  Last year was a hard one, but life goes on
  Hold my head against the wall learnin right from wrong
  They say my ghetto intrumental, detrimental to kids
  As if they can't see the misery in which they live
  Blame me, for the outcome, ban my records - check it
  Don't have to bump this but please respect it
  I took a minus and now the hard times are behind us
  Turned into a plus, now they stuck livin blinded
  Hennesey got me feelin bad, time to stop drinkin
  Rollin, in my drop-top Jag, what's that cops thinkin?
  Sittin in my car, watch the stars and smoke
  I came a long way but still I got so far to go
  Dear mama, don't worry; I'ma watch for snakes
  Tell Setchu, that I love her, but it's hard to take
  I got the letter that she sent me, and I cried for weeks
  This what came out when I tried to speak - all I heard was
    [Chorus - repeat 2X]
    (One, two, three, four)
    [2Pac]
  I see bloods and crips runnin up the hill
  Lookin for a better wayyyyyy..
  My brothers and sisters it's time to bail
  cause even thug niggaz prayyyyyy..
  Hopin God hear me, I entered the game; look how much I changed
  I'm no longer innocent - casualties of fame
  Made a lot of money, seen a lot of places
  And I swear I seen a peaceful smile on my mama's face
  when I gave her the keys to her own house, this your land
  Your only son done became a man
  Watchin time fly; I love my people do or die
  But I wonder why, we scared to let each other fly
  June 1-6, '7-1, the day
  mama pushed me out her womb, told me, "Nigga get paid."
  No one can understand me - the black sheep
  Outcasted from my family, now packin heat
  I run the streets, a young runaway, live for today
  When he died, I could hear him say, c'mon..
    [Chorus - repeat 2X]
    [Bad Ass]
  God help me out here, cause I'm posessed
  I need the root of all evil for my stress
  Cause money's like a stong prescription drug, it's got me addicted
  to the pleasure and the pain it inflicted
  Somethin bout the paper wit the pictures of the president's, head
  Damn, it's like a motherfuckin plague that spread
  It's epidemic; forgotten, forgotten it got worse
  I keep my head on straight, makin money cause it's cursed
  Makin money makes a difference day by day so I gotta stay
  paid, no doubt, day in and day out
  This life is like a vicious cycle called fightin to live
  No matter how hard you try, it's in death, you gotta die
  A lot of my, peers didn't make it to the years to come
  Did life doin right, or did life livin dumb
  Who has the answers? I wonder; I turn to my elders
  They aged and experienced, but they can't even tell ya
  or tell me, that there'll be light at the end of the road
  (Why?) Cause they don't even know
  A million thangs run through my mind..
  You ain't gotta be in jail to be doin time..
    [Chorus - repeat 2X]
    [Chorus repeats while Tupac speaks below]
    [2Pac]
  I feel fucked up in this bitch.
  I smoked half a ounce to the head
  Chocolate tye, indo, Hawaiian, lambsbread, buddha, all that shit
  I'm fucked up in this motherfucker, and Hennesey don't help
  and Hennesey don't help - Thug Passion in this muh'fucker
  Makaveli the Don puttin it down to the fullest, maximum overload
  3 Day Theory - Killuminati to your body
  with the impact of a 12 gauge shotty
  Double-I slugs, no love, straight thugs
