Generate meaning
1
Let us pray
2
Heavenly Father, hear a nigga down here
3
Before I go to sleep
4
Tell me, who do you believe in?
5
Who do you believe in?
6
[Verse One: 2Pac]
7
I see mothers in black cryin, brothers in packs dyin
8
Plus everybody's high, too doped up to ask why
9
Watchin our own downfall, witness the end
10
It's like we don't believe in God cause we livin in sin
11
I asked my homie on the block why he strapped, he laughed
12
Pointed his pistol as the cop car passed and blast
13
It's just another murder, nobody mourns no more
14
My tear drops gettin bigger but can't figure what I'm cryin for
15
Is it the miniature caskets, little babies
16
Victims of a stray, from drug dealers gone crazy
17
Maybe it's just the drugs, visions of how the block was
18
Crack came and it was strange how it rocked us
19
Perhaps the underlyin fact stay high explain genocide
20
It's when we ride on our own kind
21
What is it we all fear, reflections in the mirror
22
We can't escape fate, the end is gettin nearer
23
[Chorus 2X: 2Pac]
24
Who do you believe in?
25
I put my faith in God, blessed and still breathin
26
And even though it's hard, that's who I believe in
27
Before I'm leavin, I'm askin the grievin "“ who do you believe in?
28
[Verse Two: 2Pac]
29
Can't close my eyes cause all I see is terror
30
I hate the man in the mirror
31
Cause his reflection makes the pain turn realer
32
Times of Armageddeon, murder in mass amounts
33
In this society where only gettin the cash counts
34
I started out as a beginner
35
Entered the criminal lifestyle became a sinner
36
I make my money and vacate, evade prison
37
Went from the chosen one to outcast, unforgiven
38
And all the Hennessy and weed can't hide, the pain I feel inside
39
You know, it's like I'm livin just to die
40
I fall on my knees and beg for mercy, not knowin if I'm worthy
41
Livin life thinkin no man can hurt me
42
So I'm askin "” before I lay me down to sleep
43
Before you judge me, look at all the shit you did to me, my misery
44
I rose up from the slums, made it out the flames
45
In my search for fame will I change?I'm askin
46
[Chorus]
47
[Verse Three: Kadafi]
48
Faith in Allah, believe in me and this plastic
49
Cause so far I done witnessed to many dead niggaz in caskets
50
With they chest plates stretched like elastic
51
And what's worse I'm on front line, holdin down camp, still mashin
52
Heard my cousin, one of the old heads from the block
53
Just came home October of "˜95 back in Yardsville stuck
54
with a three to five, if he don't act up, now he realize
55
If you don't stay wise, then in this game you fucked
56
Talk to my baby girl, give me the word on what she heard
57
One of the grimmies is snitchin, Diamond a stool pigeon I talked to him
58
He said he didn't, my man said he did, in fact he's sure
59
Cause he just came home off of bail
60
[2Pac] Now tell me
61
[Chorus]
62
[Outro: spoken word]
63
Who do you believe in?
64
Is it Buddah, Jehovah, or Jah?Or Allah?
65
Is it Jesus?Is it God?Or is just yourself?
66
Definately not to be imposed, being a demon
67
Because this is the joy of believing!
68
Men, to believe in yourselves
69
But for sure, the higher power
70
Resides only to ride in the heart of the true
71
From the soul, of the man; for truth never has an alibi
72
In the poetry, or in it's realm
73
That's what pulls all words together
74
Just to understand, that every man, is his OWN man
75
And only man can satisfy the man
76
Only the soul of the man, the feelings of the man
77
The for realness of the man
78
You can't shake the man when you feel the man you know the man
79
And you gotta call yourself because you are that man
