Uh (J-Dot got to droppin') Bizzle Dear 'Pac, I hope this letter reaches you As a young rapper, I'd always imagined speakin' Through this pen like you did, man, all I wanted to be was you Honestly, the level you on to me was unreachable I put you on a pedestal like I could never do This half as well as you and I thought it blasphemy to be compared to you What you did at such an early agе was impeccable But you died at 25, from thеn you never grew No disrespect to you, but I've been growin' ever since One day, I may be the greatest rapper that ever lived You included the truest to do and spewin' nothin' But "Dear mamas" and "Keep your head up"'s, music that you were fluent I'm in my thirties now, life is so different And I can't live it wit' a twenty-five year old ceilin' I'm more wise wit' more experience than you at two-five My limit can't be you, 'Pac, I need a new sky I gotta shoot high (Shoot high) I think it's due time (Due time) SongtexteI gotta aim for a new sky (New sky) New skies (New skies) It's no limit too high (Too high) I gotta pursue mine (Pursue mine) I gotta aim for a new sky (New sky) New skies (New skies) Dear Pops, I hope this letter reaches you As a boy, the definition of man to me was you You brag about the women you had, I seen it too Few bad ones, I'll admit that you had some heat wit' you You were my protector until you got some drink in you When you became extra then, who could protect me from you? You had a bad temper, but guess who got it too? Me, and now I even see it in my son Elijah too You was a hustler and Moms used to be mad I told her I ain't gotta go to school, I could be Dad You ain't go to work, and you had what she had That's probably why your son lost every job he had, heh I tried to be a hustler and a player too But eventually became me and stopped playin' you I'm tryin' to shoot high for mine too, and too high My limit can't be you, Pops, I need a new sky I gotta shoot high (Shoot high) I think it's due time (Due time) I gotta aim for a new sky (New sky) New skies (New skies) It's no limit too high (Too high) I gotta pursue mine (Pursue mine) I gotta aim for a new sky (New sky) New skies (New skies) Dear Lord, I hope this prayer reaches You From a child until my years of wylin', I would speak to You Mama thought about twenty-five I'd probably be meetin' You And I did, but this ain't how she thought I would be with You Tried bein' everybody else, tried doin' me Didn't know how much space had grown between You and me I was in pursuit of cream, You was in pursuit of me I would claim to follow You, but not a lot for You to lead Though I knew Your way was right, I also knew Your way was hard Knew that if I ain't for Christ, I would never make the mark What I see is what I need, 'cause every other thing That I wanna be ends up under me, so I'ma have to chase somethin' That'll stay out in front of me They say that if you ain't for the stars, that you hit the moon though Then maybe I can aim for the sun and hit Pluto You know, and if it's too high If proves why only You, God, can be my new sky I gotta shoot high (Shoot high) I think it's due time (Due time) I gotta aim for a new sky (New sky) New skies (New skies) It's no limit too high (Too high) I gotta pursue mine (Pursue mine) I gotta aim for a new sky (New sky) New skies (New skies) Aus Songtexte Mania
