Generate meaning
1
Still somehow I believe, we always survive, but why?
2
To my dogs wherever you are
3
Whattup Big? You know shit is rough after you slid
4
You in God's hands now, keep a place for me kid
5
Ain't nuttin' changed still, party and bullshit
6
We used to fuck R&B bitches and see who rhyme sickest
7
For every hit you made, more rappers afraid to come out
8
Machine Gun Funk from Queens I came through to smoke blunts
9
You came to my hood, we was broke
10
I wonder if we stayed that way, would there have been gunsmoke?
11
Still on the block around fiends numb from coke, I guess so
12
'Cause now with paper, shit is still ghetto
13
But fuck it black, you livin' your life, though your loved ones
14
Peace to your daughter and your newborn son
15
It used to be fun, makin' records to see your response
16
But, now competition is none, now that you're gone
17
And these niggaz is wrong, usin' your name in vain
18
And they claim to be New York's king? It ain't about that
19
It's more serious, I plan to toast it up with you
20
Joke with you, happy we on top, the most official
21
Ain't too many real ones out there, I feel some
22
But doubt they're capable to take it where you took it to
23
I missed your wake not 'cause I'm fake
24
'Cause I hate to see somebody so great in that way
25
I woulda stayed so long with so much to say
26
I had to put it in writin' to keep me and Brooklyn from fightin'
27
Tellin' me to pay my respects and move to the side
28
But I probably wouldn't have got off my knees to let people by
29
You can't kill nothin' that's ready to die
30
You was like God to us in the form of Allah
31
Still somehow I believe, we always survive, but why?
32
Still, we will survive
33
No matter what, my people just stay alive
34
Still, we will survive
35
No matter what, my people just stay alive
36
Thug life never die
37
Dear 'Pac, every thug sheds a tear drop and use teeth
38
To bite off beer tops and pour out a lil' liquor
39
You was more than just the wildest nigga
40
2Pacalypse, I understand your style nigga
41
It's goin' on the third year, since you've been gone
42
On the East and West Coast the same shit is goin' on
43
The industry be talkin', offendin' me often
44
They don't believe you dead, wanna see you in your coffin
45
I can relate, shootouts and court dates
46
All eyez on you, niggaz in your face invadin' your space
47
You asked if I could trade in your place, how would I hold up?
48
How long would I ride, before I fold up?
49
How did you know through your rhymes it was your time to go?
50
You predicted it in every line, all in your flow
51
There could never be peace, I have to quote
52
Can't believe I heard my name on the realest shit you ever wrote
53
We had words 'cause the best supposed to clash at the top
54
But kept it brotherly when we seen each other and stopped
55
In NYC, at MTV, people watched
56
We was both deep, after you left I got no sleep
57
Think about how us real niggaz would be
58
If we united, a nation of thugs, who could fight it?
59
You was caught in a wild homicide or were you crucified
60
Like the son of God, when Lucifer lied
61
And make the world think, young blacks should be extinct?
62
But thug life'll never die, we stay high and just link
63
Will there ever be another MC as nice?
64
Will you return to us like the resurrection of Christ?
65
Still somehow I believe, we always survive.. but why?
66
Still, we, will survive
67
No matter what, my people just stay alive
68
Still, we, will survive
69
No matter what, my people just stay alive
70
I wonder what the Commodores went through on tour?
71
Did Smokey Robinson, have to shoot his way out a war?
72
What has Al Green seen that made him religious?
73
Was it the drugs, put an end to the music business?
74
If so, should I put out the indo right now and write down
75
A plan and pursue my dream turn my life around
76
'Cause I'm bound for the movie screen, cuties that scream
77
I'll need a extra Uzi riding through my own hood in Queens
78
It be the ones you always knew, that want it on
79
Tellin' everybody it was him that you fronted on
80
Thought we walked a million miles it was just twenty
81
Not used to walkin' in the path of legit money
82
I thought I made it but we only took baby steps
83
Up the success ladder, where they pay me checks
84
To my clicks when I got it I said, "Baby bless"
85
That was the 80's but now look at this crazy mess
86
We in the 90's and finally it's lookin' good
87
Hip-hop took it to billions, I knew we would
88
A lot of ups and downs in the game, could lose or gain
89
A couple pounds tryin' to maintain, one day you here
90
The next you not, when you around niggaz check 'em out
91
Some is bout it, most individuals plots
92
And run the spots, some choose to stay to theyselves
93
While others have no cares and stay in jail
94
More than fifty percent of us
95
Endin' up with holes through the chest
96
Through the head, through the gut it shows
97
The future for us young shooters and old killers
98
Who become rich as dope dealers?
99
Nothing left for us but hoop dreams and hood tournaments
100
Thug coaches with subs sittin' on the bench, either that or rap
101
We want the fast way outta this trap
102
Whether it be 9 to 5 or slangin' crack
103
To my deceased Gods wishin' I could bring you back
104
But life is a dream and y'all taught me that
105
Always survive, but why?
106
Always survive, always
107
Still, we, will survive
108
No matter what, my people just stay alive
109
Still, we, will survive
110
No matter what, my people just stay alive
111
Still, we, will survive
112
No matter what
113
Still, we, will survive
114
No matter what
115
Still, we, will survive
116
No matter what
117
My niggaz just stay alive
