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 nuttin' changed still, party and bullshit We used to R&B bitches and see who rhyme sickest For hit you made, more rappers afraid to come out
Machine Gun Funk Queens I came through to smoke blunts You to my hood, we was broke I wonder if we stayed that way, would there been gunsmoke? Still on the block around fiends numb from coke, I so 'Cause now with paper, shit is still But fuck it black, you livin' your life, though your ones
to your daughter and your newborn son It used to be fun, makin' records to see your But, now competition is none, now that you're And these niggaz is wrong, usin' your name in And they claim to be New king? It ain't about that It's serious, I plan to toast it up with you
Joke with you, happy we on top, the official Ain't too many ones out there, I feel some But doubt they're capable to take it you took it to I missed wake 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 I believe, we always survive, but why?
Still, we survive No matter what, my people just stay Still, we survive No matter what, my just stay alive
Thug life die Dear 'Pac, every thug sheds a drop and use teeth To bite off beer and pour out a lil' liquor You was than just the wildest nigga 2Pacalypse, I understand your style goin' on the third year, since you've been gone
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 asked if I trade in your place, how would I hold up?
How long would I ride, before I up? How did you know your rhymes 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 realest you ever wrote We had 'cause the best supposed to clash at the top
But it brotherly when we seen each other and stopped In NYC, at MTV, people We was both deep, you left I got no sleep Think about how us niggaz would be If we united, a nation of thugs, who could it? You was caught in a wild or were you crucified
the son of God, when Lucifer lied And make the world think, blacks should be extinct? But thug life'll never die, we high and just link Will there ever be another MC as Will you return to us like the resurrection of
Still somehow I believe, we always survive.. but
Still, we, survive No matter what, my people just stay Still, we, survive No matter what, my people just stay
I wonder what the went through on tour? Did Robinson, have to shoot his way out a war? has Al Green seen that 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 plan and pursue my turn my life 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 miles it was just twenty Not used to walkin' in the of legit money
I thought I made it but we took 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 it's lookin' took it to billions, I knew we would
A lot of ups and in the game, could lose or gain A pounds tryin' to maintain, one day you here The next you not, when you niggaz check 'em out Some is bout it, most individuals And run the spots, some choose to stay to others have no cares and stay in jail
More than percent of us up with holes through the chest Through the head, through the gut it The future for us shooters and old killers Who become rich as dope left for us but hoop dreams and hood tournaments
Thug with subs sittin' on the bench, either that or rap We the fast 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 dream and y'all me that
Always survive, but
Always survive, Still, we, will No what, my people just stay alive Still, we, survive No matter what, my people just stay
Still, we, survive No matter Still, we, survive No what Still, we, will No matter My niggaz just alive
