2pac - Young n***az lyrics

I wanna dedicate this one to Robert 'Yummy' Sanderford and all other lil' young n***az that's in a rush to be gangstas As a young n***a, I'm almost ?swellin? in the wind Give anythang, to be that innocent again, when I was ten I didn't bang but I was hangin with the homies tell them n***az started slangin that they don't know me I got my hustle on, learned to ignore what couldn't pay me Lately I've been tryin to make a bill-ion, can you play me with that jealousy they need to miss me, don't sweat me If them cowards really want me, come get me, and even I someday will die but I'm cautious, I'm fin' to ride Put down the top, now we flossin Hit the freeway, let the wind blow, drop the window Workin with a twenty sack of indo, feelin good Stop through the hood, grab the young thugs And I can't help but reminisce back when we slung d**, know it's bad but all we had was our hopes and dreams Couldn't see unless we learned to slang dope to fiends as young n***az He's the kind of G like everybody knows As a young n***a He's always G'd up, from head to toe My memories as a young n***a Always got it blown like Al Capone Young n***a He's the downest G I've ever known Back in Junior High, when we was barely gettin by, when daddy died That's when my momma started gettin high My neighborhood was full of drivebys, couldn't survive All our homies livin short lives, I couldn't cry Told my momma if I did die, just put a blunt in my casket let me get my dead homies high Come follow me throughout my history, it's just _Me Against the World_ stuck in misery; as a young n***a My only thing was to be paid Life full of riches avoid snitched cause they shady, back in the days We always found the time to play, but that's before they taught them g**ners how to spray Not just L.A., but in the Bay and in Chicago and even St. Louis Every stadium that I go, when will they change? Stuck in the game like a dumb n***a Remember how it was, to be a young n***a He's the kind of G like everybody knows As a young n***a He's always G'd up, from head to toe My memories as a young n***a Always got it blown like Al Capone Young n***a He's the downest G I've ever known I'm tellin you.. .. to be young, have your brains and have every ? and all that Yo, y'all n***az don't know how good you really do got it Muh'f**ers need to just calm down and peep what the f** they wanna do for the rest of the life 'Fore you end your life before you BEGIN your life You dumb n***a Now that I'm grown, I got my mind on bein somethin Don't wanna be another statistic, out here doin nuttin Tryin to maintain in this dirty game, keep it real and I will even if it k**s me, my young n***az break away from these dumb n***az Put down the guns and have some fun n***a, the rest'll come n***a Fame is a fast thang, that g**nin puttin n***az in a casket, murdered for hangin at the wrong place at the wrong time, no longer livin Cause he threw up the wrong sign, and every day I watch the murder rate increases, and even worse the epidemic and diseases, what is the future? The projects lookin hopeless, where more and more borhters givin up and don't care Sometimes I hate when brothers act up, I hit the weed and I proceed to blow the track up, for young n***az He's the kind of G like everybody knows For these young n***az He's always G'd up, from head to toe My memories as a young n***a He always got it blown like Al Capone Take it slow n***a, it's for the young n***az He's the downest G I've ever known As a young n***a He's the kind of G like everybody knows He's always G'd up, from head to toe Memories as a young n***a He always got it blown like Al Capone He's the downest G I've ever known ['Pac talking overlaps singing last four lines] This go out to the young thugs, the have-nots (you know) Little bad motherf**ers from the block (that's right) Them n***az that's thirteen and fourteen Drivin Cadillacs, Benzes and sh** (I see you boy) Young motherf**in hustlers (make that money boy) Stay strong n***a You could be a f**in accountant, not a dope dealer youknowhatI'msayin?
