Still somehow I believe, we always survive, but
To my dogs you are Whattup Big? You know shit is rough you slid You in God's hands now, a place for me kid Ain't nuttin' changed still, and bullshit We to fuck R&B bitches and see who rhyme sickest For every hit you made, more afraid to come out
Machine Gun Funk Queens I came through to smoke blunts You to my hood, we was broke I if we stayed that way, would there have been gunsmoke? Still on the block around fiends numb coke, I guess so 'Cause now with paper, is still ghetto But fuck it black, you livin' your life, your loved ones
Peace to daughter and your newborn son It used to be fun, makin' to see your response But, now competition is none, now you're gone And these is wrong, usin' your name in vain And they claim to be New York's It ain't about that It's more serious, I plan to toast it up you
Joke with you, we on top, the most official Ain't too many real ones out there, I feel But doubt they're to take it where you took it to I missed your wake not 'cause I'm 'Cause I to see somebody so great in that way I woulda so long with so much to say
I had to put it in writin' to keep me and Brooklyn 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 God to us in the form of Allah
somehow I believe, we always survive, but why?
Still, we will No matter what, my just stay alive Still, we will No matter what, my people just alive
Thug life die Dear 'Pac, every sheds a tear drop and use teeth To bite off beer and pour out a lil' liquor You was more than just the nigga 2Pacalypse, I your style nigga It's goin' on the third year, since you've been
On the East and Coast the same shit is goin' on The industry be talkin', me often They don't believe you dead, wanna see you in coffin I can relate, and court dates All eyez on you, in your face invadin' your 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 it in every line, all in your flow could never 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 kept it brotherly when we seen each and stopped In NYC, at MTV, watched We was both deep, after you left I got no Think about how us real would 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, when lied And make the world think, blacks should be extinct? But thug life'll die, we stay high and just link there ever be another MC as nice? Will you return to us the resurrection of Christ?
somehow I believe, we always survive.. but why?
Still, we, will No matter what, my people just stay Still, we, will No matter what, my people stay alive
I wonder what the Commodores went on tour? Did Smokey Robinson, to shoot his way out a war? What has Al Green seen made him religious? Was it the drugs, put an end to the music If so, I put out the indo right now and write down A and pursue my dream turn my life around
'Cause I'm bound for the movie screen, cuties that I'll need a extra Uzi riding through my own hood in It be the ones you always knew, want it on Tellin' it was him that you fronted on Thought we walked a miles it was just twenty Not used to walkin' in the path of money
I thought I made it but we took baby steps Up the success ladder, where they pay me To my when 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 it's good Hip-hop took it to billions, I we would
A lot of ups and downs in the game, could lose or A couple tryin' to maintain, one day you here The next you not, when you around check 'em out is bout it, most individuals plots And run the spots, some choose to to theyselves While others have no cares and 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 rich as dope Nothing left for us but hoop 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 bring you But life is a dream and y'all me that
Always survive, but
Always survive, Still, we, survive No what, my people just stay alive Still, we, will No what, my people just stay alive
Still, we, will No matter Still, we, survive No matter Still, we, will No matter My niggaz just alive
