I put my soul in the song<br />to help us grow at times, but now our minds are gone<br />We went from brothers and sisters, to niggaz and bitches<br />We went from welfare livin, to worldwide riches<br />But somethin changed in this dirty game, everything's strange<br />Lost all my homies over cocaine.. mayne<br />See they ask me if I shed a tear, I ain't lie<br />See you gotta get high or die, cause even thugs cry<br /><br /><em>[Chorus]<br /><br /><em>[2Pac]<br />And all I see is these paranoid bitches, illegal adventures<br />Bustin motherfuckers with uppercuts, I leave 'em with dentures<br />Cause in my criminal mind, nobody violates the Don<br />I write your name on a piece of paper, now your family's gone<br />Why perpetrate like you can handle my team?<br />So merciless that my attack'll take command of your dreams<br />Leavin motherfuckers drownin in they own blood<br />Clownin takin pictures later<br />Laugh bout the punk bitches, that turned snitches<br />Regulate my area, the terror I represent<br />Makin yo' people disappear, you wonderin where they went?<br />Am I cold or is it just I sold my soul?<br />Addicted to these streets, never find true peace I'm told<br />Come take my body God, don't let me suffer any longer<br />Smoke a pound of marijuana, so I know it ain't long<br />Where is the end to all my misery, is there a close?<br />I suppose that's why I murder my foes, when thugs cry<br /><br /><em>[Chorus]<br /><br /><em>[2Pac over Chorus]<br />I shed tattooed tears for years<br />for my dead homeboys and my prison peers<br />Y'all ain't never heard my cries<br />Now you wonder why would you die?<br /><br /><em>[Chorus] <br />
