We grew up quickTalking bout the ones I grew up withSome blood, some threw up cripsWe all got giftsSome just don't ever get foundYou wouldn't know cuz you ain't never aroundI'm heavy with vowsCameras on and I'm ready to smileAnd let the world see the ghetto with styleIf I was a child I would hope to understand the future is nowYou look good in a cap and a gownHe ain't no thugHe don't really wanna see no judgeHe just can't keep his feet out the mudYou better watch yo stepI got your back you should watch yo selfYou can't make it out without no helpWe grew up proudSouth central man we grew up wildLeimert Park I guess you up nowThat's all I hopeYou was down when we was all out brokeYou my nigga broThat's all I knowIf the last time I see you is at the end of the nightSongtexteYou gone be my nigga for lifeI said we in this wrong world trying to make things rightAnd you gone be my nigga for lifeJust know theres two of us on yo head if we get in a fightThats why you know my nigga for lifeSo if I don't make it home at the end of the nightYou still gone be my nigga for life[2pac speaking]Thats what they wanna do, thats what they wanna doBecause now everybody is shell shocked and we having traumaWe be having traumatic nights alwaysI wanna get away from L.AYou wanna get away from it but you can'tThats what they taught meThe streets didn't teach me that Thug Life live or dieThe world taught me thatI thought I could retire and move onWhen I moved on into the so called the real worldThe civilzed worldThese motherfuckers is worst than the niggas in the streets!Don't say my nameWestside we don't play no gamesWe getting money girl it ain't no thangCan't you tellWe came up when they thought we would failI can't picture you just sitting in jailLets make that switchI know a way we can all get richIt's on paper and it's all legitYou can't make it if you never commitMy first song shit it wasn't a hitYou see I ain't quitNow my money go as high as a fenceAnd I ain't never coming late on the rentI see the moms drop they kids off at school each dayI hope they learn something new each dayYeah between the liquor stores, gun fights, gangsters, and copsIts so hard to make it off these blocksBut you gone raise a King baby girl just watchKeep going pleaseDon't ever stopIf the last time I see you is at the end of the nightYou gone be my nigga for lifeI said we in this wrong world trying to make things rightAnd you gone be my nigga for lifeJust know theres two of us on yo head if we get in a fightThats why you know my nigga for lifeSo if I don't make it home at the end of the nightYou still gone be my nigga for life Aus Songtexte Mania
