Straight outta Oakland
California where we spark it on ya Give a shout out to my partners in the darkest corners I remember drinkin Hennesey
smokin weed Fantasize about the things we d grow to be Had a partner named Snoop
loved to clown a stank Smoke a pound a day
commenced to down a drank Shooting craps in the alley til they chased us off Pour a little for my homies but don t waste it all Oooohweee
who popped that coochie best? On my tattooed chest is where the hoochies rest Having house parties in a crowded spot And you can tell it s hot
they talk loud a lot Everybody wanna dance when the slow jam come Lookin dumb
cause you waitin for your chance to hump Straight grindin
everybody havin fun And it s cool til a fool pull a loaded gun Cause another dude kicked his Bacardi over He had to act a fool now the party s over Gun shots rang like it s thunder And everybody bum rushing and I m rushing to get a number Says she got a man but she s lying Why? I seen her talking to this other guy and..
he s a dealer so you know she gonna sweat him I ain t trippin I just hope he get em
I got nuttin but love [chorus] [singers] Ain t got nuttin but love for ya [2Pac] I m down for yours
nuttin but love [repeat 4X] I love to go back
to the block I got my game from Cause uh
old man still drinkin
his breath still stinkin He d love to tell ya what he s thinkin But I can t diss him he s my elder He been livin here longer what that tell ya? And little girls playin double dutch Still blush
cause she don t get in trouble much It s uhh
ponytails and barrettes I gotta make it back home
before the sun decides to set And little boys playin stick ball
quick y all Get out the street before they hit y all And as I reminisce
I think about my ghetto bliss And wonder how we came to this I help an old lady across the street
the cost is free I can t take what she offers me And this is how the world could be This is how the world should be Feels good to be back on the streets Cause I know they got love for me
nuttin but love [chorus] When I was young I used to want to be a dealer see Cause the gold and cars they appealed to me I saw our brothers getting rich slangin crack to folks And the square s getting big for these sack of dope Started thinking bout a plan to get paid myself So I made myself
raised myself Til the dealer on the block told me
"That ain t cool You ain t meant to slang crack
you a rapper fool" I got my game about women from a prostitute And way back used to rap on the block for loot I tryed to make my way legit
haha But it was hard
cause rhymes don t pay the rent And uhh
it was funny how I copped out I couldn t make it in school
so finally I dropped out My family on welfare I m steady thinking
since don t nobody else care I m out here on my own At least in jail I have a meal and I wouldn t be alone I m feelin like a waste
tears rollin down my face Cause my life is filled with hate Until I looked around me I saw nothing but family
straight up down for me Panthers
Pimps
Pushers and Thugs Hey yo
that s my family tree
I got nuttin but love [chorus repeats for a while w/o 2Pac] Oaktown -- [singers] ain t got nuttin but love for ya ain t got nuttin but love for ya [repeats to fade] |
