(featuring The Outlawz)
Verse One: 2Pac
Now of course I want peace on the streets, but realistically
Paintin perfect pictures ain't never worked, my misery
was so deep, couldn't sleep through all my pressures
In my quest for cash I learned fast, usin violent measures
Memories of adolescent years, there was unity
But after p*berty we brought war, to our community
So many bodies droppin it's gotta stop, I wanna help
But still I'm steppin, keep my weapon, must protect myself
The promise of a better tomorrow, ain't never reached me
Plus my teachers was too petrified in class to teach me
Sippin Thunderbird and grape Kool-Aid, callin earl
Since my stomach was empty it seduced me to fk the world
Watch my lil' homies lose they childhoods to guns
Nobody cries no more, cause we all die for fun
So why you ask me if I want peace, if you can't grant it
fightin 'cross the whole planet, so it could never be peace
First Chorus: 2Pac
Will there ever be peace, or are we all just
headed for doom, still consumed by the beast
And I know - there'll never be peace
That's why I keep my pistol when I walk the streets
Cause there could never be peace
Verse Two: Kastro
Somebody owes me - will they control me? Not
I ain't a hater player but I want all you got
Y'all babies had babies now we fightin each other
My dawgs got rabies, they bitin each other
And it ain't hard to find a friend like mine
Bigfully is a bullet and he don't mind dyin
And I gotta be blind, missed sign after sign
Time after time, after time after time
And I don't like nobody, they don't like me more
And I'm good with that finally but it heard it before
Dawg, we livin in a prison, losin our religion
On, Thanksgiving we thankful, just for livin in Hell
d*mn homey, I don't mean to be harsh
But there's a Devil in the ghetto tryin to tear it apart
And if we make it up out, we still stuck in the dark
Will there ever be peace? Just a piece of my heart
Never
Interlude: Outlawz
The only peace, we got, is a piece of our heart
Piece of our mind, or that d*mn piece, that we hold in our waistline
You feel me dawg? C'mon, uhh
Middle Chorus: 2Pac
So will there ever be peace, or are we all just
headed for doom, still consumed by the beast
And I know - there'll never be peace (never)
That's why I keep my pistol when I walk the streets
Cause there'll never be peace
Verse Three: Napolean
Thangs is changin, nigg* you better read the signs
I'm only concerned about me and mine in these times
The world is a ghetto and peace is not a part of it
We all believe God's new plan to make it out of this
spendin too much time hatin on each other
buyin guns, loadin 'em up, aimin at each other
And the victim is you and me, it's sick but it's true indeed
The GOOd Die, Mostly Over Bulls**t, repeatedly
Deep in me there's a part that wants nothin but love
But the rest of me know, war is what's waitin for us
So I stays ready, keep my pay heavy and boss up
Stack my funds and my guns, never rely on luck
Askin God to point out the imposter
Never let no weapon formed against me prosper
Cause there'll never be peace, so don't rely on it
Soldiers dyin for it - and in the ghetto, they cryin for it
But fk peace!
Final Chorus: 2Pac
Will there ever be peace, or are we all just
headed for doom, still consumed by the beast
And I know - there'll never be peace
That's why I keep my pistol when I walk the streets
Fool, there'll never be peace
Will there ever be peace, or are we all just
headed for doom, still consumed by the beast
And I know - there'll never be peace
That's why I keep my pistol when I walk the streets
nigg* there'll never be peace
Will there ever be peace, or are we all just
headed for doom, still consumed by the beast
And I know - there'll never be peace
That's why I keep my pistol when I walks the streets
nigg* there'll never be peace
Outro: 2Pac
Will there ever be peace?
.. s**t, fk peace!
On the strength 'til my get a piece, we can't have peace
How the fk we gon' live happy when we ain't got nuttin?
You muh'fkers are smilin but I'm mean muggin
Why, cause I GOTTA be thuggin
It seems drugs done turned this whole motherfkin hood out
All us actin up, wild-ass motherfkin adolescents
These ain't even got no childhoods no more
How the fk can you have a childhood
and you at the funeral every muh'fkin weekend?
Pssh, and you muh'fkers talkin about peace
nigg*, it ain't no motherfkin peace
You ain't seen the news motherfker? You ain't heard?
Lil' babies gettin smoked, muh'fkers killin they whole family
Lil' kids gettin thrown off buildings, muh'fkers gettin abused
Peace? nigg* is you out your fkin mind?
fk peace! We can't never have peace
'til you motherfkers clean up this mess you made
'Til you fkin clean up the dirt you dropped
