Promise Of A Better Tomorrow - Miqu/2Pac.mp3

[00:01.380]
[00:10.265] Now of course I want peace on the streets, but realistically
[00:14.297] Paintin' perfect pictures ain't never worked, my misery
[00:17.142] Was so deep, couldn't sleep through all my pressures
[00:19.800] In my quest for cash I learned fast, usin' violent measures
[00:22.851] Memories of adolescent years, there was unity
[00:25.552] But after ****rty, we brought war to our community
[00:28.398] So many bodies droppin', it's gotta stop, I wanna help
[00:31.206] But still I'm steppin', keep my weapon, must protect myself
[00:34.078] The promise of a better tomorrow ain't never reached me
[00:36.694] Plus my teachers was too petrified in class to teach me
[00:39.478] Sippin' Thunderbird and grape Kool-Aid, callin' Earl
[00:42.301]Since my stomach was empty it seduced me to **** the world
[00:44.991] Watch my lil' homies lose they childhoods to guns
[00:47.720] Nobody cries no more, ‘cause we all die for fun
[00:50.473] So why you ask me if I want peace if you can't grant it?
[00:53.654]Niggas fightin' across the whole planet
[00:55.400] So it could never be peace
[00:56.995]
[00:57.329]It seems drugs done turned this whole mother****ing hood out
[01:00.322]All us niggas actin' up, wild-ass mother****ing adolescents
[01:04.289]These niggas ain't even got no childhoods no more
[01:06.875]How the **** can you have a childhood
[01:08.375]And you at the funeral every mother****ing weekend?
[01:10.330]Pssh, and you mother****ers talkin' about peace?
[01:12.994]B***h, it ain't no mother****ing peace
[01:15.448]You ain't seen the news mother****er? You ain't heard?
[01:18.307]
[01:18.503] Somebody owes me. Will they control me? Not
[01:21.605] I ain't a hater player, but I want all you got
[01:24.514] Y'all babies had babies, now we fightin' each other
[01:27.488] My dawgs got frabies, they bitin' each other
[01:30.495] And it ain't hard to find a friend like mine
[01:33.122]Bigfully is a mother****er and he don't mind dyin
[01:35.728] And I gotta be blind, missed sign after sign
[01:38.595] Time after time after time after time
[01:41.649] And I don't like nobody, they don't like me more
[01:44.377] And I'm good with that finally, but they heard it before
[01:46.995] Dawg, we livin' in a prison, losin' our religion
[01:50.135] On Thanksgivin' we thankful, just for livin' in Hell
[01:53.305] Damn, homie, I don't mean to be harsh
[01:55.569] But there's a devil in the ghetto tryin' to tear it apart
[01:58.318] And if we make it up out, we still stuck in the dark
[02:01.090] Will there ever be peace? Just a piece of my heart. Never!
[02:04.706]
[02:05.464] The only peace we got is a piece of our heart, piece of our mind, or that damn piece that we hold in our waistline
[02:13.820] You feel me, dawg? C'mon, uhh
[02:15.775]
[02:16.093] Will there ever be peace, or are we all just, headed for doom?still consumed by the beast?
[02:21.076] And I know there'll never be peace
[02:23.153] That's why I keep my pistol when I walk the streets
[02:25.918]
[02:26.836]Thangs is changin', nigga, you better read the signs
[02:30.088] I'm only concerned about me and mine in these times
[02:32.869] The world is a ghetto and peace is not a part of it
[02:35.461] We all believe God's new plan to make it out of this
[02:38.262]Niggas spendin' too much time hatin' on each other
[02:40.756]Niggas buyin' guns, loadin' 'em up, aimin' at each other
[02:43.675] And the victim is you and me, it's sick, but it's true indeed
[02:46.589] The good die, mostly over bullshit, repeatedly
[02:49.579] Deep in me there's a part that wants nothing but love
[02:52.176] But the rest of me know, war is what's waitin' for us
[02:55.009] So I stays ready, keep my pay heavy and boss up
[02:58.020] Stack my funds and my guns, never rely on luck
[03:00.908] Askin' God to point out the impostor
[03:03.795] Never let no weapon formed against me prosper
[03:06.159]‘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 **** peace!
[03:12.603]
[03:13.859]Lil' babies gettin' smoked, mother****ers killin' they whole family
[03:17.072] Lil' kids gettin' thrown off buildings
[03:19.007]Mother****ers gettin' abused
[03:20.305]Peace? ****, is you out your ****ing mind?
[03:22.605]**** peace! We can't never have peace 'til you mother****ers clean up this mess you made
[03:27.212]'Til you ****ing clean up the dirt you dropped
[03:29.921]'Til we get a piece, **** peace! Westside
[03:34.648]
[03:39.503] Now of course I want peace on the streets...
