tha streetz r deathrow

Tupac Shakur

Growing up as an inner city brotha
where every other had a pops and a motha
I was tha product of a heated lover
Nobody knew how deep it screwed me
and since my pops never knew me
my family didn t know what ta do with me
was I somebody they despise
curious look in they eyes
as if they wonder if i m dead or alive
poor momma can t control me
quit tryin ta save my soul, I wanna roll with my homies
a ticken timebomb
can t nobody fade me
packin a 380
and fiendin for my mercedes
suckers scatter
but it don t matter i m a cool shot
punks drop from all tha buckshots tha fools got
i m tired of being a nice guy
i ve been poor all my life, but don t know quite why
so they label me a lunatic
could care less
death or success
is what I quest
cause i m fearless

I just murdered a man, i m even more stressed
wearin a vest
hopein that their aimin at my chest
much too young to bite tha bullet
hand on tha trigga
I see my life before my eyes each time I pull it
I hope I live to be a man
must be part of some big plan to keep a brotha in tha state penn
counting pennys over tha years
I d done stacked many
proven wrong those
who swore i d wouldn t live till twenty
now they gotta cope
since it s tha only thing I know
it s difficult to let it go
i m startin to loose my hair cause I worry
hustlin to keep from gettin buried
but now I gotta move away now
cause these suckers wanna spray where I lay down
my homie lost his family and snapped
shot up half tha block to bring them back

i m dangerous
when drunk I only drink beer
gin makes me sin
unable to think clear
heneesee, makes me think my enemy is getting close
BOOM BOOM BOOM
got me shooting at a ghost
some call me crazy
but this is what you gave me
amongst tha babies, who raised up from tha slavery
I sport a vest and hit tha sess to kill tha stress
moved out west and I invest in all tha best
those who test will find a bullet in they chest
put ta rest
by a brotha who was hopeless
grow up broke on tha rope of insanity
how many pistols smoking coming from a broken family
i m sick of being tired
sick of tha sirens, body bags, and tha gun firing
tell bush to push tha button cause i m fed
tired of hearin these voices in my head

this goes out to my partners in tha Live Squad (like it ain t nothin )
and all my partners involved in that 187
watch your back...
(cause i ll beat you down, like it ain t nothin )
There got to be a better way...
(cause i ll beat you down, like it ain t nothin )
There s too many of us in tha cemetary
(cause i ll beat you down, like it ain t nothin )
come on, what we gonna do now
(cause i ll beat you down, like it ain t nothin )
