Still somehow I believe, we always survive, but
To my dogs you are Whattup Big? You know is rough after you slid You in God's hands now, keep a for me kid Ain't nuttin' changed still, and bullshit We used to fuck R&B bitches and see who sickest For hit you made, more rappers afraid to come out
Machine Gun Funk from Queens I came through to smoke You to my hood, we was broke I wonder if we stayed that way, would there have been Still on the block around fiends numb coke, I guess so 'Cause now paper, shit is still ghetto But fuck it black, you livin' your life, though your loved
Peace to your daughter and newborn son It used to be fun, makin' to see your response But, now competition is none, now that you're And niggaz is wrong, usin' your name in vain And they claim to be New York's king? It ain't about It's serious, I plan to toast it up with you
with you, happy we on top, the most official Ain't too many real ones out there, I some But doubt they're to take it where you took it to I missed your wake not I'm fake I hate to see somebody so great in that way I woulda stayed so 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 to the side But I probably wouldn't have got off my to let people by You can't kill nothin' that's 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 stay Still, we survive No matter what, my people stay alive
Thug never die Dear 'Pac, every thug sheds a tear and use teeth To bite off beer tops and out a lil' liquor You was more just the wildest nigga 2Pacalypse, I understand your style It's goin' on the third year, you've been gone
On the East and West Coast the shit is goin' on The industry be talkin', me often They believe you dead, wanna see you in your coffin I can relate, shootouts and dates All eyez on you, niggaz in your face your space You asked if I could trade in your place, how would I up?
How long would I ride, I fold up? How did you know your rhymes it was your time to go? You it in every line, all in your flow There could never be peace, I have to Can't believe I heard my name on the realest 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 deep, after you left I got no sleep Think about how us real niggaz be If we united, a of thugs, who could fight it? You was caught in a wild homicide or were you
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 Will you return to us the resurrection of Christ?
Still somehow I believe, we always survive.. but
Still, we, survive No matter what, my just stay alive Still, we, survive No what, my people just stay alive
I what the Commodores went through on tour? Did Smokey Robinson, have to shoot his way out a What has Al seen that made him religious? 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 my life around
'Cause I'm bound for the screen, cuties that scream I'll need a extra Uzi riding through my own in Queens It be the ones you knew, that want it on everybody it was him that you fronted on Thought we walked a million miles it was just Not used to walkin' in the path of legit
I thought I made it but we only took baby Up the ladder, where they pay me checks 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 it to billions, I knew we would
A lot of ups and downs in the game, could or gain A couple pounds tryin' to maintain, one day you The next you not, when you around niggaz 'em out Some is bout it, most individuals And run the spots, choose to stay to theyselves While others have no cares and stay in
More than percent of us Endin' up with through the chest Through the head, the gut it shows The future for us young and old killers Who rich as dope dealers? Nothing left for us but hoop and hood tournaments
Thug coaches with subs sittin' on the bench, either or rap We want the fast way outta this 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 me that
survive, but why?
Always survive, Still, we, survive No matter what, my people just alive Still, we, will No what, my people just stay alive
Still, we, will No what Still, we, survive No matter Still, we, will No matter My niggaz stay alive
