2 Pac

My homeboys in clinton and rikers island
Mumia, mutulu, sendeko, gerino pratt,
All the political prisoners
San quiton
Yeah
One thug, one thug
How do we keep the music playing
One thug, one thug
I wake up early in the morning
My state so military
Suckas fantasize, pictures of a
Young brother buried
Was it me, the weed, or this life i lead
If daytime is for suckas then
Tonight we bleed
Out for all that
Knowing that this world brings drawbacks
Look how this shit bumps
Once i deliver these war raps
Meet me at the cemetary
Dressed in black
Tonight we
Follow the dead
And those who won't be back
So if i die
To the same for me
Shed no tears
An outlaw, thug living in this game,
For years
Why worry,
Hope to god
Get me high
When i'm buried
Knowing deep inside me
Only if yah love
Come rush me to the gates of heaven
Let me picture for a while
How i live for my days, as a child
I wonder now
How do we outlast, always get cash
Stay strong if we all mash
Hold your head
Chorus
How do we keep the music playing
How do we get ahead
To many young black brothers are dying
Living fast, too fast
These felonies be like prophecies
Begging me to stop
Cuz these lawyers getting money
Everytime they knock us
Slashing pockets lyrically
Suckas fleed when they notice
Switched my name to makaveli
