[Verse 1: Tupac]

Now of course I want peace on the streets

But realistically
Painting perfect pictures ain't never work
My misery was so deep

Couldn't sleep through all my pressures
In my quest for cash
I learned fast

Using violent measures
Memories of adolescent years
Their was unity

But after puberty we brought war
To our community
So many bodies dropping

Its gotta stop
I want to help
But still I'm stepping

Keeping my weapon
Must protect myself
The promise of a better tomorrow

ain't never reach me
Plus my teachers were to petrified in class to teach me
Sipping thunderbird

And grape kool-aid
Calling Earl since my stomach was empty
It seduced me to $#&@ the world

Watch my 'lil homies
Lose there childhood to guns
Nobody cries no more

Cause we all die for fun
So why you ask me if I want peace
If you cant grant it

^!$$%s fighting across the whole planet
So we can never be peace


[Chorus]

Will there ever be peace?

Or all we all just headed for doom,
Still consumed by the beefs,
And I know there never be peace,

That's why I keep my pistol when I walk the streets
Cause there can never be peace


[Verse 2: Kastro]

Somebody owes me

Will they control me?, nah
I ain't a hater playa
But I want all you got

Your babies have babies
Now we fighting each other
My dogs got rabies

They biting each other
'n' it ain't hard to find a friend like mine
Big fully is a bully

And he don't mind dying
And I gotta be bright
Miss 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 cool with that finally
But they heard it before

Dog
We living in a prison
Losing our religion on em

Thanks given when thankful just for living in hell
Damn homey I don't mean to be harsh
But it's the devil in the ghetto trying to tear it apart

And if we make it up out
We still stuck in the dark
Will there ever be peace?

Just the peace in my heart
Never

[Kastro talking]
The only peace we got

Is the peace in our heart
Or the peace in our mind
Right there in piece that we hold in our waste line
Feel me dog?
Cm'on


[Chorus]

Will there ever be peace?
Or all we all just headed for doom,

Still consumed by the beefs,
And I know there never be peace, (never)
Thats why I keep my pistol when I walk the streets
'Coz there can never be peace


[Verse 3: Napolean]

Things are changing
^!$$% you better fantasize
I'm only concerned about me and mine in these times
The world is a ghetto where peace is not a part of it

We all goin' need God if we plan to get out of this
^!$$%s spending too much time hating on each other
^!$$%s buyin' guns
Load em up
Aim at each other
And the victim is you and me
The secret is true indeed

The good die
Mostly over bull%#@!
Repeatedly
Deep in me there's a part that wants nothing but love
But the rest of me knows war is what's waiting for us
So I stays ready
Keep my pay heavy and boss up

Stack my funds and my guns
Never rely on luck
Asking God to point out the imposters
Never let no weapon formed against me prosper
Cause they'll never be peace
So don't rely on it
Soldiers die for

And in the ghetto, they trying for it
!#@* PEACE

[Chorus X3]

Will there ever be peace?
Or all we all just headed for doom,

Still consumed by the beefs,
And I know there never be peace,
That's why I keep my pistol when I walks the streets
Cause there can never be peace

[Tupac Talking]


%#@!, $#&@ peace
On the strength till my ^!$$%s get a piece
We cant have peace
How the $#&@ we gonna live happy if we ain't got none?
You mother$#&@ers is smiling, but I'm mean mugging
Why? Cause gotta be thugging
I've seen drugs done turned this mother$#&@ing hood out
All us ^!$$%s acting up
Wild $$# mother$#&@ing adolescents
These ^!$$%s ain't even got no childhoods no more
How the $#&@ can you have a childhood and you have a funeral every mother$#&@ing weekend
And you mother$#&@ers talking about peace?
^!$$%, it ain't no mother$#&@ing peace
You ain't seen the news mother$#&@er?
You ain't heard?
Little babies getting smoked
Mother$#&@ers killing there whole family
'Lil kids getting thrown off buildings
Mother$#&@ers gettin abused
Peace? ^!$$%s you out your mother$#&@ing mind?

We can't never have peace, till you mother$#&@ers clean up this mess you made
'Till u $#&@ing clean up the dirt u dropped
'Till we get a piece
$#&@ peace
