Still somehow I believe, we always survive, but
To my wherever you are Whattup Big? You know shit is rough you slid You in God's hands now, a place for me kid Ain't changed still, party 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 came to my hood, we was I wonder if we stayed that way, would there have gunsmoke? Still on the around fiends numb from coke, I guess so 'Cause now with paper, shit is ghetto But fuck it black, you livin' life, though your loved ones
to your daughter and your newborn son It to be fun, makin' records to see your response But, now is none, now that you're gone And these niggaz is wrong, usin' your name in And they claim to be New York's It ain't about that It's serious, I plan to toast it up with you
Joke with you, we on top, the most official Ain't too many real out there, I feel some 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 stayed so long with so 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 wouldn't have got off my knees to let people by You can't kill nothin' ready to die You was like God to us in the form of
Still 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
life 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 just the wildest 2Pacalypse, I understand your nigga It's goin' on the third year, since you've gone
On the East and West Coast the same shit is on The be talkin', offendin' me often don't believe you dead, wanna see you in your coffin I can relate, shootouts and court All eyez on you, niggaz in your 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 through your rhymes it was your time to go? You predicted it in line, all in your flow could 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 supposed to clash at the top
But kept it brotherly when we seen each other and In NYC, at MTV, watched We was both deep, after you left I got no Think about how us real niggaz be If we united, a of thugs, who could fight it? You was caught in a wild homicide or were you
Like the son of God, Lucifer lied And the world think, young blacks should be extinct? But thug life'll die, we stay high and just link Will there ever be MC as nice? you return to us like the resurrection of Christ?
Still I believe, we always survive.. but why?
Still, we, survive No matter what, my just stay alive Still, we, will No what, my people just stay alive
I wonder what the Commodores 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 now and write down A plan and pursue my dream turn my around
'Cause I'm bound for the movie screen, cuties scream need a extra Uzi riding through my own hood in Queens It be the ones you always knew, that 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 made it but we only baby steps Up the success ladder, they pay me checks To my when I got it I said, "Baby bless" That was the but now look 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 in the game, could lose or gain A couple pounds to maintain, one day you here The next you not, when you around niggaz 'em out Some is bout it, most individuals And run the spots, choose to stay to theyselves While others have no cares and in jail
More than fifty of us Endin' up with holes the chest Through the head, the gut it shows The future for us shooters and old killers Who rich as dope dealers? Nothing left for us but hoop and hood tournaments
Thug coaches with subs sittin' on the bench, that or rap We want the fast way outta trap Whether it be 9 to 5 or slangin' To my deceased Gods I could bring you back But life is a dream and y'all taught me
survive, but why?
Always survive, Still, we, will No matter what, my people just stay Still, we, will No matter what, my just stay alive
Still, we, survive No what Still, we, survive No matter Still, we, will No matter My niggaz just alive
