Still I believe, we always survive, but why?
To my wherever you are Whattup 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 and see who rhyme sickest For every hit you made, more rappers afraid to out
Machine Gun Funk from I came through to smoke blunts You came to my hood, we was I wonder if we that way, would there have been gunsmoke? Still on the around fiends numb from coke, I guess so 'Cause now with paper, is still ghetto But fuck it black, you livin' your life, though your loved
to your 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 niggaz is wrong, usin' your name in vain And they claim to be New York's king? It ain't about It's more serious, I to toast it up with you
with you, happy we on top, the most official Ain't too many real ones out there, I feel But doubt they're capable to it where you took it to I missed your wake not I'm fake 'Cause I hate to see somebody so great in way I woulda stayed so long 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 wouldn't have got off my to let people by You can't kill nothin' that's to die You was like God to us in the form of
Still somehow I believe, we always survive, but
Still, we survive No matter what, my just stay alive Still, we will No matter what, my people just stay
Thug never die Dear 'Pac, every thug sheds a tear drop and use To bite off tops and pour out a lil' liquor You was more than the wildest nigga 2Pacalypse, I your style nigga goin' on the third year, since you've been gone
On the East and West Coast the shit is goin' on The industry be talkin', 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 face invadin' space You asked if I trade in your place, how would I hold up?
How would I ride, before I fold up? How did you through your rhymes it was your time to go? You it in every 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 best to clash at the top
But kept it brotherly when we each other and stopped In NYC, at MTV, watched We was deep, after you left I got no sleep Think about how us real niggaz be If we united, a of thugs, who could fight it? You was in a wild homicide or were you crucified
Like the son of God, Lucifer lied And make the world think, young blacks be extinct? But life'll never die, we stay high and just link Will ever be another MC as nice? Will you return to us the resurrection of Christ?
Still somehow I believe, we always survive.. but
Still, we, survive No matter what, my people stay alive Still, we, will No matter what, my people just stay
I wonder what the Commodores went through on Did Robinson, have to shoot his way out a war? What has Al Green 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 for the movie screen, cuties that scream need a extra Uzi riding through my own hood in Queens It be the ones you always knew, that it on Tellin' everybody it was him you fronted on Thought we a million miles it was just twenty Not used to walkin' in the path of legit
I thought I it but we only took baby steps Up the success ladder, where pay me checks To my when I got it I said, "Baby bless" That was the 80's but now look at this mess We in the and finally it's lookin' good Hip-hop it to billions, I knew we would
A lot of ups and downs in the game, could lose or A couple pounds tryin' to maintain, one day you The you not, when you around niggaz check 'em out Some is bout it, most individuals And run the spots, some choose to stay to While others no cares and stay in jail
than fifty percent of us Endin' up holes through the chest Through the head, the gut it shows The future for us young and old killers Who become as dope dealers? Nothing left for us but hoop dreams and hood
Thug coaches with subs sittin' on the bench, either or rap We the fast way outta this trap it be 9 to 5 or slangin' crack To my Gods wishin' I could bring you back But is a dream and y'all taught me that
survive, but why?
Always survive, Still, we, will No matter what, my people just stay Still, we, survive No matter what, my people just stay
Still, we, will No what Still, we, survive No matter Still, we, will No matter My just stay alive
