[2Pac, Outlawz, Geronimo Ji Jaga - In the Event of My Demise lyrics]
In the event of my demise
When my heart can beat no more
I hope I die for a principle
Or a belief that I have lived for
I will die before my time
Because I feel the shadow's depth
So much I wanted to accomplish
Before I reached my death
I have to come to grips with the possibility
And wiped the last tear from my eyes
I loved all who were positive
In the event of my demise
In the event of my demise don't shed no tear
I'll share my wisdom with the world
They'll know I was here
Know I was clear, everything I said I meant
A outlaw
When I was born they prepared my ditch
Said I won't live long, statistic showed
I'm tryna live past 24 realistic goal
Listen all you gotta stay cold inside
That's what I tell myself when
I feel alone sometime
But I can't cry, I don't tear no more
I love god, from death I don't fear no more
A part taken in this movement
To better my people
Though they see me on TV
I tell them we equal
Don't look at me as a stranger
I'm one of your own
We was raised in concrete and grew as a rose
Still I rise, but never get a chance to fly
Mama please don't cry
In the event of my demise
In the event of my demise
Can't breathe no more
Hope I die for a principle
Something I lived for dying before my time
Feel the shadows of depth
Trying to fulfill all my dreams
Before I reach my death
Came to grips with the possibility
The world's killing me
And my soldiers die young with no sympathy
I wipe the last tear from my eyes
I loved all who stand strong
In the event of my demise
If I should die before I awake
Let my family be straight off
The money I make give my son, what he needs
Other than his father
Is it self respect, better get his honor
With the law come to swallow my soul
It's so big
Cause the street took enough of my life
We all see it's a cycle make you feel psycho
Everything struggles behind this man
See nobody love you
Got a piece of the streets and
It's gonna die with me
May your, soul forgive me
Makaveli's within me
In principle, we stand by stronger than power
We gon' die by the rules you can never devour
On the earth from my birth
Fell nothing but pain
Only thing I ever gave was the baby the name
That's my heart
And if I should go I'll go on in sparks
That's the event of my demise
And it lurks in the dark
In the event of my demise
Can't breathe no more
Hope I die for a principle
Something I lived for dying before my time
Feel the shadows of depth
Trying to fulfill all my dreams
Before I reach my death
Came to grips with the possibility
The world's killing me
And my soldiers die young with no sympathy
I wipe the last tear from my eyes
I loved all who stand strong
In the event of my demise
Now as I stand here, a man here
Not a perfect one, but a searching one
Seek in another, blazing time
Sound crazy but I'm actually tryin'
To escape my mind tryna rise in time
But hoping that you didn't notice
When I was at my low as
So I knew they were watching
I couldn't stop it
So many things I wanted to accomplish
Too many dreams wasted with no promise
From out the darkness I struggle
To see the light rumble deep in the night
Hustlin with all of my might
Some won't see it that way
But us is given praise
But all of them will dream
That I did it my way
In the event of my demise
I was born to a storm that won't lead up
And I was raised to stay
Brave with my head up
But thing ain't got better
We still gettin' wetter in this bad weather
I need more than a sweater and a leather
Yo, ain't nothin meant to last forever
So the struggling and the suffering
Ain't gon' last forever
And my will, probably be like two lines long
It will read I'm dead but my soul lives on
And my spirit still living though
My body is gone in the event of my demise
I love all who stay strong
I love all who stay strong
In the event of my demise, come' on
In the event of my demise
When my heart can beat no more
I hope I die for a principle
Or a belief that I have lived for
I will die before my time
Because I feel the shadow's depth
So much I wanted to accomplish
Before I reached my death
I have to come to grips with the possibility
And wiped the last tear from my eyes
I loved all who were positive
In the event of my demise
When my heart can beat no more
I hope I die for a principle
Or a belief that I have lived for
I will die before my time
Because I feel the shadow's depth
So much I wanted to accomplish
Before I reached my death
I have to come to grips with the possibility
And wiped the last tear from my eyes
I loved all who were positive
In the event of my demise
In the event of my demise don't shed no tear
I'll share my wisdom with the world
They'll know I was here
Know I was clear, everything I said I meant
