Still somehow I believe, we always survive, but
To my wherever you are Big? You know shit is rough after you slid You in God's hands now, a place for me kid Ain't nuttin' changed still, party and We used to R&B bitches and see who rhyme sickest For every hit you made, more afraid to come out
Machine Gun Funk from Queens I through to smoke blunts You came to my hood, we was I wonder if we stayed that way, would there have been Still on the block around fiends numb from coke, I so 'Cause now with paper, is still ghetto But fuck it black, you livin' life, though your loved ones
to your daughter and your newborn son It used to be fun, makin' records to see response But, now competition is none, now that you're And these niggaz is wrong, usin' name in vain And they claim to be New king? It ain't about that It's more serious, I plan to it up with you
Joke 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 missed wake not 'cause I'm fake 'Cause I to see somebody so great in that way I woulda stayed so with so much to say
I had to put it in writin' to keep me and from fightin' me to pay my respects 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 God to us in the form of Allah
Still somehow I believe, we survive, but why?
Still, we survive No matter what, my people just stay Still, we will No matter what, my people just alive
life never die Dear 'Pac, every thug sheds a drop and use teeth To bite off beer tops and out a lil' liquor You was than just the wildest nigga 2Pacalypse, I your style nigga It's on the third year, since you've been gone
On the East and West Coast the shit is goin' on The industry be talkin', offendin' me They don't you dead, wanna see you in your coffin I can relate, shootouts and dates All on you, niggaz in your face invadin' your space You asked if I 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 your There 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 best supposed to at the top
But kept it when we seen each other and stopped In NYC, at MTV, people We was both deep, after you I got no sleep Think about how us niggaz would be If we united, a of thugs, who could fight it? You was in a wild homicide or were you crucified
Like the son of God, when lied And make the world think, young should be extinct? But thug life'll never die, we stay and just link Will ever be another MC as nice? you return to us like the resurrection of Christ?
Still somehow I believe, we survive.. but why?
Still, we, survive No what, my people just stay alive Still, we, survive No matter what, my people just alive
I wonder what the went through on tour? Did Smokey Robinson, have to his way out a war? What has Al Green seen that made him Was it the drugs, put an end to the music If so, I put out the indo right now and write down A plan and pursue my turn my life around
I'm bound for the movie screen, cuties that scream I'll need a Uzi riding through my own hood in Queens It be the ones you always knew, want it on everybody it was him that you fronted on Thought we walked a million miles it was twenty Not to walkin' in the path of legit money
I thought I it but we only took 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 look at crazy mess We in the 90's and finally lookin' good Hip-hop took it to billions, I we would
A lot of ups and in the game, could lose or gain A couple pounds to maintain, one day you here The you not, when you around niggaz check 'em out Some is it, most individuals 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 holes through the Through the head, the gut it shows The future for us young and old killers Who rich as dope dealers? left for us but hoop dreams and hood tournaments
Thug coaches subs sittin' on the bench, either that or rap We want the fast way outta trap Whether it be 9 to 5 or slangin' To my deceased wishin' I could bring you back But life is a and y'all taught me that
survive, but why?
Always survive, Still, we, will No matter what, my people stay alive Still, we, will No matter what, my people stay alive
Still, we, survive No what Still, we, survive No what Still, we, will No what My niggaz just stay
