2Pac - Live Medley lyrics

Out on bail, fresh out of jail
California dreamin'
Soon as I step on the scene
I'm hearin' hoochies screamin'
Fiendin' for money and alcohol
The life of a Westside player
Where cowards die and the strong ball
Only in Cali where we riot, not rally
To live and die
In LA we wearin' Chucks, not Ballys
Dressed in Locs and Khaki suit's
And ride is what we do
Flossin' but have caution: we
Collide with other crews
Famous because we program
Worldwide, let them recognize from
Long Beach to Rosecrans
Bumpin' and grindin' like a slow jam
It's Westside
So you know the Row won't bow down to no man
Say what you say
But give me that bomb beat from Dre
Let me serenade the streets of LA
From Oakland to Sac-town
The Bay Area and back down
Cali is where they put their mack down
Give me love!

California knows how to party
California knows how to party
Keep it rocking keep it rocking

California Love death Row
Let's take 'em to church

My homeboy this goes out to my homeboy
If there ain't no justice for the dawg
Ain't no justice whatsoever

Back in elementary, I thrived on misery
Left me alone
I grew up amongst a dyin' breed
Inside my mind couldn't find a place to rest
Until I got that Thug Life tatted on my chest
Tell me
Can you feel me? I'm not livin' in the past
You wanna last? See the first to blast
Remember Kato, no longer with us
He's deceased call on the sirens
Seen him murdered in the streets
Now he rest in peace
Is there a heaven for a G? Remember me
So many homies in the cemetery
Shed so many tears
Lord, I suffered through the years
And shed so many tears lord

Now that I'm strugglin' in this business
By any means label me greedy gettin' green
But seldom seen
And fuck the world 'cause I'm cursed
I'm havin' visions of leavin'
Here in a hearse god, can you feel me?
Take me away from all the
Pressure and all the pain
Show me some happiness again
I'm goin' blind, I spend my
Time in this cell, ain't livin' well
I know my destiny is Hell, where did I fail?
My life is in denial and when I die
Baptized in eternal fire, shed so many tears

Lord, I suffered through the years
(C'mon wit' it) and shed so many tears
Lord, I suffered through the years
And shed so many tears
Lord, I suffered through the years
And shed so many tears
