Still somehow I believe, we always survive, but
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 Funk from Queens I came through to blunts You to my hood, we was broke I wonder if we stayed that way, would there been gunsmoke? Still on the block around fiends from coke, I guess so 'Cause now with paper, shit is still But fuck it black, you livin' life, though your loved ones
Peace to your daughter and newborn son It used to be fun, makin' to see your response But, now is none, now that you're gone And these is wrong, usin' your name in vain And they claim to be New York's king? It ain't about It's more serious, I to toast it up with you
with you, happy we on top, the most official Ain't too real ones 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 hate to see somebody so great in way I woulda stayed so with so much to say
I had to put it in writin' to keep me and Brooklyn fightin' Tellin' me to pay my respects and to the side But I probably wouldn't have got off my to let people by You can't nothin' that's ready to die You was like God to us in the of Allah
Still somehow I believe, we survive, but why?
Still, we will No matter what, my people just alive Still, we survive No matter what, my people stay alive
Thug never die Dear 'Pac, thug sheds a tear drop and use teeth To bite off beer tops and out a lil' liquor You was more just the wildest nigga 2Pacalypse, I understand your style It's goin' on the third year, you've been gone
On the East and West Coast the same shit is on The industry be talkin', me often don't believe you dead, wanna see you in your coffin I can relate, shootouts and dates All eyez on you, niggaz in your face invadin' your You asked if I trade in your place, how would I hold up?
How long I ride, before I fold up? How did you know through your rhymes it was your to go? You predicted it in line, all in your flow There could never be peace, I have to Can't believe I heard my name on the realest shit you ever We had words 'cause the supposed to clash at the top
But kept it brotherly when we seen each other and In NYC, at MTV, people We was both deep, after you I got no sleep about how us real niggaz would be If we united, a nation of thugs, who could it? You was caught in a homicide or were you crucified
the son of God, when Lucifer lied And make the think, young blacks should be extinct? But thug life'll die, we stay high and just link Will there ever be another MC as Will you return to us like the resurrection of
somehow I believe, we always survive.. but why?
Still, we, will No what, my people just stay alive Still, we, survive No matter what, my people just alive
I wonder the Commodores went through on tour? Did Smokey Robinson, to shoot his way out a war? has Al Green seen that made him religious? Was it the drugs, put an end to the business? If so, should I put out the indo right now and down A plan and my dream turn my life around
'Cause I'm bound for the screen, cuties that scream I'll need a Uzi riding through my own hood in Queens It be the you always knew, that want it on Tellin' it was him that you fronted on Thought we a million miles it was just twenty Not used to walkin' in the path of money
I I made it but we only took baby steps Up the success ladder, where pay me checks To my clicks I got it I said, "Baby bless" That was the but now look at this crazy 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, when you niggaz check 'em out Some is bout it, individuals plots And run the spots, some to stay to theyselves While others no cares and stay in jail
More than fifty of us Endin' up with through the chest Through the head, through the gut it The for us young shooters and old killers Who become as dope dealers? Nothing left for us but hoop and hood tournaments
Thug coaches subs sittin' 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 wishin' I could bring you back But is a dream and y'all taught me that
Always survive, but
Always survive, Still, we, survive No matter what, my just stay alive Still, we, will No matter what, my just stay alive
Still, we, survive No what Still, we, survive No matter Still, we, survive No matter My niggaz stay alive
