[Intro: 2Pac] [Verse 1: Prince Apollo] Back against the wall like the Titans are on my back Running from the n***as shooting out that black cadillac With that black strap, and a black cap, busting that cap Running with Raven, city-born mavens before we heard snap crack From that flat track trap, our bodies lacked fat, not the type to stack racks We were the type to pop flats, steal gats and rap on macs So when we rap on tracks our voice goes over fluently Grit, dirt and grime stuck in my mind wasn't the only thing that ruined me It fueled me, the emotional destruction of the introduction To society's malfunction, I saw it through the eyes of those lost in the function Government beating the sh** out of civilians until they can't even function I'm lost in the future, while these politicians stuck in the past There are no man-made idols of gods, only plagues disguised in a rash A plague of the unknown like listeners to the artists gloating and spending cash While we're sieges under the sea, barely floating but getting past For a thousand years, the kings of us keep hoping for more years this will last [Interlude: Raven] Wa**up my n***a? You clocked that n***a? You shot that n***a? You better get that Glock my n***a They be k**ing n***as out here I ain't even playing its k** or be k**ed
My n***a this is the urban jungle Gra** made of concrete with no cushion when you fall Damn Apollo, you better k** that n***a [Verse 2: Prince Apollo] Soon it's not just gonna be the streets There will be a time when only the elite will be able to eat Because they're filled with demons and consumed with greed And when the poverty stricken will bleed, it'll act as water to the seed The sunlight's rays for the forgotten and damned lost in this maze Established by the ones destined for Hell's graves False gods will rise and lie that your soul will be saved sh** I'm fighting for my goals, you like gold, you're made Of theories and lies, my soul can't find Solitude in your eyes made of fire and ice You say your higher than Jesus, you can't leave us Alone we've been on our own with no way of getting home Since your arrival, I'm disintegrating like God's intentions from my soul to my bone Now my heart's as cold as your eyes of stone But my purpose won't be left alone, because I die a martyr in the heat that's shown Shoot me but my ideas will not be blown, you can k** me but never destroy my throne [Outro: Raven] sh**, you're just gonna leave me here What the f** are you doing I'll die here What the f** where are you f**ing going? Don't leave me please…I'll die here
