Straight outta Oakland, California where we spark it on ya<br />Give a shout out to my partners in the darkest corners<br />I remember drinkin Hennesey, smokin weed<br />Fantasize about the things we'd grow to be<br />Had a partner named Snoop, loved to clown a stank<br />Smoke a pound a day, commenced to down a drank<br />Shooting craps in the alley til they chased us off<br />Pour a little for my homies but don't waste it all<br />Oooohweee, who popped that coochie best?<br />On my tattooed chest is where the hoochies rest<br />Having house parties in a crowded spot<br />And you can tell it's hot, they talk loud a lot<br />Everybody wanna dance when the slow jam come<br />Lookin dumb, cause you waitin for your chance to hump<br />Straight grindin, everybody havin fun<br />And it's cool til a fool pull a loaded gun<br />Cause another dude kicked his Bacardi over<br />He had to act a fool now the party's over<br />Gun shots rang like it's thunder<br />And everybody bum rushing and I'm rushing to get a number<br />Says she got a man but she's lying<br />Why? I seen her talking to this other guy and..<br />he's a dealer so you know she gonna sweat him<br />I ain't trippin I just hope he get em, I got nuttin but love<br /><br /><em>[chorus]<br /><em>[singers] Ain't got nuttin but love for ya<br /><em>[2Pac] I'm down for yours, nuttin but love<br /><em>[repeat 4X]<br /><br />I love to go back, to the block I got my game from<br />Cause uh, old man still drinkin, his breath still stinkin<br />He'd love to tell ya what he's thinkin<br />But I can't diss him he's my elder<br />He been livin here longer what that tell ya?<br />And little girls playin double dutch<br />Still blush, cause she don't get in trouble much<br />It's uhh, ponytails and barrettes<br />I gotta make it back home, before the sun decides to set<br />And little boys playin stick ball, quick y'all<br />Get out the street before they hit y'all<br />And as I reminisce, I think about my ghetto bliss<br />And wonder how we came to this<br />I help an old lady across the street, the cost is free<br />I can't take what she offers me<br />And this is how the world could be<br />This is how the world should be<br />Feels good to be back on the streets<br />Cause I know they got love for me, nuttin but love<br /><br /><em>[chorus]<br /><br />When I was young I used to want to be a dealer see<br />Cause the gold and cars they appealed to me<br />I saw our brothers getting rich slangin crack to folks<br />And the square's getting big for these sack of dope<br />Started thinking bout a plan to get paid myself<br />So I made myself, raised myself<br />Til the dealer on the block told me, "That ain't cool<br />You ain't meant to slang crack, you a rapper fool"<br />I got my game about women from a prostitute<br />And way back used to rap on the block for loot<br />I tryed to make my way legit, haha<br />But it was hard, cause rhymes don't pay the rent<br />And uhh, it was funny how I copped out<br />I couldn't make it in school, so finally I dropped out<br />My family on welfare<br />I'm steady thinking, since don't nobody else care<br />I'm out here on my own<br />At least in jail I have a meal and I wouldn't be alone<br />I'm feelin like a waste, tears rollin down my face<br />Cause my life is filled with hate<br />Until I looked around me<br />I saw nothing but family, straight up down for me<br />Panthers, Pimps, Pushers and Thugs<br />Hey yo, that's my family tree, I got nuttin but love<br /><br /><em>[chorus repeats for a while w/o 2Pac]<br />Oaktown -- <em>[singers] ain't got nuttin but love for ya<br />ain't got nuttin but love for ya <em>[repeats to fade]<br />
