Still I believe, we always survive, but why?
To my wherever you are Whattup You know shit is rough after you slid You in God's hands now, keep a for me kid Ain't nuttin' changed still, party and We used to fuck R&B bitches and see who rhyme For every hit you made, rappers afraid to come out
Machine Gun Funk Queens I came through to smoke blunts You to my hood, we was broke I wonder if we stayed that way, would have been gunsmoke? on the block around fiends numb from coke, I guess so 'Cause now with paper, shit is still But fuck it black, you livin' your life, your loved ones
Peace to daughter 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 to be New York's king? It ain't about 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 real ones out there, I feel But doubt they're capable to it where you took it to I missed your not 'cause I'm fake 'Cause I hate to see so great in that way I woulda stayed so long so much to say
I had to put it in to keep me and Brooklyn from fightin' Tellin' me to pay my and move to the side But I probably wouldn't got off my knees to let people by You can't kill nothin' 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 what, my people just stay alive Still, we will No what, my people just stay alive
Thug never die Dear 'Pac, every thug sheds a drop and use teeth To bite off beer tops and pour out a lil' You was more than just the nigga 2Pacalypse, I understand your style It's goin' on the third year, since been gone
On the East and West Coast the same is goin' on The be talkin', offendin' me often don't believe you dead, wanna see you in your coffin I can relate, shootouts and court All on you, niggaz in your face invadin' 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 through your rhymes it was your to go? You predicted it in every line, all in flow could never be peace, I have to quote Can't believe I my name on the realest shit you ever wrote We had words 'cause the supposed to clash at the top
But kept it brotherly when we seen each and stopped In NYC, at MTV, people We was both deep, you left I got no sleep Think about how us real niggaz be If we united, a nation of thugs, who could it? You was in a wild homicide or were you crucified
Like the son of God, Lucifer lied And the world think, young blacks should be extinct? But thug life'll never die, we stay and just link there ever be another MC as nice? Will you return to us like the resurrection of
somehow 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 just alive
I wonder what the went through on tour? Did Smokey Robinson, to shoot his way out a war? What has Al Green that made him religious? Was it the drugs, put an end to the music If so, should I put out the indo now and write down A plan and my dream turn my life around
'Cause I'm bound for the movie screen, cuties scream I'll need a extra Uzi riding through my own hood in It be the you always knew, that want it on Tellin' it was him that you fronted on Thought we walked a miles it was just twenty Not used to in the path of legit money
I thought I made it but we only baby steps Up the success ladder, they 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 and finally it's lookin' good Hip-hop took it to billions, I we would
A lot of ups and downs in the game, lose 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, some to stay to theyselves While have no cares and stay in jail
More than fifty of us up with holes through the chest Through the head, the gut it shows The for us young shooters and old killers Who become as dope dealers? Nothing left for us but hoop 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 could you back But life is a dream and taught me that
Always survive, but
Always survive, Still, we, survive No matter what, my people just alive Still, we, will No matter what, my just stay alive
Still, we, will No what Still, we, survive No matter Still, we, will No what My niggaz stay alive
