2Pac, Stretch - God Bless the Dead lyrics
[2Pac, Stretch - God Bless the Dead lyrics]
That's right, bwoy, it's goin' on, right here
Thug Life, God bless the dead
God bless the dead and buried, nigga
Don't worry
If you see God first, tell him shit got worse
I ain't mad, I know you representin' the crew
And I can picture you in heaven
With a blunt and a brew
Fuck the world, pain was a part of the game
If you a baller
Money went as quick as it came
My role models gone or they locked in the pen
Straight hustlers caught up in the whirlwind
The other day I thought I
Seen my homeboy Biggy
Sayin' shit don't stop, nigga, no pity
We all hoods and all we ever had was dreams
Money makin' motherfuckers plot
Scandalous schemes
In the gutter you learn to
Have a criminal mind
I was addicted to tryin'
Never meant to do time
My epitaph will read "was the last of G's"
Kicked the shit to make the white man bleed
God bless the dead
God bless the dead god bless the dead
God bless the dead god bless the dead
Man, ain't nobody promised me a thang
I been caught up in this game
Ever since I was a little
Motherfucker wantin' to hang
I can see 'em in my head – pow!
Memories of my nigga but he dead now
Lookin' back in my yearbook
All the years took half my peers
They're stretched for years
And if I die, will they all shed tears?
Two to the dome, leave me alone
Let me get my head clear
Paranoia got me lookin' in the mirror
Behind me, life without my 9
I'd rather do the time
See, I'm old enough to know
That ain't no justice
And why the hell am I locked in jail?
They let them white boys free
We be shocked as hell
In my mind I can see it comin'
And all the time it's a plot
To keep a nigga runnin'
I keep a gun and never run
Unless I'm comin' at ya
Cry later but for now
Let's enjoy the laughter god bless the dead
God bless the dead god bless the dead
God bless the dead god bless the dead
Rest in peace to all the
Motherfuckers that passed too early
All the young motherfuckers that was
Took in they prime
Real motherfuckin' G's, this one is for you
Yo Stretch, Biggy
Yo Big, this is to you, my nigga
Springfield Hollis Crew, Thug Life, YG'z
Sendin' they respect, ya know what I mean?
You my nigga for life, forever
You're always gonna be with a nigga
No matter what, don't forget that!
I pray before I go to sleep, "Dear God!"
Say my grace before I start to eat
'cause times is hard
So I'm droppin' to my knees, "Oh why!"
Why you had to take my
Nigga with the rock-a-bye?
You had to take a good
One, a ghetto hood son, uzi weighin' a ton
Niggas terrified of drama from the young gun
Hearin' that they did it outta
Fear don't amaze me
But it's mind-blowin' so I'm
Flowin' goin' crazy slipped, forgot the gun
But he didn't run like a punk
He shoulda had the gauge in the trunk
But spunk is what he had, kid
I'd rather attack Big
Now you 'bout to smell the aftermath
Of what the mag did
Wannabe suckas wanna test, I'm tellin' you
Yes the teflon's 'bout to rip
Through your fuckin' vest
Guess who? I'll make a mess
Of your crew quick
The spirit Biggy Smallz and
The thuggin' clique, yeah
God bless the dead god bless the dead
God bless the dead god bless the dead
