2Pac - Death Around the Corner lyrics

Child: Why you by the
Window? What's wrong daddy?
Mother: I know what's wrong
With that crazy motherfucker
He just stand by the goddamn window
With that fuckin' AK all day (there you go)
You don't work, you don't fuck, you don't eat
You don't even do a goddamn thing

I see death around the corner
Gotta stay high while I survive
In the city where the skinny niggas die
If they bury me, bury me as a G nigga
No need to worry
I expect retaliation in a hurry
I see death around the - corner, any day
Tryin' to keep it together
No one lives forever anyway
Strugglin' and strivin', my destiny's to die
Keep my finger on the trigger
No mercy in my eyes in a ball of confusion


I'm thinkin' 'bout my daddy
Madder than a motherfucker
They never shoulda had me
I guess I seen too many murders
The doctors can't help me
Got me stressin' with my pistol in my sheets
It ain't healthy
Am I paranoid? - Tell me the truth
I'm out the window with my AK, ready to shoot
Ran out of indo and my
Mind can't take the stress
I'm out of breath
Make me wanna kill my damn self but
I see death around the corner

("When we were kids, belonging felt good")
I see death around the corner
("But having respect
That feels even better")
I see death around the corner
("When we were kids, belonging felt good")
I see death around the corner
("But having respect
That feels even better")

I see death around the corner
The pressure's gettin' to me
I no longer trust my homies -
Them phonies tried to do me
Smokin' too much weed, got me paranoid
Stressed pack a gat and my vest
Under my clothes when I dress
Here's hopin' I die the way I lived
Straight thuggin'
Huggin' my trigger for all them
Niggas that was buggin'
My homie told me once
Don't you trust them other suckers
They front like they your homies
But they phony motherfuckers
And even if I did die young, who'd care
All I ever got was mean mugs and cold stares
Got homies in my head that
Done passed away screamin' "Please!"
Young nigga, make G's
I can't give up, although I'm hopeless
I think my mind's gone
All I can do is get my grind on
Death around the corner

("When we were kids, belonging felt good")
I see death around the corner
("But having respect
That feels even better")
I see death around the corner
("When we were kids, belonging felt good")
I see death around the corner
("But having respect
That feels even better")

(I was raised) I was raised in the city
Shitty ever since I was an itty bitty kiddy
Drinkin' liquor out my momma's titty
And smokin' weed was an everyday
Thang in my household
And drinkin' liquor til' you out cold
And though I'm grown now
Nigga it's still on - Pow!
Bustin on them niggas 'til they gone
How many more jealous ass bitches
Comin' for my riches
Now I gotta be suspicious when I bone
Cause if I ain't sharp and heartless
Them bitches'll start shit
Excuse me, but this is where we part bitch
No more game for free, please explain to me
Why niggas trip bitch, who you came to see?
Murder me now but see me later man
That's on my pops
I got homies that will hunt you 'til you drop
I hope the Lord can forgive me
I was a G and gettin' high
Was a way of bein' free
I see death around the corner

("When we were kids, belonging felt good")
I see death around the corner
("But having respect
That feels even better")
I see death around the corner
("When we were kids, belonging felt good")
I see death around the corner
("But having respect
That feels even better")

This is for all the real
Motherfuckin' niggas out there
I know you ain't scared to
Die we all gotta go, y'know?
A real motherfucker will pick
The time he goes and make sure he handles
His motherfuckin' business
(You think you're gonna live long
Enough to spend that money you fuckin hump?)
Y'all niggas stop actin' like
Pussies out there, all right
If any of you
Are tired of gettin' ripped off
By guys like that
I want his family dead! I want
His house burnt to the ground!
I wanna go there in the middle of the
Night I wanna piss on his ashes!
I want his family dead! I want
His house burnt to the ground!
I wanna go there in the middle of the
Night I wanna piss on his ashes!
I want that son of a bitch dead
I want him dead!
I want him dead, I don't care
