Still I believe, we always survive, but why?
To my dogs you are Whattup 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 to fuck R&B bitches and see who rhyme sickest For every hit you made, rappers afraid to come out
Machine Gun Funk from Queens I through to smoke blunts You to my hood, we was broke I if we stayed that way, would there have been gunsmoke? on the block 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
Peace to daughter and your newborn son It to be fun, makin' records to see your response But, now competition is none, now you're gone And these niggaz is wrong, usin' your name in And they claim to be New king? 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 ones out there, I some But doubt they're to take it where you took it to I missed your not 'cause I'm fake 'Cause I hate to see somebody so in that way I stayed 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 have got off my to let people by You kill nothin' that's ready to die You was like God to us in the form of
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 stay
Thug never die Dear 'Pac, every sheds a tear drop and use teeth To bite off beer tops and pour out a liquor You was than just the wildest nigga 2Pacalypse, I understand your style It's on the third year, since you've been gone
On the East and West Coast the same is goin' on The be talkin', offendin' me often don't believe you dead, wanna see you in your coffin I can relate, and court dates All eyez on you, niggaz in your face your space You asked if I could trade in place, how would I hold up?
How long would I ride, before I up? How did you know through your rhymes it was your to go? You predicted it in every line, all in flow There could never be peace, I have to Can't believe I heard my name on the realest shit you ever 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, people We was both deep, after you left I got no about how us real niggaz would be If we united, a of thugs, who could fight it? You was caught in a wild homicide or you crucified
the son of God, when Lucifer lied And make the world think, young blacks should be But thug life'll never die, we high and just link there ever be another MC as nice? Will you to us like the resurrection of Christ?
Still somehow I believe, we always survive.. but
Still, we, survive No what, my people just stay alive Still, we, survive 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 music If so, should I put out the indo right now and down A plan and pursue my dream turn my life
I'm bound for the movie screen, cuties that scream I'll 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 it was just twenty Not used to walkin' in the path of legit
I thought I made it but we 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 at this crazy mess We in the and finally it's 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 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 others have no and stay in jail
than fifty percent of us Endin' up with holes through the the head, through the gut it shows The future for us shooters and old killers Who become rich as dope Nothing left for us but hoop dreams and tournaments
Thug coaches with subs on the bench, either that or rap We want the way outta this trap Whether it be 9 to 5 or crack To my deceased wishin' I could bring you back But life is a dream and y'all me that
Always survive, but
Always survive, Still, we, will No matter what, my just stay alive Still, we, survive No matter what, my people just alive
Still, we, will No matter Still, we, survive No matter Still, we, survive No what My just stay alive
