This Ain't Livin |
I hear even the smaller G’s be dippin' Chevy Impalas |
While flossin' their gold D’s, O.G.'s, is who they follow |
We swallow tomorrow’s seed, what we leave is hollow |
We feed violence and greed, let 'em lead tomorrow |
In time, they grip a nine, sippin' wine, they rap |
Still I be starin', watch the parents sacrifice their child |
The love’s gone, a thug’s home, with no love |
Feelin' so strong, make young boys into drug dealers |
Now one for adolescents, now dos for those |
Keep your friends by your side, even close your foes |
Now three for Johnny Law tryin' to take my chips |
I never pulled the trigger, didn’t touch that bitch |
Throw your hands in the air, it’s a robbery |
(censored) 'Pac, would you ride with me? |
Let’s go see what our enemies talkin' 'bout |
When G’s enter the house nobody’s walkin' out |
This ain’t livin', it’s similar to prison, we’re trapped |
My homies jealous plus they tell us that the phones is tapped |
I watch my back twenty-fo' seven |
And never let a busta send a G to ghetto heaven, you know |
This is how it goes when we floss with flows |
Before I toss your ho, it’ll cost you mo' |
I do shows, make a lot of dough, murder my foes |
But I’d give it all up, if it would help you grow |
This ain’t livin' |
Takes a life to make a life (takes a life) |
Livin' in the world of crime and I (takes a life) |
This ain’t livin' |
Can’t find a better way to break through |
This ain’t livin', I gotta do what I gotta do |
This ain’t livin' |
Takes a life to make a life (takes a life) |
Livin' in the world of crime and I (takes a life) |
Can’t find a better way to break through |
This ain’t livin', I gotta do what I gotta do |
Peep it — gunfire is produced at alarmin' rates |
Today’s youth, quick to shoot, get in the car and break |
«It Takes a Nation of Millions» if we intend to stop the killin' |
Just search your feelings, participatin' should be appealin' |
They’re our seeds and when they bleed, we bleed |
That’s what becomes of lonely children, they turn to G’s |
Heavenly father can you rescue |
My young nation, rest the Lord will protect you, respect due |
Not a threat as I step in blue, and check those |
That oppose when I froze them fools |
And who are you, to watch me fall farther? |
I disappeared, reappeared as the (censored) |
Follow me now |
Skippin' class, and livin' fast, will get your ass |
Stuck in the Pen', doin' life plus ten |
Young brother pump your brakes for me |
Before you choke, won’t you soak up some game from your big homie |
This ain’t livin', we givin' you jewels, use 'em as tools |
Explode on they industry and fade them fools |
You know the rules, gotta be a rider |
You can run the red lights but read the street signs, hey |
This for all of y’all that keep on raisin' hell |
Put a pistol in your hand and let you fade yourself |
It ain’t right, what you put your momma through, young G |
Gotta change your life, take the game from me |
This ain’t livin' |
Takes a life to make a life (takes a life) |
Livin' in the world of crime and I (takes a life) |
Can’t find a better way to break through |
This ain’t livin', I gotta do what I gotta do |
Takes a life to make a life (takes a life) |
Livin' in the world of crime and I (takes a life) |
Can’t find a better way to break through |
This ain’t livin', I gotta do what I gotta do |
Takes a life to make a life (takes a life) |
Livin' in the world of crime and I (takes a life) |
Can’t find a better way to break through |
This ain’t livin', I gotta do what I gotta do |
Takes a life to make a life (takes a life) |
Livin' in the world of crime and I (takes a life) |
Can’t find a better way to break through |
This ain’t livin', I gotta do what I gotta do |
