Still I believe, we always survive, but why?
To my wherever you are Whattup Big? You know shit is after you slid You in God's hands now, keep a for me kid nuttin' changed still, party and bullshit We used to R&B bitches 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 came to my hood, we was I wonder if we stayed that way, would there have gunsmoke? Still on the around fiends numb from coke, I guess so now with paper, shit is still ghetto But fuck it black, you livin' your life, your loved ones
Peace to your and your newborn son It used to be fun, makin' records to see your But, now competition is none, now that you're And these niggaz is wrong, usin' name in vain And they claim to be New York's king? It ain't 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 some But they're capable 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 stayed so long with so much to say
I had to put it in writin' to keep me and from fightin' Tellin' me to pay my and move to the side But I probably wouldn't have got off my knees to let by You can't kill nothin' ready to die You was like God to us in the form of
somehow I believe, we always survive, but why?
Still, we survive No matter what, my people just alive Still, we survive No matter what, my people stay alive
life never die Dear 'Pac, every thug sheds a drop and use teeth To off beer tops and pour out a lil' liquor You was than just the wildest nigga 2Pacalypse, I understand your nigga It's goin' on the third year, since you've been
On the East and Coast the same shit is goin' on The be talkin', offendin' me often They don't believe you dead, see you in your coffin I can relate, shootouts and dates All eyez on you, niggaz in your face invadin' space You if I could trade in your place, how would I hold up?
How long would I ride, before I up? How did you know through rhymes it was your time to go? You predicted it in every line, all in flow There could be peace, I have to quote Can't believe I heard my name on the shit you ever wrote We had words 'cause the supposed to clash at the top
But it brotherly when we seen each other and stopped In NYC, at MTV, people We was both deep, after you left I got no Think how us real niggaz would be If we united, a of thugs, who could fight it? You was caught in a wild or were you crucified
the son of God, when Lucifer lied And the world think, young blacks should be extinct? But thug life'll die, we stay high and just link there ever be another MC as nice? Will you to us like the resurrection of Christ?
Still somehow I believe, we always survive.. but
Still, we, will No matter what, my just stay alive Still, we, will No matter what, my people just alive
I wonder what the went through 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, should I put out the right now and write down A plan and pursue my dream turn my around
'Cause I'm for the movie screen, cuties that scream I'll need a extra Uzi riding through my own hood in It be the you always knew, that want it on Tellin' everybody it was him that you on Thought we walked a million miles it was twenty Not used to walkin' in the of legit money
I thought I made it but we only baby steps Up the success ladder, where pay me checks To my clicks I got it I said, "Baby bless" That was the 80's but now at this crazy mess We in the 90's and it's lookin' good Hip-hop it to billions, I knew we would
A lot of ups and downs in the game, lose or gain A couple pounds tryin' to maintain, one day you The you not, when you around niggaz check 'em out Some is bout it, most plots And run the spots, choose to stay to theyselves While have no cares and stay in jail
More fifty percent of us Endin' up with through the chest Through the head, the gut it shows The for us young shooters and old killers Who become as dope dealers? Nothing for us but hoop dreams and hood tournaments
Thug coaches with subs sittin' on the bench, either or rap We want the fast way outta trap it be 9 to 5 or slangin' crack To my deceased Gods wishin' I could you back But life is a dream and taught me that
survive, but why?
Always survive, Still, we, survive No what, my people just stay alive Still, we, survive No what, my people just stay alive
Still, we, survive No what Still, we, will No what Still, we, will No matter My niggaz just stay
