Life Goes On

[Verse 1] In the beginning there was confrontations in these streets Cause these police beat us We tired of runnin' fuck peace Young brothers born to fail, skippin' bail, helluva start Could it be them, bitches was hatin' cause our skin was too dark? Handed down his sentence, he got no reason to live A 25-to-life nigga never knowin' his kids That's how they do it to us, it seem we caught in between Another one, wastin' away for what he did in his teens Life is hard, situation on these streets is critical Everybody chasin' dough, if them ain't your folks, then here we go If we ridin', then let's ride, do-or-die, homicide But tell me the reason for lost lives Could it be we all caught up in a scandalous system? Fallin' through the cracks, blinded by the lies we given Seen these G's on these streets bleed freely but why? It seem too many of us born to die But life goes on, and on situation in time How many lost souls molded by a criminal mind? From the Bay in California to the streets of the east Can't be no justice without no peace, believe [Chorus] Life Goes On No matter what they say or do, I ain't never givin' up on you I won't doubt ya baby, won't doubt ya baby And no matter I'mma keep it true, and together we gon' make it through I'm about ya baby, ain't livin' without ya baby [Verse 2] A ruthless cycle of thugs, coppers, drugs, helicopters, blood, spitting choppers, slugs Who could stop to love this lifestyle juveniles embracin'? I'm lacin' adolescents with lessons no one could beat the cases I'm chasin', my competitors, no need for a spot Conversation keep these cowards off my stick when I bust Forget Versache-watchy Cartier playas, I'm still the same But I can't condone the phony cause I'm prone to be me Now what you sayin' huh? (Life Goes on) From the Atlantic to the Bay, what? (Life Goes on) To all my people gettin' paid, huh? (Life Goes on) Never forgettin' where you came from, (Life Goes on), fa' sho [Pre-Hook] Now keep on strivin' and survivin' don't let life get down on you Forget these haters that betray mistakin' kindness for a fool Keep your head up, don't get fed up, keep on doin' what you do For all true players in this game of life you got to know the rules, true [Chorus] But Life Goes On No matter what they say or do, I ain't never givin' up on you I won't doubt ya baby, won't doubt ya baby And no matter I'mma keep it true, and together we gon' make it through I'm about ya baby, ain't livin' without ya baby No matter what they say or do, I ain't never givin' up on you I won't doubt ya baby, won't doubt ya baby And no matter I'mma keep it true, and together we gon' make it through I'm about ya baby, ain't livin' without ya baby Don't stop, don't stop movin' on up 8x [Verse 3] Now that's one too many times more than three had to die 45's got to spittin 6:30 was the time, 7 years gone by, 8 of us done been deceased 9 times outta 10 somebody bleedin' in these streets Tell me what's the reason? Trial date's the 10th These juveniles in wild life smile upon your death Went from kids to killas, fun lovin' to felonies could it be We self-destructin' in this rush for the cheese? Everybody in this world gone crazy See money and murder be the measure of a man everyday Separate from the fake, break bustas for how they livin Cause some takin' better care of their cars then of their kids And it still seem we caught up in a scandalous system Fallin' through the cracks, blinded by the lies we given Seen these G's on these streets bleed freely but why? It seem too many of us born to die [Chorus] But Life Goes On No matter what they say or do, I ain't never givin' up on you I won't doubt ya baby, won't doubt ya baby And no matter I'mma keep it true, and together we gon' make it through I'm about ya baby, ain't livin' without ya baby No matter what they say or do, I ain't never givin' up on you I won't doubt ya baby, won't doubt ya baby And no matter I'mma keep it true, and together we gon' make it through I'm about ya baby, ain't livin' without ya baby Don't stop, don't stop movin' on up {*8X*}
