Death Row That s where mother ers is endin up Dear mama
I m caught up in this sickness I robbed my adversaries
but slipped and left a witness Wonder if they ll catch me
or will this nigga snitch Should I shoot his bitch
or make the nigga rich? Don t wanna commit murder
but damn they got me trapped Hawkin while I m walkin
and talkin behind my back I m kind of schizophrenic
I m in to win it Cause life s a Wheel of
Fortune here s my chance to spin it Got no time for cops
who trip and try to catch me Too in trigger happy
to let them suckers snatch me Niggaz gettin jealous (jealous) tryin to find my stash Whip out the nine
now I ma dive and pump your ass Peter picked a pepper
but I can pick a punk Snatched him like a bitch
and threw him in the trunk The punk thought I was bluffin
but swear I m nothin nice Before I take your life
first wrestle with these
mics I listen to him scream
Tray Deee went insane I guess the little
mites had finally found his brain New Rovers pull me over
I m sentenced to the pen Remember that little
bird
he snitched and told a
friend It s trouble on my mind
I m with the old timers And five-oh
blaow blaow..
turn em into forty-niners [Tupac sings] Bye bye
I was never meant to live Can t be positive
when the ghetto s where you live Bye bye
I was never meant to be Livin like a thief
runnin through the streets Bye bye
and I got no place to go
Where they find me? 16 on Death Row Dear mama
these cops don t understand me I turned to a life of crime
cause I came from a broken family My uncle used to touch me
I never told you that Scared what you might do
I couldn t hold you back I kept it deep inside
I done let it fuel my anger I m down for all my homies
no mercy for a stranger The brother in my cell
is 16 as well It s hard to adapt
when you re black and you re trapped in a livin Hell I shouldn ta let him catch me Instead of livin sad in jail I coulda died free and happy And my cellmate s raped on the norm And passed around the dorm
you can hear his gettin torn They made me an animal Can t sleep
instead of countin sheep
niggaz countin cannibals And that s how it is in the pen Turn old and cold
and your soul is your best friend My mama prayed for me Tell the Lord to make way for me
prepare any day for me (why?) Cause when they come for me they find a struggler To the death I take the breath from your jugular The trick is to never lose hope I found my buddy hangin dead from a rope
16 on Death Row [Tupac sings] Bye bye
I was never meant to live Can t be positive
when the ghetto s where you live Bye bye
I was never meant to be Livin like a thief
runnin through the streets Bye bye
and I got no place to go
Where you find me? 16 on Death Row Dear mama
they sentenced me to death Today s my final day
I m countin every breath I m bitter cause I m dyin
so much I haven t seen I know you never dreamed
your baby would be dead at 16 I got beef with a sick society that doesn t give a shit And they too quick to say goodbye to me They tell me the preacher s there for me He s a crook with a book
that mother er never cared for me He s only here to be sure I don t drop a dime to God bout the crimes he s commitin on the poor
and how can these people judge me? They ain t my peers and in all these years
they ain t never love me I never got to be a man
must be part of some big plan to keep a nigga in the state pen And to my homies out buryin mother ers Steer clear of these Aryan mother ers Cause once they got you locked up They got you trapped
you re better off gettin shot up I m convinced self-defense is the way Please
stay strapped
pack a gat every day I wish I woulda known while I was out there Now I m straight headin for the chair [Tupac sings] Bye bye
I was never meant to live Can t be positive
when the ghetto s where we live Bye bye
I was never meant to be Livin like a thief
runnin through the streets Bye bye
and I got no place to go
Where you find me? 16 on Death Row 16 on Death Row It s to all my partners in the penitentiaries 16 on Death Row |
