2Pac (Tupac Shakur) - Tha Streetz R Deathrow Lyrics

Growing up as an inner city brotha

where every other had a pops and a motha

I was tha product of a heated lover

Nobody knew how deep it screwed me

and since my pops never knew me

my family didn't know what ta do with me

was I somebody they despise

curious look in they eyes

as if they wonder if i'm dead or alive

poor momma can't control me

quit tryin' ta save my soul, I wanna roll with my homies

a ticken timebomb

can't nobody fade me

packin' a 380

and fiendin' for my mercedes

suckers scatter

but it don't matter i'm a cool shot

punks drop from all tha buckshots tha fools got

i'm tired of being a nice guy

i've been poor all my life, but don't know quite why

so they label me a lunatic

could care less

death or success

is what I quest

cause i'm fearless

now tha streetz R Deathrow





Chorus

(cause i'll beat you down, like it ain't nothin')

tha streetz R Deathrow

(cause i'll beat you down, like it ain't nothin')

tha streetz R Deathrow





I just murdered a man, i'm even more stressed

wearin' a vest

hopein' that their aimin' at my chest

much too young to bite tha bullet

hand on tha trigga

I see my life before my eyes each time I pull it

I hope I live to be a man

must be part of some big plan to keep a brotha in tha state penn

counting pennys over tha years

I'd done stacked many

proven wrong those

who swore i'd wouldn't live till twenty

now they gotta cope

since it's tha only thing I know

it's difficult to let it go

i'm startin' to loose my hair cause I worry

hustlin' to keep from gettin' buried

but now I gotta move away now

cause these suckers wanna spray where I lay down

my homie lost his family and snapped

shot up half tha block to bring them back

tha streetz R Deathrow







Chorus

(cause i'll beat you down, like it ain't nothin')

tha streetz R Deathrow

(cause i'll beat you down, like it ain't nothin')

tha streetz R Deathrow

(cause i'll beat you down, like it ain't nothin')

tha streetz R Deathrow

(cause i'll beat you down, like it ain't nothin')

(like it ain't nothin')





i'm dangerous

when drunk I only drink beer

gin makes me sin

unable to think clear

heneesee, makes me think my enemy is getting close

BOOM BOOM BOOM

got me shooting at a ghost

some call me crazy

but this is what you gave me

amongst tha babies, who raised up from tha slavery

I sport a vest and hit tha sess to kill tha stress

moved out west and I invest in all tha best

those who test will find a bullet in they chest

put ta rest

by a brotha who was hopeless

grow up broke on tha rope of insanity

how many pistols smoking coming from a broken family

i'm sick of being tired

sick of tha sirens, body bags, and tha gun firing

tell bush to push tha button cause i'm fed

tired of hearin' these voices in my head

tha streetz R Deathrow







Chorus

(cause i'll beat you down, like it ain't nothin')

tha streetz R Deathrow

(cause i'll beat you down, like it ain't nothin')

tha streetz R Deathrow

(cause i'll beat you down, like it ain't nothin')

tha streetz R Deathrow

(cause i'll beat you down, like it ain't nothin')

tha streetz R Deathrow

(cause i'll beat you down, like it ain't nothin')

this goes out to my partners in tha Live Squad (like it ain't nothin')

and all my partners involved in that 187

watch your back...

(cause i'll beat you down, like it ain't nothin')

There got to be a better way...

(cause i'll beat you down, like it ain't nothin')

There's too many of us in tha cemetary

(cause i'll beat you down, like it ain't nothin')

come on, what we gonna do now

(cause i'll beat you down, like it ain't nothin')
