2Pac, Outlawz - Lost Souls lyrics

'Cause I hate to spend my
Life, my life, my life, my life
Duckin' one-time (lost soul)
How it start, how it start?

Started off with runnin' from coppers
Duck and hide from helicopters
We open fire, who can stop us?
Livin' the life of trife juveniles
Hopin' for Rikers
Gettin' 25 to life if the judge don't like us
In my clearest pictures
I see authorities itchin' to get us
ATF state Feds, scandalous bitches
How was it promised to us
Was it bitter or sweet?
See, if a nigga don't hustle
Then the nigga don't eat
On these streets, livin' do or die
Circle complete
Repetitive motions of felons in
A rush for G's please understand my history
A man of many hats lived a Thug Life
(Thug Life Baby) Comin' equipped
With plenty gats
Maybe I was just a lost soul, trapped in time
Livin' in between life, in the cracks
But blind even though we have hope for
Dreams that never came
Yet and still we all feel pain

Just wait until the rain turn to sunshine
‘Cause I hate to spend my life
My life, my life, my life duckin' one-time
Stranded in the County in the worst way
Hell of a way to spend my 21 birthday
Born in the ghetto as a street thug
It's for the neighborhood and weed
Spots that we love
Lost souls… lost souls, nigga
For my homeboys that passed on
Words from the mind of a lost soul
Just wait until rain turn to sunshine
‘Cause I hate to spend my life
My life, my life, my life duckin' one-time

My brother Sean, first on my list
He stuck with a three-five
When he get out, will I be dead or alive?
He taught me the rules so much
But still In Thugs I Trust
When in danger never hesitate to bust
And keep my fuckin' trap shut
My mom dukes got a little bit of thug in her
The devil loves sinners
Crackheads and drug dealers
Sometimes I feel like the
Streets are takin' over
Never stayin' sober, the brain over and over
Backtrack, my steps that I used
To take down New one love to my crew, ay yo
This one's for you

RIP … rest in peace to Mu grandmother
Know what we gotta do, baby, one-time

Just wait until the rain turn to sunshine
‘Cause I hate to spend my life
My life, my life, my life duckin' one-time
Yeah roll wit' a nigga
(Where my niggas at?) Roll wit' a nigga
Just wait until the rain turn to sunshine
(Sunshine) ‘Cause I hate to spend my life
My life, my life, my life duckin' one-time!
One-time! One-time! One-time!

I was born 22 years ago yesterday
(Happy birthday nigga happy birthday)
But see, I saw no reason for me to celebrate
Let me demonstrate
Entered the world from out a poisonous womb
Heroin bein' consumed
Already predictin' my doom
Soon to be one of the many misguided
Always the first one on the block to be done
Tried it and liked it
Lost before I had a chance to find my way
Now I travel through life
Not knowin' the time of day
Grind for pay, I'm on my way
But don't know where I'ma end up
I swear to God, this just a set-up
And these are the words from the
Mind of a lost soul

Just wait until the rain turn to sunshine
‘Cause I hate to spend my life
My life, my life, my life duckin' one-time
Yeah, the ballad of the lost souls
Just wait until the rain turn to sunshine
‘Cause I hate to spend my life
My life, my life, my life duckin' one-time
Ballad of the lost souls you know how it is
(Ride with me)
Just wait until the rain turn to sunshine
‘Cause I hate to spend my life
My life, my life, my life duckin' one-time
(I feel that shit) Can you feel
Me nigga? Can you feel me?
Just wait until the rain turn to sunshine
‘Cause I hate to spend my life
My life, my life, my life duckin' one-time
How bout we do one for all
The niggas in the pen?
Just wait until the rain turn to sunshine
‘Cause I hate to spend my life
(Walkin' in the sunshine)
My life, my life, my life duckin' one-time
One for Mutulu, one for Geronimo
(That's right One love)
Just wait until the rain turn to sunshine
‘Cause I hate to spend my life
(Walkin' in the sunshine)
My life, my life, my life duckin' one-time
(Killa) All the niggas gettin' beat up
By the dogs (Thug Life)
Just wait until the rain turn to sunshine
‘Cause I hate to spend my life
(Walkin' in the sunshine)
My life, my life, my life duckin' one-time
(One time nigga one time nigga)
All them niggas gettin' arrested
And ain't did shit
Just wait until the rain turn to sunshine
‘Cause I hate to spend my life
My life, my life, my life duckin' one-time

All of y'all, keepin' y'all in hell
For all of y'all, keepin' y'all in hell
Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself
For all of y'all, keepin' y'all in hell
Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself

For all my dogs, keepin' y'all in hell
Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself
For all my dogs, keepin' y'all in hell
Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself
For all my dogs, keepin' y'all in hell
Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself

Throw your hands up!
Throw your hands up! (Outlaw)
Throw your hands up!
Throw your hands up! (Outlaw)
It's for all my dogs, keepin' y'all in hell
Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself
