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, party and 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 if we stayed that way, would there have been gunsmoke? Still on the around fiends numb from coke, I guess so 'Cause now with paper, shit is ghetto But fuck it black, you livin' your life, though your ones
Peace to your daughter and your son It used to be fun, makin' to see your response But, now competition is none, now that you're And these niggaz is wrong, usin' name in vain And claim to be New York's king? It ain't about that more serious, I plan to toast it up with you
Joke with you, we on top, the most official Ain't too many real out there, I feel some But doubt they're capable to it where you took it to I your wake not 'cause I'm fake 'Cause I to see somebody so great in that way I woulda stayed so long so much to say
I had to put it in writin' to keep me and Brooklyn from Tellin' me to pay my and move to the side But I wouldn't have got off my knees to let people by You kill nothin' that's 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 stay alive
life never die Dear 'Pac, every thug sheds a drop and use teeth To bite off beer tops and pour out a lil' You was than just the wildest nigga 2Pacalypse, I your style nigga It's goin' on the third year, since been gone
On the East and West Coast the shit is goin' on The industry be talkin', 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 face invadin' your space You asked if I trade in your place, how would I hold up?
How long I ride, before I fold up? How did you through your rhymes it was your time to go? You it in every line, all in your flow There never be peace, I have to quote Can't believe I heard my name on the realest shit you ever We had words the best supposed to clash at the top
But kept it brotherly we seen each other and stopped In NYC, at MTV, watched We was deep, after you left I got no sleep Think about how us real niggaz be If we united, a nation of thugs, who fight it? You was caught in a wild homicide or you crucified
Like the son of God, when lied And make the think, young blacks should be extinct? But thug life'll die, we stay high and just link Will ever be another MC as nice? Will you return to us like the resurrection of
Still I believe, we always survive.. but why?
Still, we, will No matter what, my people just stay Still, we, will No matter what, my people stay alive
I wonder what the Commodores through on tour? Did Smokey Robinson, have to his way out a war? has Al Green seen that made him religious? Was it the drugs, put an end to the music If so, I put out the indo right now and write down A and pursue my dream turn my life around
'Cause I'm bound for the movie screen, cuties that I'll need a extra Uzi riding my own hood in Queens It be the ones you always knew, that it on Tellin' everybody it was him that you on we walked a million miles it was just twenty Not used to walkin' in the path of money
I thought I made it but we only took steps 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 mess We in the and finally it's lookin' good took it to billions, I knew we would
A lot of ups and downs in the game, could 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, most individuals And run the spots, choose to stay to theyselves While have no cares and stay in jail
than fifty percent of us Endin' up with holes the chest Through the head, the gut it shows The future for us young shooters and old Who rich as dope dealers? Nothing for us but hoop dreams and hood tournaments
Thug coaches with subs on the bench, either that or rap We want the way outta this trap it be 9 to 5 or slangin' crack To my deceased Gods wishin' I could you back But is a dream and y'all taught me that
survive, but why?
Always survive, Still, we, survive No matter what, my people just alive Still, we, will No matter what, my just stay alive
Still, we, survive No matter Still, we, survive No what Still, we, will No matter My just stay alive
