[2Pac: Verse 1]
6
Resist the temptation of the beast
7
You slip and loose your grip and forever fall asleep
8
The venom is contagious, be wary of its spell
9
What you thought would be heaven, turns out to be hell
10
I wonder if she knows, the devil's taking off her clothes
11
Deep into her soul, slow, now he's in control
12
Poppa's doing worse, a victim of his deadly curse
13
Wouldn't be the first, to leave the ghetto in a hearse
14
Oh and how it hurts, the children pay the biggest price
15
Never get the chance, to grow up with a happy life
16
Blame it on the rock, but we know that's a bunch of crap
17
Someone from the top, supplying us with plenty crack
18
Keep 'em in a daze, don't let them see the other way
19
Let 'em all get paid, won't live to see another day
20
See they never got a breath of the sunshine
21
Now the kid's addicted and only hit it one time
22
We're destined to be dead as a nation
23
Don't let it come to this, resist the temptation
24
[Amel Larrieux: Hook]
25
From, pyramid top to, bottom of bowl
26
From, whips and lock your fist and afro
27
We, dug too deep to give up this gold
28
Don't beat boy, and you won't be sold
29
Running on empty, you ain't gon' go
30
Running on empty, lead you to nowhere
31
We fact, nobody can lie
32
So: RE, SIST, THE, TEMPTATION
33
[2Pac: Verse 2]
34
Gamble for your soul with the devil
35
You wonder how low, can you go, before you finally reach the lowest level
36
As everybody sit and stares
37
There's no use looking in your eyes cause there isn't anybody there
38
And though it may make you wanna cry
39
Got you stealing from your family and you don't even know why
40
I guess you think they'll understand
41
You feel cold, cause you sold your soul to the dopeman
42
Oh now there's no turning back, in fact
43
I's decided, that would live and die for the crack
44
You got no friends cause you cheated 'em all
45
Feel lonely, low, defeated and small
46
No one was there when I took the wrong path
47
And nobody'd care if I died in a blood bath
48
But is this my destiny?
49
Tell the lord they got my mind, but he can have the rest of me
50
Cause I'm ready to end it all
51
One bullet to the brain, forgive my sins and all
52
I didn't mean to be a bother
53
A failure as a son, a husband and a father
54
I wish I could turn back the time
55
Go back and find, why I let it crack my mind
56
And my only explanation, it came to this
57
Resist the temptation
58
[Amel Larrieux: Hook]
59
From, pyramid top to, bottom of bowl
60
From, whips and lock your fist and afro
61
We, dug too deep to give up this gold
62
Don't beat boy, and you won't be sold
63
Running on empty, you ain't gon' go
64
Running on empty, lead you to nowhere
65
We fact, nobody can lie
66
So: RE, SIST, THE, TEMPTATION
67
[2Pac: Verse 3]
68
Your death left family behind
69
Your wife and your son find a gun, and pieces of daddy's mind
70
On the door and on the floor
71
Now her husband is dead, what else is she living for?
72
So now she picks up the gun
73
Now son is the only one
74
Grows up in adoption homes
75
Gets older, bolder, and cold cause he's left alone
76
To him, nothing is funny
77
Mind set on one thing, making his money
78
Since I was left with no hope
79
I want money and gold ropes and so I slang dope
80
Now I'm the neighborhood dopeman
81
And as long cause they smoking I'll never be broke man
82
I live the life of a trifle
83
Following a cycle, so I'm just a psycho
84
But if I had a better life
85
I would have lived a good life and did more things right
86
Hard to resist temptation
87
With all the aggravation and the frustration
88
Of living in the ghetto
89
Your mind gets twisted, just like a pretzel
90
So it's time that I check out
91
But one nosy cop, just won't let me get out
92
They got me trapped once again
93
With a choice: shoot the cop, or live life in the pen
94
I can't stand the frustration
95
Resist the temptation
96
[Amel Larrieux: Hook w/ extra ad-libs]
97
From, pyramid top to, bottom of bowl
98
From, whips and lock your fist and afro
99
We, dug too deep to give up this gold
100
Don't beat boy, and you won't be sold (resist the temptation)
101
Running on empty, you ain't gon' go
102
Running on empty, lead you to nowhere
103
We fact, nobody can lie
104
So: RE, SIST, THE, TEMPTATION
