Title: Hellrazor
Artist: Tupacl
(Verse 1)
Born thuggin', heartless and mean muggin' at 16
On the scene watching fiends buggin'
Kicking up dust with the older G's
Soaking up the game that was told to me
I ain't never touched a gat that I couldn't shoot
I learned not to trust a ***** from a prostitute
Was taught lessons...a young nigga asking questions
While other suckas was guessing, I was gangsta sexing
Elementary wasn't meant for me...can't regret it
I'm headed for the penitentiary
I'm cut classes, I'm ****in blastin', straight mashin'...
Mobbing through the overpass laughing
While these other mother****ers try to figure out
No doubt...they jealous of a nigga's clout
Tell me Lord can ya feel me...
I keep my finger on the trigger, cause some niggas tried to kill me
And mama raised a hellraiser
Everyday getting paid, police on my pager...straight stressing
A fugitive my occupation is under question
wanted for investigation....and even though I'm marked for death
I'ma spark 'til I lose my breath...mother****ers
Every time I see the paper, I see my picture
When a nigga gettin' richer they come to get ya
It's like a mother****in' trap
And they wonder why it's hard being black
Dear Lord can ya feel me....gettin' major...ugh
Mama raised a hellraiser
Hook:
Stress gettin' major
Lord be my Savior
Mama raised a hellrazor
(Verse 2)
Tell me Lord can ya feel me, show a sign
**** near running outta time...everybody's dying
Mama raised a hellraiser...I can't figure
Why ya let the police beat down niggas
I'm startin' to think all the rich in the world is safe
While the po' babies rushing into early graves
God probably saved the youth
Ain't nothing else to do but have faith in you
Dear Lord, I live the life of a thug, hope you understand
Forgive me for my mistakes, I gotta play my hand
And my hand's on a 16 shot...semi-automatic
Crooked cop killin' glock...
Tell me Lord can ya feel me, show a way
I'm praying, but my enemies won't go away
And everywhere I turn, I see niggas burn
And every nigga that I know is on death row
My younger homie's 17 and he paid a price
Li'l young mother****er doing triple life
Though I tell him in his letters, its getting better
If my nigga knew the truth, he'd hit the roof
Just heard ya baby's mama...was smoked out
**** the drama...wanna break my loc out
Smoking blunts getting drunk off that Tanqueray gin
'Bout to break my nigga out the ****in'...pen
Mama raised a hellraiser...Come on...ugh
Mama raised a hellraiser
Dear Lord can ya feel me
Hook:
(Verse 3)
Dear Lord can ya hear me...It's just me
A young nigga tryin' to make it on these rough streets
I'm on my knees, beggin' please, come and save me
The whole world done made a nigga craazy
I got my .357...can't control it
Screaming die mother****er and he's...loaded
Everybody run for cover...Aww ****
Thug life mother****er! Duck quick
Now am I wrong, if I am don't worry me
It's Do or Die getting high 'til they bury me
Dear Lord if ya hear me, tell me why
A lil girl like Latasha...had to die
She never got to see the bullet...just heard the shot
Her little body couldn't take it...she shook and dropped
When it's all on the news how she bucked the girl...to kill Latasha
Now screaming **** The World...
In the end it's my friends...that flip flop
Lips locked on my **** when my **** drop
Thug life mother****er! I lick shots
Every nigga on my block...drop 2 cops
Dear Lord can ya hear me...when I die
Let a nigga be strapped, ****ed up, and high
With my hands on the trigger...thug nigga
Stressing like a mother****ing drug dealer
And even in the darkest nights,I'ma thug fo' life
I got the heart to fight...now
Mama raised a hellraiser...why cry
That's just life in the ghetto...Do or Die
and................
Title: Who Do You Believe In
I see mothers in black cryin, brothers in packs dyin
Plus everybody's high, too doped up to ask why
Watchin our own downfall, witness the end
It's like we don't believe in God cause we livin in sin
I asked my homie on the block why he strapped, he laughed
Pointed his pistol as the cop car passed and blast
It's just another murder, nobody mourns no more
My tear drops gettin bigger but can't figure what I'm cryin for
Is it the miniature caskets, little babies
Victims of a stray, from drug dealers gone crazy
Maybe it's just the drugs, visions of how the block was
Crack came and it was strange how it rocked us
Perhaps the underlyin fact stay high explain genocide
It's when we ride on our own kind
What is it we all fear, reflections in the mirror
We can't escape fate, the end is gettin nearer
[Chorus 2X: 2Pac]
Who do you believe in?
I put my faith in God, blessed and still breathin
And even though it's hard, that's who I believe in
Before I'm leavin, I'm askin the grievin - who do you believe in?
[Verse Two: 2Pac]
Can't close my eyes cause all I see is terror
I hate the man in the mirror
Cause his reflection makes the pain turn realer
Times of Armageddeon, murder in mass amounts
In this society where only gettin the cash counts
I started out as a beginner
Entered the criminal lifestyle became a sinner
I make my money and vacate, evade prison
Went from the chosen one to outcast, unforgiven
And all the Hennessy and weed can't hide, the pain I feel inside
You know, it's like I'm livin just to die
I fall on my knees and beg for mercy, not knowin if I'm worthy
Livin life thinkin no man can hurt me
So I'm askin - before I lay me down to sleep
Before you judge me, look at all the **** you did to me, my misery
I rose up from the slums, made it out the flames
In my search for fame will I change? I'm askin
[Chorus]
[Verse Three: Kadafi]
Faith in Allah, believe in me and this plastic
Cause so far I done witnessed to many dead niggaz in caskets
With they chest plates stretched like elastic
And what's worse I'm on front line, holdin down camp, still mashin
Heard my cousin, one of the old heads from the block
Just came home October of '95 back in Yardsville stuck
With a three to five, if he don't act up, now he realize
If you don't stay wise, then in this game you ****ed
Talk to my baby girl, give me the word on what she heard
One of the grimmies is snitchin, Diamond a stool pigeon I talked to him
He said he didn't, my man said he did, in fact he's sure
Cause he just came home off of bail
