To my dogs you are Big? You know shit is rough after you slid You in hands now, keep a place for me kid Ain't nuttin' still, party and bullshit We used to R&B bitches and see who rhyme sickest For every hit you made, rappers afraid to come out
Gun Funk from Queens I came through to smoke blunts You to my hood, we was broke I wonder if we stayed that way, would there have gunsmoke? Still on the block around numb from coke, I guess so 'Cause now with paper, shit is ghetto But fuck it black, you your life, though your loved ones
Peace to your daughter and your son It used to be fun, makin' records to see response But, now competition is none, now that gone And these niggaz is wrong, usin' name in vain And they claim to be New king? It ain't about that It's more serious, I plan to it up with you
Joke with you, happy we on top, the most too many real ones out there, I feel some But doubt they're capable to take it where you it to I missed your not 'cause I'm fake I hate to see somebody so great in that way I woulda so long with so much to say

life never die Dear 'Pac, every thug a tear drop and use teeth To bite off beer tops and pour out a lil' You was more just the wildest nigga 2Pacalypse, I understand your nigga goin' on the third year, since 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, and court dates All eyez on you, in your face invadin' your space You asked if I could in your place, how would I hold up?

But kept it brotherly when we seen other and stopped In NYC, at MTV, people We was both deep, after you left I got no 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 should be 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 what, my people just stay alive Still, we, will No matter what, my people stay alive
I wonder the Commodores went through on tour? Did Smokey Robinson, to shoot his way out a war? What has Al Green seen that him religious? Was it the drugs, put an end to the business? If so, should I put out the indo right now and down A plan and pursue my dream my life around
