Tears

[Intro: 2Pac] I shall not fear no man but God Though I walk through the valley of death I shed so many tears If I should die before I wake Please God walk with me Grab a nigga and take me to Heaven [Julius Luciano] Many times I was stuck up at the Greyhound Station Momma where we goin'? She said wait now, patience Wait now? Ma, it's gettin' late now, I hate this Greyhound workers got the straight-frown faces May sound racist but I couldn't really stand White workers seein' niggas with no tickets in our hand We was homeless, everytime I hear a bus near us I wanna leave as my tear ducts fill up My bro had major surgery in Georgia Hurt me to the core but what hurt me even more Was certainly the torture of being in California I couldn't afford seein' him, had to purposely avoid the Mirror, cuz the fact was evident to me That my life wasn't shit, as I'm starin' in the sink My granny passed away before she got to face and love me I guess that was never meant to be [2Pac] Back in elementary, I thrived on misery Left me alone I grew up amongst a dying breed Inside my mind couldn't find a place to rest Until I got that Thug Life tatted on my chest Tell me can you feel me I'm not living in the past, you wanna last? Be the first to blast Remember Kato No longer with us; he's deceased Call on the sirens, seen him murdered in the streets, now rest in peace Is there heaven for a G? Remember me So many homies in the cemetery, shed so many tears [Refrain] I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears Lord, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears [Demetrius Capone] I shed to many tears, ya I wept for many years Askin' God the same question, but did he hear us Is there a Heaven for the rest of us? Cuz death is in our rearview mirror, finna catch us, he gettin' near us That's why I tatted 7's on my flesh because I wanted heaven to step with us And then protect us from interference And when I'm desperate to find heaven, I just get reminded whenever I stare at my reflection within these mirrors I don't believe in hell, I don't believe in the devil Cuz on these streets is hell, and we don't need a devil We do evil ourself, hopin' that God forgive us I don't believe the bible, too many contradictions So what do I believe? I only believe in God Cuz He or She is the only reason that we alive Other than that I'm lost, lord knows I'm tired Lord knows I cry [2Pac] Lord knows I tried, been a witness to homicide Seen drive-bys takin' lives, little kids die Wonder why as I walk by Broken-hearted as I glance at the chalk line, getting high This ain't the life for me, I wanna change But ain't no future bright for me, I'm stuck in the game I'm trapped inside a maze See this Tanqueray influenced me to getting crazy Disillusioned lately, I've been really wanting babies So I could see a part of me that wasn't always shady Don't trust my lady cause she's a product of this poison I'm hearing noises, think she's fuckin' all my boys, can't take no more I'm fallin' to the floor; beggin' for the Lord to let me in To Heaven's door -- Shed so many tears [Refrain] I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears Lord, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears
