To my wherever you are Whattup Big? You know 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 every hit you made, more rappers afraid to out
Machine Gun Funk from Queens I came through to blunts You to my hood, we was broke I wonder if we stayed that way, would have been gunsmoke? Still on the block around fiends numb coke, I guess so 'Cause now with paper, shit is ghetto But it black, you livin' your life, though your loved ones
Peace to your and your newborn son It used to be fun, records to see your response But, now competition is none, now that gone And these niggaz is wrong, usin' name in vain And they claim to be New York's king? It about that It's more serious, I plan to it up with you
Joke you, happy we on top, the most official Ain't too many real ones out there, I feel But they're capable to take it where you took it to I your wake not 'cause I'm fake I hate to see somebody so great in that way I woulda so long with so much to say
I had to put it in writin' to me and Brooklyn from fightin' Tellin' me to pay my respects and move to the But I probably wouldn't got off my knees to let people by You can't kill nothin' ready to die You was like God to us in the form of
Still I believe, we always survive, but why?
Still, we survive No matter what, my just stay alive Still, we will No matter what, my people just alive
Thug never die Dear 'Pac, every thug a tear drop and use teeth To bite off beer tops and out a lil' liquor You was more than just the nigga 2Pacalypse, I understand style nigga It's on the third year, since you've been gone
On the East and West the same shit is goin' on The industry be talkin', offendin' me They believe you dead, wanna see you in your coffin I can relate, and court dates All eyez on you, niggaz in your face invadin' your You asked if I could trade in your place, how would I up?
How long I ride, before I fold up? How did you know your rhymes it was your time to go? You predicted it in line, all in your flow There could never be peace, I have to Can't believe I heard my name on the realest shit you wrote We had words the best supposed to clash at the top
But kept it brotherly when we seen other and stopped In NYC, at MTV, people We was both deep, you left I got no sleep Think how us real niggaz would be If we united, a nation of thugs, who could it? You was caught in a homicide or were you crucified
Like the son of God, Lucifer lied And make the think, young blacks should be extinct? But thug life'll never die, we stay high and link Will there ever be another MC as you return to us like the resurrection of Christ?
Still somehow I believe, we survive.. but why?
Still, we, survive No matter what, my people just stay Still, we, will No matter what, my just stay alive
I wonder what the Commodores went on tour? Did Smokey Robinson, have to shoot his way out a What has Al Green that made him religious? Was it the drugs, put an end to the business? If so, I put out the indo right now and write down A plan and pursue my dream turn my around

I thought I made it but we only took baby Up the success ladder, where pay me checks To my when I got it I said, "Baby bless" That was the 80's but now look at this crazy We in the 90's and it's lookin' good Hip-hop took it to billions, I we would
A lot of ups and downs in the game, could lose or A pounds tryin' to maintain, one day you here The next you not, you around niggaz check 'em out is bout it, most individuals plots And run the spots, some to stay to theyselves While others no cares and stay in jail
More than fifty of us Endin' up with holes through the Through the head, through the gut it The for us young shooters and old killers Who become rich as dealers? Nothing left for us but hoop dreams and tournaments
Thug coaches with subs on the bench, either that or rap We the fast way outta this trap Whether it be 9 to 5 or crack To my deceased Gods wishin' I could bring you But life is a dream and y'all me that
survive, but why?
Always survive, Still, we, survive No matter what, my people just alive Still, we, survive No matter what, my people just alive
Still, we, survive No matter Still, we, survive No matter Still, we, survive No matter My niggaz just stay
