2pac (pain)



They'll never take me alive, I'm gettin' high with my four-five
@@#!ed on these suckas, time to die
Even as a youngster causin' ruckus on the back of the bus

I was a fool all through high school kickin' up dust
But now I'm labelled as a trouble maker who can you blame?
Smokin' weed helped me take away the pain

So I'm hopeless rollin' down the freeway swervin, don't worry
I'm about to crash up on the curb cause my visions blurry
Maybe if they tried to understand me, what should I do?

I had to feed my $#&@in' family, what else could I do
But be a thug
Out slangin' with the homies

$#&@ hangin' with them phonies in the club
Got my mind on danger
Never been a stranger to homicide

My cities full of gang bangers and drive bys
Why do we die at an early age
He was so young

But still a victim of the 12 gauge
My memories of a corpse
Mind full of sick thoughts

And I ain't goin back to court
So $#&@ what you thought I'm drinkin' hennessey
Runnin from my enemies will I live to be 23

There's so much pain



Eminem (Like Toy Soldiers)



[Verse 1]
I'm supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composure
Even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders

I ain't never supposed to show it, my crew ain't supposed to know it
Even if it means goin' toe to toe with a Benzino it don't matter
I'd never drag them in battles that I can handle unless I absolutely have to

I'm supposed to set an example
I need to be the leader, my crew looks for me to guide 'em
If some %#@! ever does pop off, I'm supposed to be beside 'em

That Ja %#@! I tried to squash it, it was too late to stop it
There's a certain line you just don't cross and he crossed it
I heard him say Hailie's name on a song and I just lost it

It was crazy, this %#@! went way beyond some Jay-z and Nas %#@!
And even though the battle was won, I feel like we lost it
I spent too much energy on it, honestly I'm exhausted

And I'm so caught in it I almost feel I'm the one who caused it
This ain't what I'm in hip-hop for, it's not why I got in it
That was never my object for someone to get killed

Why would I wanna destroy something I help build
It wasn't my intentions, my intentions was good
I went through my whole career without ever mentionin' Suge

And that was just out of respect for not runnin' my mouth
And talkin' about something that I knew nothing about
Plus Dre told me stay out, this just wasn't my beef

So I did, I just fell back, watched and gritted my teeth
While he's all over t.v. down talkin' a man who literally saved my life
Like $#&@ it i understand



2pac (pain)



They got me mobbin like I'm

Loc'ed and ready to get my slug on
I load my clip and slip my mother$#&@in' gloves on
I ain't scared to blast on these suckas if they test me

Trust, I got my glock @@#!ed playa if they press me
Bust on mother$#&@ers with a - paaassion
Better duck cause I ain't lookin when I'm - blaaastin

I'm a nuttin drinkin Hennessey and gettin' high
On the lookout for my enemies, don't wanna die
Tell me why cause this stress is gettin' major

A buck-fifty across the face with my razor
What can I do but be a thug until I'm dead and gone
Keep my brain on the game and stay head strong
These sorry !@$(s
Want to kill me in my sleep but will they can I see

And everyday it just a struggle
Steady thuggin' in the streets
And I'll be ballin' loc
Don't let 'em make you worry
Keep swingin' at these suckas till you buried

I was born to raise hell, a ^!$$% from the gutta,
With a mother on drugs
I'm kickin dust up
Ready to bust
I'm on the scene steady muggin' mean

Until they kill me
I'll be livin this life
I know you feel me
There's so much pain
