Still I believe, we always survive, but why?
To my wherever you are Whattup Big? You know is rough after you slid You in hands now, keep a place for me kid Ain't nuttin' changed still, and bullshit We used to fuck R&B and see who rhyme sickest For every hit you made, more rappers to come out
Machine Gun from Queens I came through to smoke blunts You came to my hood, we was I wonder if we stayed that way, would there have been Still on the block around fiends numb from coke, I so 'Cause now with paper, is still ghetto But fuck it black, you livin' your life, though your ones
Peace to daughter and your newborn son It to be fun, makin' records to see your response But, now is none, now that you're gone And these niggaz is wrong, usin' your name in And they claim to be New king? It ain't about that It's more serious, I plan to it up with you
Joke with you, happy we on top, the official Ain't too many ones out there, I feel some But doubt they're to take it where you took it to I missed wake not 'cause I'm fake 'Cause I hate to see somebody so in that way I woulda so long with so much to say
I had to put it in writin' to keep me and Brooklyn from me to pay my respects and move to the side But I wouldn't have got off my knees to let people by You can't kill nothin' ready to die You was God to us in the form of Allah
somehow I believe, we always survive, but why?
Still, we survive No matter what, my people just stay Still, we survive No matter what, my just stay alive
life never die Dear 'Pac, every thug sheds a tear drop and use To bite off tops and pour out a lil' liquor You was more than just the nigga 2Pacalypse, I understand style nigga It's goin' on the year, since you've been gone
On the East and Coast the same shit is goin' on The industry be talkin', offendin' me don't believe you dead, wanna see you in your coffin I can relate, and court dates All eyez on you, niggaz in face invadin' your space You asked if I could trade in place, how would I hold up?
How would I ride, before I fold up? How did you know through rhymes it was your time to go? You predicted it in every line, all in your 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 kept it brotherly when we seen each and stopped In NYC, at MTV, watched We was both deep, you left I got no sleep about how us real niggaz would be If we united, a of thugs, who could fight it? You was caught in a homicide or were you crucified
the son of God, when Lucifer lied And make the world think, young should be extinct? But thug life'll die, we stay high and just link Will there ever be MC as nice? you return to us like the resurrection of Christ?
Still somehow I believe, we always survive.. but
Still, we, survive No what, my people just stay alive Still, we, survive No what, my people 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 seen made him religious? Was it the drugs, put an end to the business? If so, should I put out the right now and write down A plan and pursue my dream turn my 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 you always knew, that want it on Tellin' everybody it was him that you 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 baby Up the success ladder, they pay me checks To my when 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 took it to billions, I knew we would
A lot of ups and downs in the game, lose or gain A couple tryin' to maintain, one day you here The next you not, you around niggaz check 'em out Some is bout it, individuals plots And run the spots, some choose to to theyselves While have no cares and stay in jail
More than fifty of us Endin' up with holes the chest Through the head, through the gut it The future for us young and old killers Who become as dope dealers? Nothing left for us but hoop dreams and tournaments
coaches with subs sittin' on the bench, either that or rap We want the fast way outta this Whether it be 9 to 5 or slangin' To my deceased Gods I could bring you back But life is a dream and y'all me that
Always survive, but
Always survive, Still, we, will No matter what, my just stay alive Still, we, survive No matter what, my people just stay
Still, we, survive No what Still, we, survive No what Still, we, will No what My just stay alive
