Still I believe, we always survive, but why?
To my dogs you are Whattup You know shit is rough after you slid You in God's hands now, keep a for me kid nuttin' changed still, party and bullshit We used to fuck R&B bitches and see who sickest For every hit you made, more rappers to come 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 there have gunsmoke? Still on the block around fiends numb coke, I guess so 'Cause now with paper, shit is ghetto But fuck it black, you livin' your life, though loved ones
Peace to your 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, usin' your in vain And they claim to be New York's king? It ain't that It's more serious, I plan to toast it up you
Joke you, happy we on top, the most official Ain't too many ones out there, I feel some But doubt they're capable to take it 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 long with so to say
I had to put it in writin' to keep me and Brooklyn fightin' Tellin' me to pay my respects and move to the 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 somehow I believe, we survive, but why?
Still, we will No matter what, my people just stay Still, we survive No matter what, my just stay alive
Thug life die Dear 'Pac, every sheds a tear drop and use teeth To bite off beer tops and pour out a lil' You was more than the wildest nigga 2Pacalypse, I understand style nigga It's goin' on the third year, since you've been
On the East and West the same shit is goin' on The be talkin', offendin' me often They don't believe you dead, wanna see you in your I can relate, shootouts and dates All eyez on you, niggaz in your face invadin' space You asked if I could trade in your place, how would I up?
How would 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 to quote Can't believe I heard my on the realest shit you ever wrote We had words the best supposed to clash at the top
But it brotherly when 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
the son of God, when Lucifer lied And make the world think, young blacks should be But thug never die, we stay high and just link Will there ever be MC as nice? Will you to us like the resurrection of Christ?
Still somehow I believe, we survive.. but why?
Still, we, survive No matter what, my people stay alive Still, we, will No matter what, my people stay alive
I wonder the Commodores went through 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 music If so, should I put out the indo right now and down A plan and pursue my dream my life around
I'm bound for the movie 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 walked a miles it was just twenty Not used to walkin' in the path of legit
I I made it but we only took baby steps Up the ladder, where they pay me checks To my when I got it I said, "Baby bless" That was the 80's but now at this crazy mess We in the 90's and finally it's lookin' Hip-hop took it to billions, I 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, some to stay to theyselves While others have no and stay in jail
More than percent of us Endin' up with through the chest the head, through the gut it shows The future for us shooters and old killers Who rich as dope dealers? Nothing left for us but dreams and hood 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 bring you back But life is a dream and taught me that
Always survive, but
survive, always Still, we, survive No matter what, my just stay alive Still, we, survive No what, my people just stay alive
Still, we, will No what Still, we, survive No what Still, we, will No matter My just stay alive
