2pac - So Many Tears (OG) lyrics

[2Pac] Back in elementary, I thrived on misery Left me alone I grew up amongst a dyin 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 livin 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 [Hook with Stretch doing backing vocals] Ahh, I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears.. Lord, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears [Stretch] Why would a guy k** for cash? But when a n***a's desperate make way for the pump blast On the news prime time, because its black on black crime So I'll never stay in your mind I just dash gotta get the cash all day Went from struggling straight to bubbling Now I pray that a n***a remains calm Oh god will I bust? Will I fall off or will I still keep kicking dust Trust, I get down from the ground Plus I pack a pound Perpetrators getting shot down We suffered through the years, shed so many tears Pouring out respect for the homies when we crack beers My fears faded A drug related d**h will make a n***a have to take a deep breath And bust a left down memory lane Where my n***a caught a teflon slug to the brain And yo, shed so many tears [2Pac] Now that I'm strugglin in this business, by any means Label me greedy gettin green, but seldom seen And f** the world cause I'm cursed, I'm havin visions Of leavin here in a hearse, God can you feel me? Take me away from all the pressure, and all the pain Show me some happiness again, I'm goin blind I spend my time in this cell, ain't livin well I know my destiny is Hell, where did I fail? My life is in denial, and when I die Baptized in eternal fire, shed so many tears [Hook with Stretch doing backing vocals] Lord, I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears.. Lord, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears [2Pac] Now I'm lost and I'm weary, so many tears I'm suicidal, so don't stand near me My every move is a calculated step, to bring me closer To embrace an early d**h, now there's nothin left There was no mercy on the streets, I couldn't rest I'm barely standin, 'bout to go to pieces, screamin peace And though my soul was deleted, I couldn't see it I had my mind full of demons tryin to break free They planted seeds and they hatched, sparkin the flame Inside my brain like a match, such a dirty game No memories, just a misery Paintin a picture of my enemies k**in me, in my sleep Will I survive till the mo'nin, to see the sun Please Lord forgive me for my sins, cause here I come... [Hook with Stretch doing backing vocals] Lord, I suffered through the years (God) and shed so many tears.. God, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears [2Pac] Lord knows I.. tried, been a witness to homicide Seen drivebys takin lives, little kids die Wonder why as I walk by Broken-hearted as I glance at the chalk line, gettin high This ain't the life for me, I wanna change But ain't no future right for me, I'm stuck in the game I'm trapped inside a maze See this Tanqueray influenced me to gettin crazy Disillusioned lately, I've been really wantin 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 hearin noises, think she f**in 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 (Dear God, please let me in) Lord, I've lost so many years, and shed so many tears.. I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears Lord, I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears.. God, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears
