Still I believe, we always survive, but why?
To my wherever you are Big? You know shit is rough after you slid You in God's hands now, keep a for me kid nuttin' changed still, party and bullshit We used to fuck R&B bitches and see who sickest For every hit you made, rappers afraid to come out
Machine Gun Funk from I came through to smoke blunts You to my hood, we was broke I wonder if we stayed that way, there have been gunsmoke? Still on the block around numb from coke, I guess so 'Cause now with paper, shit is ghetto But fuck it black, you your life, though your loved ones
Peace to daughter and your newborn son It used to be fun, records 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 more serious, I plan to toast it up with you
Joke with you, happy we on top, the most Ain't too many real out there, I feel some But doubt they're capable to take it where you it to I missed your wake not I'm fake 'Cause I hate to see somebody so great in way I stayed so long with so much to say
I had to put it in writin' to me and Brooklyn 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 that's ready to die You was God to us in the form of Allah
Still I believe, we always survive, but why?
Still, we survive No matter what, my people stay alive Still, we will No matter what, my just stay alive
Thug never die Dear 'Pac, every thug a tear drop and use teeth To bite off beer tops and pour out a lil' You was more than the wildest nigga 2Pacalypse, I understand your nigga It's goin' on the third year, since you've gone
On the East and Coast the same shit is goin' on The industry be talkin', offendin' me They don't believe you dead, wanna see you in coffin I can relate, shootouts and court All eyez on you, niggaz in your face your space You if I could trade in your place, how would I hold up?
How would I ride, before I fold up? How did you know your rhymes it was your time to go? You it in every line, all in your flow There could never be peace, I to quote Can't believe I heard my on the realest shit you ever wrote We had words the best supposed to clash at the top
But kept it when we seen each other and stopped In NYC, at MTV, people We was both deep, after you left I got no Think about how us niggaz would be If we united, a nation of thugs, who could it? You was caught in a homicide or were you crucified
Like the son of God, when lied And make the think, young blacks should be extinct? But thug never die, we stay high and just link Will ever be another MC as nice? you return to us like the resurrection of Christ?
Still I believe, we always survive.. but why?
Still, we, will No matter what, my people just alive Still, we, will No matter what, my people just alive
I what the Commodores went through on tour? Did Smokey Robinson, have to shoot his way out a What has Al Green seen that 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 pursue my dream turn my life
'Cause I'm for the movie 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' everybody it was him you fronted on Thought we walked a miles it was just twenty Not used to walkin' in the of legit money
I thought I made it but we only took 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 and finally it's lookin' good Hip-hop took it to billions, I knew we
A lot of ups and downs in the game, could or gain A pounds tryin' to maintain, one day you here The you not, when you around niggaz check 'em out is bout it, most individuals plots And run the spots, some to stay to theyselves While others no cares and stay in jail
than fifty percent of us Endin' up with through the chest the head, through the gut it shows The future for us young shooters and old Who become as dope dealers? Nothing for us but hoop dreams and hood tournaments
coaches with 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 life is a and y'all taught me that
survive, but why?
Always survive, Still, we, survive No matter what, my people stay alive Still, we, will No matter what, my just stay alive
Still, we, will No what Still, we, survive No matter Still, we, survive No matter My niggaz stay alive
