f/ 2pac
[ja rule]
rest in peace to my nigga stretch, my nigga ´pac
so much pain
uhh.. yeah, huh, yeah
all my, niggas.. so much pain
uhh.. huh, yeah
yeah, so.. much..
ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhhh
ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhhh
[ja rule]
they´ll never take me alive, i´m gettin high with my fo´-five
cocked on these niggaz time to die
even as a lil´ nigga, you could picture me hot gun in the rain
i shed the tear, cause this nigga here inherits the pain
and now i´m labeled as a thug nigga - you know the game
smokin weed, fuckin hoes, slangin thangs, that´s the life i live
even if i tried to go back i´d get lost (come back)
and everything i seem to love i done lost
fuck the world if they can´t understand me
what else could i do? i had to feed my fuckin family
yo´ lies is my truth, so i´m a drug to your youth
and you don´t want ´em nowhere near me, now that they can hear me
i spits razors, never been a stranger to homicide
my city´s full of tote-slangers and chalk lines
why do we die at an early age?
nigga so young, but still a victim of a twelve-gauge
feel the rage this world has bestowed upon me
and i don´t give a fuck ´cause they don´t give a fuck ´bout me
so i keep - drinkin hennessy, bustin at my enemies
will i live to see twenty-three? there´s so much pain
[chorus]
ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhhh
i´m tired of the strain and the pain (so much pain)
ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhhh
i´m tired of the strain and the pain
[ja rule]
years and years of strugglin all my life
runnin wild as a kid, grew up blazin ´em right
i´m in a - little cell i call my soul lately
it´s been a - givin me hell and my heart is screamin, "don´t enter"
i´ve been cursed, for what it´s worth i feel dead
spittin to you, i know i´m in way over my head
but lord hear me, i believe in your "7 day theory"
three souls done sent this whole world teary (can you hear me?)
too hot for you to stand near me
it´s so much pain, and niggaz wanna kill me
i´m tired of the stress and the strain
but my, grimiest grimeys got love for me
they´re blazin, sendin shotguns up above for me
my face in, hennessy with no chaser
coke rises on every way in - keep us hustlin nigga
me and my man got a plan to get this paper nigga
so if you owe nigga, look for the gauge to blow nigga
i figured i´d be considered a killer
doin crime excited my mind and leadin the blind
i, can´t express my compassion, my satisfaction
for gettin fucked up and blastin - we all been there
taught from young to shoot, show no fear and lie
and wipe the tears from yo´ mother´s eyes - so much pain
[chorus] - repeat 2x
("they´ll never take me alive..." -> 2pac)
ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhhh
i´m tired of the strain and the pain
("they´ll never take me alive..." -> 2pac)
ooohhh, tired of the strain and the pain
("they´ll never take me alive..." -> 2pac)
i´m tired of the strain and the pain
("they´ll never take me alive..." -> 2pac)
ooooooohhhhhh, nooooooooooooo
("cocked on these suckers, time to die" -> 2pac)
[2pac]
they got me mobbin like i´m - loc´d and ready to get my slug on
i load my clip and slip my motherfuckin gloves on
i ain´t scared to blast on these suckers if they test me
trust, i got my glock cocked, playa if they press me
bust on motherfuckers with a - passion
better duck ´cause i ain´t lookin when i´m - ba-blastin
i´m a nut and drinkin hennessy
and gettin high on the lookout for my enemies
don´t wanna die, tell me why?
cause the stress gettin major
a buck-fifty ´cross the face with my razor
what can i do but be a thug until i´m dead and gone
i keep my brain on the game and stay headstrong
these sorry bastards wanna kill me in my sleep
i´m real they can not see
and everyday is just a struggle, steady thuggin on the streets
and i be, ballin loc, don´t let ´em make you worry
keep swingin at these suckers ´til you buried
i was born to raise - hell, a nigga from the gutter, word to mother
i´m tough - i´m kickin dust up, ready to bust
i´m on the scene steady muggin mean; until they kill me
i´ll be livin this life, i know you feel me
there´s so much pain
[chorus] - repeat 2x w/ variations
ooooohhhhh, pain
