Still somehow I believe, we always survive.. but
why?
To my dogs.. wherever you are
Whattup Big? You know shit is rough after you slid
You in God's hands now, keep a place for me kid
Ain't nuttin changed -- still _Party and Bullshit_
We used to +Fuck R&B Bitches+ and see who rhyme
sickest
For every hit you made, more rappers afraid to
come out
_Machine Gun Funk_, from Queens I came through to
smoke blunts
You came to my hood, we was broke
I wonder if we stayed that way, would there have
been gunsmoke?
Still on the block around fiends numb from coke, I
guess so
Cause now with paper, shit is still ghetto
But fuck it black, you livin your life, though
your loved ones
Peace to your daughter and your newborn son
It used to be fun, makin records to see your
response
But, now competition is none, now that you're gone
And these niggaz is wrong -- usin your name in
vain
And they claim to be New York's king? It ain't
about that
It's more serious, I plan to toast it up with you
Joke with you, happy we on top, the most official
Ain't too many real ones out there; I feel some
but doubt they're, capable, to take it where you
took it to
I missed your wake not cause I'm fake
cause I hate to see somebody so great in that way
I woulda stayed so long with so much to say
I had to put it in writin to keep me and Brooklyn
from fightin
Tellin me to pay my respects and move to the side
But I probably wouldn't have got off my knees to
let people by
You can't kill nothin that's _Ready to Die_
You was like God to us in the form of Allah
Still somehow I believe, we always survive.. but
why?
Still, we, will survive
No matter what, my people just stay alive
Still, we, will survive
No matter what, my people just stay alive
Thug Life never die..
Dear 'Pac, every thug sheds a tear drop -- and use
teeth
to bite off beer tops, and _Pour Out a Lil'
Liquor_
You was more than just the wildest nigga
+2Pacalypse+, I understand your style nigga
It's goin on the third year, since you've been
gone
On the East and West Coast the same shit is goin
on
The industry be talkin, offendin me often
They don't believe you dead, wanna see you in your
coffin
I can relate, shootouts and court dates
+All Eyez on You+, niggaz in your face invadin
your space
You asked if I could trade in your place, how
would I hold up?
How long would I ride, before I fold up?
How did you know through your rhymes it was your
time to go?
You predicted it in every line, all in your flow
There could _Never Be Peace_ I have to quote
Can't believe I heard my name on \"the realest
shit you ever wrote\"
We had words cause the best supposed to clash at
the top
but kept it brotherly, when we seen each other and
stopped
in NYC, at MTV, people watched
We was both deep, after you left, I got no sleep
Think about how us real niggaz would be
If we united, a nation of thugs, who could fight
it?
You was caught in a wild homicide, or were you
crucified
like the son of God, when Lucifer lied
and make the world think, young blacks should be
extinct?
But Thug Life'll never die, we stay high and just
link
Will there ever be another MC as nice?
Will you return to us like the resurrection of
Christ?
Still somehow I believe, we always survive.. but
why?
Still, we, will survive
No matter what, my people just stay alive
Still, we, will survive
No matter what, my people just stay alive
I wonder what the Commodores went through on tour?
Did Smokey Robinson, have to shoot his way out a
war?
What has Al Green seen, that made him religious?
Was it the drugs -- put an end to the music
business?
If so, should I put out the indo right now and
write down
a plan and pursue my dream turn my life around
Cause I'm bound for the movie screen, cuties that
scream
I'll need a extra Uzi riding through my own hood
in Queens
It be the ones you always knew, that want it on
Tellin everybody it was him, that you fronted on
Thought we walked a million miles it was just
twenty
Not used to walkin in the path of legit money
I thought I made it but we only took baby steps
Up the success ladder, where they pay me checks
To my clicks when I got it I said \"Baby bless\"
That was the 80's, but now look at this crazy mess
We in the 90's, and finally it's lookin good
Hip-hop took it to billions, I knew we would
A lot of ups and downs in the game, could lose or
gain
a couple pounds tryin to maintain -- one day you
here
the next you not; when you around niggaz, check
'em out
Some is bout it, most individuals plots
and run the spots, some choose to stay to
theyselves
While others have no cares and stay in jail
More than fifty percent of us
endin up with holes through the chest
through the head, through the gut it shows
The future for us young shooters and old killers
Who become rich as dope dealers?
Nothing left for us but hoop dreams and hood
tournaments
Thug coaches with subs sittin on the bench; either
that or rap
We want the fast way outta this trap
Whether it be 9 to 5 or slangin crack
To my deceased Gods wishin I could bring you back
But life is a dream and y'all taught me that
.. always survive.. but why?
Always survive, always
Still, we, will survive
No matter what, my people just stay alive
Still, we, will survive
No matter what, my people just stay alive
Still, we, will survive (no matter what)
Still, we, will survive (no matter what)
Still, we, will survive
No matter what, my niggaz just stay alive
why?
