2pac

They'll never take me alive
i'm gettin' high with my four-five [bad word] on these suckas
Time ta die
Even as a youngster [bad word] on tha back of the bus
i was a fool all through high school
kickin' up dust
but now i'm labled as a trouble maker
who can you blame ?
smokin' weed helped me take away the pain
so i'm hopeless
rollin' down the freeway swervin'
don't worry
i'm about to crash up on the curb cause my visions blurry
maybe if they tried to understand me
what should i do ?
i had to feed my [bad word]  family
what else could i do
but be a thug
out slangin' with the homies [bad word] hangin' with them phonies in the club
got my mind on danger
never been a stranger ta homicide
my cities full of gang bangers and drive bys
why do we die at an early age
he was so young
but still a victom of the 12 guage
my memories of a corpse
mind full of sick thoughts
and i ain't goin back to court
so [bad word] what you thought
im drinkin' [bad word] from my enemies
will i live to be 23

years and years of that rough [bad word] crazed and wild as a kid and growin tough with a knife
and livin trifed on the regular
