Still I believe, we always survive, but why?
To my wherever you are Whattup Big? You shit is rough after you slid You in hands now, keep a place for me kid Ain't nuttin' changed still, and bullshit We to fuck R&B bitches 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 to my hood, we was broke I wonder if we stayed that way, there have been gunsmoke? on the block around fiends numb from coke, I guess so 'Cause now with paper, shit is still But fuck it black, you livin' life, though your loved ones
Peace to daughter and your newborn son It used to be fun, records to see your response But, now competition is none, now that you're And these niggaz is wrong, usin' your name in And they claim to be New York's king? It ain't that It's more serious, I plan to toast it up you
with you, happy we on top, the most official Ain't too many ones out there, I feel some But doubt they're capable to take it where you it to I your wake not 'cause 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 me and Brooklyn from fightin' me to pay my respects and move to the side But I probably wouldn't got off my knees to let people by You can't kill 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 survive No what, my people just stay alive
Thug never die Dear 'Pac, thug sheds a tear drop and use teeth To bite off beer tops and pour out a liquor You was more than the wildest nigga 2Pacalypse, I understand your style It's goin' on the third year, you've been gone
On the and West Coast the same shit is goin' on The industry be talkin', offendin' me They don't believe you dead, see you in your coffin I can relate, shootouts and court All eyez on you, niggaz in face invadin' your space You asked if I could trade in your place, how would I 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 flow could never be peace, I have to quote Can't believe I heard my on the realest shit you ever wrote We had words 'cause the best to clash at the top
But kept it when we seen each other and stopped In NYC, at MTV, people We was both deep, you left I got no sleep Think how us real niggaz would be If we united, a nation of thugs, who could it? You was in a wild homicide or were you crucified
Like the son of God, when Lucifer And make the think, young blacks should be extinct? But thug life'll die, we stay high and just link Will there be another MC as nice? Will you return to us like the resurrection of
Still I believe, we always survive.. but why?
Still, we, will No matter what, my people stay alive Still, we, will No matter what, my just stay alive
I wonder what the Commodores went through on Did Smokey Robinson, have to 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, should I put out the indo right now and down A plan and pursue my dream turn my around
'Cause I'm bound for the screen, cuties that scream I'll need a extra Uzi through my own hood in Queens It be the ones you always knew, want it on Tellin' everybody it was him you fronted on Thought we a million miles it was just twenty Not to walkin' in the path of legit money
I thought I it but we only took baby steps Up the ladder, where they pay me checks To my clicks I got it I said, "Baby bless" That was the 80's but now look at 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 pounds tryin' to maintain, one day you 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 others have no cares and stay in jail
More than percent of us Endin' up with holes the chest the head, through the gut it shows The future for us young shooters and old Who become rich as dope Nothing left for us but hoop and hood tournaments
Thug coaches with subs on the bench, either that or rap We the fast way outta this trap Whether it be 9 to 5 or slangin' To my deceased Gods I could bring you back But is a dream and y'all taught me that
survive, but why?
Always survive, Still, we, will No what, my people just stay alive Still, we, survive No what, my people just stay alive
Still, we, will No matter Still, we, survive No what Still, we, will No matter My just stay alive
