2Pac - Young Niggaz lyrics
[2Pac - Young Niggaz lyrics]
I wanna dedicate this one
To Robert "Yummy" Sandifer
And all other lil' Young Niggas that's
In a rush to be gangstas
As a Young nigga
I'm almost runnin' in the wind
Give anything, to be that innocent again
When I was ten i didn't bang but I was
Hangin' with the homies
'Til them niggas started slangin'
Now they don't know me i got my hustle on
Learned to ignore what couldn't pay me
Lately I've been tryin' to make a million
Can you blame me?
With that jealousy they need to miss me
Don't sweat me
If them cowards really want me, come get me
And even I
Someday will die but I'm cautious
I'm fin' to ride
Put down the top, now we flossin'
Hit the freeway, let the wind blow
Drop the window
Workin' with a twenty sack of indo
Feelin' good
Stop through the hood, grab the young thugs
And I can't help but reminisce
Back when we slung drugs, though it's bad
But all we had was our hopes and dreams
Couldn't see unless we learned to
Slang dope to fiends as young niggas
He's the kind of G like everybody knows
(As a young nigga)
He's always G'd up, from head to toe
(My memories as a young nigga)
Always got it blown like Al Capone
(Strung nigga)
He's the downest G I've ever known
Back in Junior High, when we
Was barely gettin' by, when daddy died
That's when my momma started gettin' high
My neighborhood was full of drive-bys
Couldn't survive
All our homies livin' short lives
I couldn't cry told my momma if I did die
Just put a blunt in my casket
Let me get my dead homies high
Come follow me throughout my history
It's just me against the world stuck in
Misery as a young nigga
My only thing was to be paid
Life full of riches avoid
Snitches 'cause they shady, back in the days
We always found the time to play
But that's before they taught them
Gangbangers how to spray not just LA
But in the Bay and in
Chicago and even St louis
Every stadium that I go
When will they change?
Stuck in the game like a dumb nigga
Remember how it was, to be a young nigga
He's the kind of G that everybody knows
(As a young nigga)
He's always G'd up, from head to toe
(My memories as a young nigga)
Always got it blown like Al Capone
(young nigga)
He's the downest G I've ever known
I'm tellin' you to be young, have your brains
And have every limb and all that yo
Y'all niggas don't know how good
You really do got it
Muh'fuckers need to just calm down
And peep what the fuck they wanna do
For the rest of the life
'Fore you end your life before
You begin your life you dumb nigga
Now that I'm grown
I got my mind on bein' somethin'
Don't wanna be another statistic
Out here doin' nuttin
Tryin' to maintain in this dirty game
Keep it real and I will even if it kills me
My Young Niggas
Break away from these dumb niggas
Put down the guns and have some fun nigga
The rest'll come figure
Fame is a fast thang, that gangbangin'
Puttin' niggas in a casket
Murdered for hangin'
At the wrong place at the wrong time
No longer livin'
'Cause he threw up the wrong sign
And every day
I watch the murder rate increases
And even worse the epidemic and diseases
What is the future?
The projects lookin' hopeless, where
More and more brothers givin'
Up and don't care
Sometimes I hate when brothers act up
I hit the weed
And I proceed to blow the track up
For young niggas
He's the kind of G like everybody knows
(for the young niggas)
He's always G'd up, from head to toe
(My memories as a young nigga)
Always got it blown like Al Capone
(this for nigga, this for the young nigga)
He's the downest G I've ever known
He's the kind of G like everybody knows
He's always G'd up, from head to toe
He always got it blown like Al Capone
He's the downest G I've ever known
This go out to the young thugs, the have nots
(you know)
Little bad motherfuckers from the block
(that's right)
Them niggas that's thirteen and fourteen
Drivin' Cadillacs, Benzes and shit
(I see you boy) young motherfuckin' hustlers
(make that money boy) stay strong nigga
You could be a fuckin' accountant
Not a dope dealer you know what I'm sayin'?
(Go to school nigga, go to school)
Fuck around and, you pimpin' out here
You could be a lawyer (really doe)
Niggas gotta get they priorities straight
(Don't see Johnny Cochran out
In this motherfucker)
Really doe young Niggas little RahRah
(sup nigga) Especially my little cousins
Don't be no dumb guy
(Don't be a dumb nigga, listen, young niggas)
To Robert "Yummy" Sandifer
