2Pac - Grab The Mic (Starin’ Through My Rear View 2) lyrics
[2Pac - Grab The Mic Starin’ Through My Rear View 2 lyrics]
"I grabbed the mic and try to say, 'yes
Y'all' "
(Starin' at the world through my rearview)
("Somebody in the house say YEAH!")
"I grabbed the mic and try to say, 'yes
Y'all' "
(Starin' at the world through my rearview)
("Tick tock ya don't stop")
"I grabbed the mic and try to say, 'yes
Y'all' " (Got me starin' at the
World through my rearview)
("Somebody in the house say YEAH!")
"I grabbed the mic and try to say, 'yes
Y'all' " "Tick tock ya don't stop"
Nobody thought I'd make it
The world called me loser
Just a high school dropout, young drug abuser
Mama told me there'd be days like this
I never listened spent my childhood years in
My neighborhood prison
The world don't give a fuck about the kids
I can see from the poverty and
The evil shit they did to my young nation
Participation, more hesitation could
Turn lethal
When ain't no love for a young nigga
He turn evil and burn people with no hope
There's no peace so all my niggas start
Regulatin' on your streets
Bustin' the neighborhood scatters
Another drug war there ain't no truce or
Negotiatin' with thug lords
Tried conversatin' but he won't listen
He said the world is a
Livin' hell for God's children
Picture him still in the pen'
Doin' life plus two while I'm starin' at the
World through my rearview
"I grabbed the mic and try to say, 'yes
Y'all' "
(Starin' at the world through my rearview)
("Somebody in the house say YEAH!")
"I grabbed the mic and try to say, 'yes
Y'all' "
(Starin' at the world through my rearview)
("Tick tock ya don't stop")
It's clearer now
'cause I'm a noted individual
Plus I'm a don
Not just a small time criminal
Times have changed, homies died
Only lives remain
Massive amounts of narcotics help
Me hide the pain
Wishin' on a Benz, came up on a Jag
Then got a yacht for the quiet times
Reflect on the past
All my homeboys that didn't make it
For you I'll do it
'member back in the days as young truants
HUH! tellin' me to beware
Because you cared, helped me to be prepared
Cemetery full of homies no longer here
But what about the babies
Lost in watchin' burglars
Too dumb to be a dealer
Too young to be a murderer
I'm beggin' you God
Don't make their lives too hard
They're already scarred
Too doped up to see the stars
We're livin' to die, everybody is high
Plus I'm high too
Starin' at the world through my rearview HUH!
"I grabbed the mic and try to say, 'yes
Y'all' " (Got me starin' at the
World through my rearview)
("Somebody in the house say YEAH!")
"I grabbed the mic and try to say, 'yes
Y'all' "
(Starin' at the world through my rearview)
("Tick tock ya don't stop")
"I grabbed the mic and try to say, 'yes
Y'all' " "Somebody in the house say YEAH!"
Pictures are plenty, handlin' semi
Sippin' Henny i hustle for pennies
Know my own feared by many
I watched and took notes as
A child I strategized
Witnessin' crack dealings and drug
Killings have scattered lives
Niggas don't know me but they think
That we could be closer than homies
Nigga you're phoney so quit buyin' drinks
Mind on my money, you're funny
You're about my currency
Niggas don't wanna see me
Shootin', but they ain't worry me
Livin' to tell prison is hell for a nigga
They're usin' my bail
Built bigger jails for a nigga
Father I'm feelin' tired, forgive me
'cause I'm a sinner livin' life as a thug
While duckin' cops and the criminals
Homies is dead and buried
Past times are gone
You ask why I drink liquor?
'Cause my mind is gone and if I die
Then let me watch what we been through
Starin' at the world through my rearview HUH!
(Starin' at the world through my rearview)
("Somebody in the house say YEAH!")
"I grabbed the mic and try to say, 'yes
Y'all' " They caught me starin' at the
World through my rearview
"I grabbed the mic and try to say, 'yes
Y'all' " "Tick tock ya don't stop"
"I grabbed the mic and try to say, 'yes
Y'all' " "Somebody in the house say YEAH!"
"I grabbed the mic and try to say, 'yes
Y'all' " "Tick tock ya don't stop"
"I grabbed the mic and try to say, 'yes
Y'all' " "Somebody in the house say YEAH!"
"I grabbed the mic and try to say, 'yes
Y'all' " "Tick tock ya don't stop"
"I grabbed the mic and try to say, 'yes
Y'all' " "Somebody in the house say YEAH!"
"I grabbed the mic and try to say, 'yes
Y'all' " "Tick tock ya don't stop"
"I grabbed the mic and try to say, 'yes
Y'all' " "Somebody in the house say YEAH!"
"I grabbed the mic and try to say, 'yes
Y'all' " "Tick tock ya don't stop"
Starin' at the world through
My motherfucking rearview
Peep what a nigga trying to say recognize
That a nigga done did it all
And seen it all and got shit
To say to the motherfuckers
That ain't seen shit and did shit yet
Peep game
Look you little young motherfuckers
Stop running your heads up
Against brick walls
These old niggas got something for
You nigga you better listen
Better get your over that hump, you know?
You got to get over the humps ha ha
Staring at the world through
My motherfucking rearview
That's right baby, Thug life, West Side
Death Row, Outlawz, you know what time it is
Staring at the world through my rearview HUH!
They got me staring at the
World through my rearview aight
"I grabbed the mic and try to say, 'yes
Y'all' " "Somebody in the house say YEAH!"
"I grabbed the mic and try to say, 'yes
Y'all' " "Tick tock ya don't stop"
"I grabbed the mic and try to say, 'yes
Y'all' "
"I grabbed the mic and try to say, 'yes
Y'all' " "Tick tock ya don't stop"
"I grabbed the mic and try to say, 'yes
Y'all' "
