[00:00.01]I couldn't help but notice your pain
[00:01.50]My pain?
[00:02.45]It runs deep share it with me!
[00:02.47]Ohhhh
[00:05.50][Verse 1: 2Pac]
[00:27.00]They'll never take me alive, I'm gettin' high with my four-five
[00:30.50]Cocked on these suckas, time to die
[00:32.00]Even as a youngster causin' ruckus on the back of the bus
[00:36.00]I was a fool all through high school, kickin' up dust
[00:39.00]But now I'm labeled as a troublemaker who can you blame?
[00:41.00]Smokin' weed helped me take away the pain
[00:43.00]So I'm hopeless, rollin' down the freeway swervin', don't worry
[00:48.00]I'm 'bout to crash up on the curb cause my vision's blurry
[00:50.50]Maybe if they tried to understand me what should I do?
[00:54.00]I had to feed my fuckin' family what else could I do
[00:56.50]But be a thug? Out slangin' with the homies
[00:59.50]Fuck hangin' with them phonies in the clubs!
[01:01.00]Got my mind on danger, never been a stranger to homicide
[01:05.50]My city's full of gang-bangers and drive-by's
[01:08.00]Why do we die at an early age?
[01:10.00]He was so young, but still a victim of the 12 gauge
[01:13.00]My memories of a corpse, mind full of sick thoughts
[01:16.50]And I ain't goin' back to court, so fuck what you thought!
[01:19.50]I'm drinkin' Hennessy, runnin' from my enemies
[01:21.90]Will I live to be 23? There's so much pain
[01:24.99][Hook]

[01:36.00][Verse 2: Stretch]
[01:36.50]Years and years of that rough life
[01:38.50]Runnin' crazed and wild as a kid and growin' tough with a knife
[01:41.80]And livin' trifed on the regular, buckin' out competitors
[01:44.50]See 'em fake a move and chase 'em down like the fuckin' Predator
[01:48.00]Get in trouble every day in school, act a fool
[01:51.00]And you know I had to break every rule
[01:53.00]Showin' off for the bitches cause I had the mad rep
[01:56.00]So I had to watch my back when it was time to step
[01:59.00]But my grimies is the grimiest with love for me
[02:01.50]Pop, pop, pop, and send a chuckle up above for me
[02:04.00]Ayo, currency kept passin' me by, but I didn't cry, broke
[02:08.00]Got hit off with the pack and started sellin' coke
[02:11.00]And now the money's lookin' lovely
[02:13.00]Pop the drop top and now the bitches wanna rub me
[02:15.50]Kick 'em the game, it's all the same

[02:19.50]And now they label me the mack yo, people check it
[02:22.00]Get disrespected if you front on the Birdman, you heard, man
[02:25.00]Catch a couple shots from the Glock in my hand
[02:27.60]Damn! At least I'm realistic with my biscuit
[02:31.00]You know you get yo' ass twisted, so run for cover
[02:33.70]Me and my man got a plan, kickin' major dust
[02:36.00]So if you owe, nigga, look for the gauge to bust

[03:19.00]Cause this stress is gettin' major
[03:21.00]A buck 50 across the face with my razor
[03:23.40]What can I do but be a thug until I'm dead and gone?
[03:26.00]I keep my brain on the game and stay head strong
[03:29.30]These sorry bastards wanna kill me in my sleep
[03:31.50]I'm real, they cannot see
[03:32.40]And every day is just a struggle, steady thuggin' on the streets
