Keepin it real
|
|
Verse One: 2Pac
|
|
I take a shot of Henessey now I'm strong enough to face the madness
|
Nickel bag full of sess weed laced with hash
|
Phone calls from my niggaz on the, other side
|
Two childhood friends just died, I couldn't cry
|
A damn shame, when will we ever change
|
And what remains from a twelve gauge to the brain
|
Arguements with my Boo is true
|
I spend mo' time with my niggaz than I do with you
|
But everywhere it's the same thang, that's the game
|
I'll be damned if a thang changed, fuck the fame
|
I'll be hustling to make a mill-ion, lord knows
|
Ain't no love for us ghetto children, so we cold
|
Rag top slowin down, time to stop for gas
|
Beep my horn for a hoochie with a proper ass, uhh
|
It ain't easy, that's my motto
|
Drinkin Tanqueray straight out the bottle
|
Everybody wanna know if I'm insane
|
My baby mama gotta mind full of silly games
|
And all the drama got me stressin like I'm hopeless, I can't cope
|
Me and the homies smokin roaches, cause we broke
|
Late night hangin out til the sunrise gettin high
|
Watchin the cops roll by
|
It ain't easy... that's right
|
|
Chorus: 2Pac
|
|
It ain't easy, being me
|
Will I see the penitentiary, or will I stay free
|
(repeat 3X)
|
|
Verse Two: 2Pac
|
|
I can't sleep niggaz plottin on to kill me while I'm dreamin
|
Wake up sweaty and screamin, cause I can hear them suckers schemin
|
Probably paranoid, problem is, them punks be fantasizin
|
A brother bite the bullet, open fire and I died
|
I wonder why this the way it is, even now
|
Lookin out for these killer kids, cause they wild
|
Bill Clinton can you recognize a nigga representin
|
Doin twenty to life in San Quentin
|
Gettin calls from my nigga Mike Tyson, ain't nuttin nice
|
Yo 'Pac, do something righteous witcha life
|
And even thou you innocent you still a nigga, so they figure
|
Rather have you behind bars than triggers
|
But I'm hold ya down and holla Thug Life, lickin shots
|
Til I see my niggaz free on the block
|
But no it ain't easy, hahahah
|
Til I see my niggaz free, on the block, oh
|
It ain't easy
|
|
Chorus 2.75
|
|
Verse Three: 2Pac
|
|
Lately been reminiscin
|
bout Peppermint Schnapps in Junior High hit the block
|
Keep an eye on the cops while D-Boys slang rocks
|
It's the project kid without a conscience, I'm havin dreams
|
of hearin screams at my concerts, me all my childhood peers
|
through the years tryin to stack a little green
|
I was only seventeen, when I started servin fiends
|
And I wish there was another way to stack a dollar
|
So my apoli', casue these hard times make me wanna holler
|
Will I live to see tommorrow, am I fallin off?
|
I hit the weed and then proceed to say fuck all of y'all
|
Ain't nobody down with me I'm thuggin, I can't go home
|
Cause muh-fuckers think I'm buggin, so now I'm in
|
this high powered cell at the county jail
|
Punk judge got a grudge, can't post no bail, what
|
do I do in these county blues
|
Gettin battered and bruised by the you know who
|
And these fakes get to shakin when they face me
|
Snakes ain't got enough nuts to replace me
|
Sittin in this, livin hell, listenin to niggaz yell
|
Tryin to torture em to tell, I'm gettin mail
|
But ain't nobody sayin much, the same old nuts
|
is makin bucks while these sluts is gettin fucked
|
They violated my probation, and it seems
|
I'll be goin on a long vacation, meanwhile
|
It ain't easy
|
No it ain't easy
|
