Bay Area All-Stars - The Song Continues On lyrics

Send a shout-out to the homie Pac
Know you out there somewhere right
Now writing rhymes, mayne, laying tracks
Straight love, you know what
I'm saying, always, man
We had never forgot about 2Pac, you know
That's our boy 'til the end

From hood to hood, block to block
The Bay always got love for 2Pac
From hood to hood, block to block
The Bay always got love for 2Pac

Uh, pen game impeccable, work game incredible
(How many songs did he do?) Nine songs a day
No less than four
A rap legend, an icon, irrefutable
Last time I seen him was
At my Rapper's Ball video (Rapper's Ball)
Pac, you'll be proud of me, pimpin'
I'm doing my best not only the Bay
But I'm holding down the West (The West)
And I just wanna thank Afeni (Why?)
For birthing Tupac Shakur
The greatest rapper in history

I'm glad we had a chance, to say goodbye
I shed so many tears and you changed my life
California Love, baby, ride or die
I can hear you right now, Pac
Yelling "Westside"
And West it is, we got the world going dumb
We gone make 'em understand, Pac
Where we coming from
Don't you worry homie, rest in peace
We appreciate your love
Let your soul run free

Look into the hearts of men
Every pumping valve
Man, I wish we had 2Pacalypse now like you
I wanna make the whole world love me
You let me know, only God can judge me
I got tears in my eyes as I write this verse
The whole Bay know you was hyphy first
You've been gone, we gon' stand strong
Immortalized, the legend lives on

Do you hear the people sing
Singing the songs that's in their veins?
It's the music of a people who
Have smiled and felt the pain
When the beating of your heart echoes
The beating of the drums
Know the song continues on
When tomorrow comes

This one for the great Amaru, god knew
That you would ride through the ghettos of
The world and provide food
For hopeless youth
Dope fiends with dope to use
The way that you spoke your
Views gave hope to dudes
2Pac, the legendary Shakur
Makaveli the Don, a prophet I'm sure
And '96, man, it don't seem like it's been
I can picture you rolling up in your 500 Benz

You gave me love on the "Ghetto Theme"
Put me on a million TV screens with you
I remember drinking liquor at Century Club
Watching superstars swoon over Thug Life
You took a youngin' from
The Crestside worldwide
Real thizzness, I lost family when you died
But, I'm a real outlaw and I'ma
Ride 'til the end of time
And when I see you on the other side
I crack the cap on the Henny
And big Backwood I light

All eyes on me, dear mama
It's me against the world
You know I get around like
Your Brenda's little girl blast for me
No I'm not telling you the blasphemy
Pac was a poet, his death was a tragedy

Come with me, Hail Mary to the soldiers
Spit at the cameras, flipping off the rollers
I swear you made a nation full of thugs
Put your W's up and make the West Coast feel
Like one, rest in peace, pac

Do you hear the people sing
Singing the songs that's in their veins?
It's the music of a people who
Have smiled and felt the pain
When the beating of your heart echoes
The beating of the drums
Know the song continues on
When tomorrow comes

(Ayy, Pac, wassup, mayne?)
Man, I've been missing Makaveli since '96
Pac, the game's change, here with hella wimps
"Picture Me Rollin'
" one of my favorite songs
Starin' at the World Through My Rearview
Life Goes On had dreams of working with you
But it never happened i ain't trippin
We'll collaborate some day in Heaven
All your albums classics, all of 'em slappin'
If there a heaven for a G
I know you got it crackin'

Makaveli, 2Pac, he was a legend
But he in a better place - on Earth
We call it heaven
'96 is the year that we lost a gift
You gone, but not forgotten
And you always will be missed

Man, Pac, we love you, ain't nobody above you
Your music touched us, and the people
We buzzin' it's all about Pac, yeah
The angel with the broken wings
Rose from concrete
He's still here is what it seems

Stand troops, recognize the truth
Here lies the dude who lived
Rough and died for you
Took slugs and spilled his blood
To lace the youth
And told young niggas to get
Up and face the blues
'Cause it's a thug's life
Every day is what we do
Love life, believe and you'll see it through
So to my brother Pac make a
Place for me with you
I'ma represent you 'til I reach the tomb

Do you hear the people sing
Singing the songs that's in their veins
It's the music of a people who
Have smiled and felt the pain
When the beating of your heart echoes
The beating of the drums
Know the song continues on
When tomorrow comes

He used to clown around
When he came around with the Underground
Hit the V Town with Khayree
On some thunder pound
Even directed the video (Mac Mall)
He was on some major shit way
Back then but we didn't know
How a genius get to work
Off the herb and the purp
Probably looking down
Smilin' now on some purp
And had love for us Mexicans
Loved to see young playas stackin' Benjamins

I wake up and blaze one for Pac every morning
It's Mr i Got Grapes, picture me rolling
Everybody knows this, or knew where they was
When they found out Pac passed
It was so messed up
We was crushed, couldn't believe it
Gorilla-Pinos and all
But we still slap your album
So the music lives on when tomorrow comes
We gon' still ride for Makaveli
From the low-lows to scrapers
You smell me? Ugh

Pac, he didn't mean to die
He got in over his head
Died for you but wasn't trying to be dead
He went round and round
'cause there wasn't nothing better to do
What could be better than dying for you?
Split the blunt, put the Hennessy in the cup
Let me see ya, let me see ya toss it up
We all feel 2Pac, now that he's gone
But recognize those alive who
Sing the same song, c'mon

Do you hear the people singing
Singing the songs that's in their veins?
It's the music of a people who
Have smiled and felt the pain
When the beating of your heart echoes
The beating of the drums
Know the song continues on
When tomorrow comes
