great in that way I woulda stayed so long with so to say
I had to put it in writin' to me and Brooklyn from fightin' Tellin' me to pay my and move to the side But I wouldn't have got off my knees to let people by You can't nothin' that's ready to die You was God to us in the form of Allah
Still I believe, we always survive, but why?
Still, we survive No matter what, my people just alive Still, we will No matter what, my people stay alive
Thug never die Dear 'Pac, every thug sheds a tear and use teeth To off beer tops and pour out a lil' liquor You was more than the wildest nigga 2Pacalypse, I understand your nigga It's goin' on the year, since you've been gone
On the and West Coast the same shit is goin' on The be talkin', offendin' me often They don't believe you dead, see you in your coffin I can relate, shootouts and court All eyez on you, niggaz in your face invadin' space You asked if I could trade in place, how would I hold up?
How long I ride, before I fold up? How did you know through your rhymes it was time to go? You predicted it in line, all in your flow There could be peace, I have to quote Can't believe I heard my name on the shit you ever wrote We had words 'cause the best supposed to at the top
But it brotherly when we seen each other and stopped In NYC, at MTV, people We was both deep, you left I got no sleep Think about how us niggaz would be If we united, a nation of thugs, who could it? You was caught in a wild homicide or were you
the son of God, when Lucifer lied And make the world think, young blacks should be But thug life'll never die, we stay and just link Will there be another MC as nice? Will you return to us the resurrection of Christ?
Still I believe, we always survive.. but why?
Still, we, survive No matter what, my people just alive Still, we, will No matter what, my people just stay
I wonder what the Commodores through on tour? Did Smokey Robinson, have to shoot his way out a What has Al Green seen that made him Was it the drugs, put an end to the business? If so, should I put out the indo now and write down A plan and pursue my dream turn my around
I'm bound for the movie screen, cuties that scream I'll need a Uzi riding through my own hood in Queens It be the ones you always knew, want it on Tellin' it was him that you fronted on Thought we a million miles it was just twenty Not used to walkin' in the path of legit
I thought I made it but we only took steps Up the success ladder, where they pay me To my clicks I got it I said, "Baby bless" That was the 80's but now look at this mess We in the 90's and finally it's good Hip-hop took it to billions, I we would
A lot of ups and downs in the game, could lose or A couple pounds to maintain, one day you here The next you not, when you around niggaz 'em out Some is bout it, individuals plots And run the spots, some choose to to theyselves While others have no cares and stay in
than fifty percent of us Endin' up holes through the chest Through the head, through the gut it The future for us young shooters and old Who become rich as dope Nothing left for us but hoop and hood tournaments
Thug coaches with subs sittin' on the bench, that or rap We the fast way outta this trap Whether it be 9 to 5 or slangin' To my deceased Gods wishin' I could you back But life is a dream and y'all taught me
survive, but why?
Always survive, Still, we, will No matter what, my just stay alive Still, we, will No matter what, my people just alive
Still, we, will No matter Still, we, survive No matter Still, we, will No what My just stay alive
