Still I believe, we always survive, but why?
To my wherever you are Whattup Big? You know 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 fuck R&B bitches and see who sickest For hit you made, more rappers afraid to come out
Machine Gun Funk Queens I came through to smoke blunts You came to my hood, we was I wonder if we stayed way, would there have been gunsmoke? on the block around fiends numb from coke, I guess so 'Cause now paper, shit is still ghetto But fuck it black, you livin' your life, though your loved
Peace to your and your newborn son It used to be fun, records to see your response But, now is none, now that you're gone And these niggaz is wrong, usin' name in vain And claim to be New York's 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 many real out there, I feel some But doubt they're capable to take it where you it to I missed your wake not 'cause I'm 'Cause I hate to see so great in that way I stayed so long with so much to say
I had to put it in writin' to keep me and Brooklyn from Tellin' me to pay my respects and move to the But I probably have got off my knees 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 survive No matter what, my people stay alive Still, we survive No matter what, my people stay alive
Thug never die Dear 'Pac, every thug sheds a tear and use teeth To bite off beer tops and pour out a liquor You was more than just the nigga 2Pacalypse, I understand style nigga It's goin' on the third year, since you've gone
On the East and West Coast the same is goin' on The be talkin', offendin' me often They don't believe you dead, wanna see you in your I can relate, and court dates All eyez on you, niggaz in face invadin' your space You if I could trade in your place, how would I hold up?
How long I ride, before I fold up? How did you know through your 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 heard my name on the shit you ever wrote We had words 'cause the best supposed to at the top
But it brotherly when we seen each other and stopped In NYC, at MTV, watched We was deep, after you left I got no sleep Think about how us niggaz would be If we united, a of thugs, who could fight it? You was caught in a homicide or were you crucified
Like the son of God, when Lucifer And make the think, young blacks should be extinct? But thug never die, we stay high and just link Will there ever be MC as nice? Will you return to us the resurrection of Christ?
Still somehow I believe, we always survive.. but
Still, we, will No matter what, my just stay alive Still, we, will No matter what, my people just stay
I wonder what the Commodores through on tour? Did Smokey Robinson, to shoot his way out a war? What has Al Green seen that made him Was it the drugs, put an end to the business? 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 that I'll a extra Uzi riding through my own hood in Queens It be the you always knew, that want it on everybody it was him that you fronted on Thought we a million miles it was just twenty Not to walkin' in the path of legit 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 80's but now at this crazy mess We in the 90's and finally lookin' 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, you around niggaz check 'em out Some is it, most individuals plots And run the spots, choose to stay to theyselves While others no cares and stay in jail
More fifty percent of us up with holes through the chest Through the head, through the gut it The future for us young shooters and old Who become rich as dealers? Nothing left for us but dreams and hood tournaments
Thug coaches with sittin' on the bench, either that or rap We want the fast way outta 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
survive, but why?
Always survive, Still, we, survive No matter what, my just stay alive Still, we, will No matter what, my people just alive
Still, we, survive No matter Still, we, will No matter Still, we, will No what My niggaz stay alive
