Intro [2Pac & Big Syke] Ninety-six big body Sittin' on chrome (f**in' with this Alize) Ninety-six big body Sittin' on chrome (n***a Johnny J, studio full of mothaf**ers) Ninety-six big body Sittin' on chrome (Yeah right) Ninety-six big body Sittin' on chrome Ninety-six big body Sittin' on chrome Ninety-six big body Sittin' on chrome Verse 1 [2Pac] Somebody wake me I'm dreamin, I started as a seed the semen Swimmin upstream, planted in the womb while screamin' On the top, was my pops, my momma screamin' stop From a single drop, this is what they got Not to disrespect my peoples but my poppa was a loser Only plan he had for momma was to f** her and abuse her Even as a little seed, I could see his plan for me Stranded on welfare, another broken family Now what was I to be, the product of this heated pa**ion Momma got pregnant, and poppa got a piece of a** Look how it began, nobody gave a f** about me Pistol in my hand, this cruel world can do without me How can I survive? Got me askin' white Jesus Will a n***a live or die, cause the Lord can't see us In the deep, dark clouds of the projects, ain't no sunshine No sunny days and we only play sometimes When everybody's sleepin' I open my window jump to the streets and get to creepin' I can live or die, hope I get some money 'fore I'm gone I'm only 19, I'm tryin to hustle on my own On this block where everybody and they pops tryin' to slang rocks I'd rather go to college, but this is where the game stops Don't get it wrong cause it's always on, from dusk to dawn You can buy rocks, Glocks or a herringbone You can ask my man he's a mind reader Keep my nine heated all the time this is how we grind Meet up at the cemetary then get smoked out, pa** the weed n***a That Hennessey'll keep me keyed n***a Everywhere I go n***as holla at me, "Keep it real G" And my reply till they k** me Act up if you feel me, I was born not to make it but I did The tribulations of a ghetto kid, still I rise Chorus [2Pac & Big Syke] Ninety-six big body Sittin' on chrome (And still I rise) Ninety-six big body Sittin' on chrome Verse 2 [Yaki Kadafi] I stay sharp as always Runnin ya bricks with blitz, through ya project hallways Dumpin crews like two's, n***a all day Secrets of war prepare me for the worst A life that's lavish full of cabbage or a life that's in a hearse But now my dreams it seems though, be placin triple beams and things bro Diamond pinky ring got the loot poppin out my jeans Verse 3 [Hussein Fatal] Dynamically this dude or twist this sh** ceramically Able to write a Fatal verse with no profanity It's on for Al G. Nikko Storm and Nasty New Put a hole in your crew, tryin' to pa** me With no remorse You get blasted full force A Nike endorsement doin' shootings on a horse World wide supremacy All y'all remember me Hung over from Hennessey With a menace intendancy Police be clockin' me So I be dippin' Slippin' sloppily Sippin' Vodka B And ditchin' clips On private property When five O be comin' n***as be runnin' For they life and freedom The type to beat 'em here engagin' Breakin' and try to lead 'em Two big terriers Monclair gettin scarier They nine's they shoot 'em in secluded areas The barrier, Not me I'm burried 'em once they ditched they in Scott-free Two ta** Hara** my a** Tried to have the F Lofty My n***a fell Givin a whole essance county trigger hell Runnin' the f**in' block and duckin' cops tryin' to get a bail Verse 4 [Yaki Kadafi] In ninety-six my Glock's my plastic, pa**ion for blastin ba*tards No faces for open caskets, peelin ya cap backwards Ya cowards ain't prepared for pistol practice I send my missiles through your mattress Leavin holes in your body like a cactus While me and my crew be boppin more greens than topic And loot to keep the seams in my motherf**in jeans poppin Leavin ya spleen to pick up Half of you n***as is softer than a Snicker Let's go to war and see who draw quicker And still I rise, and still I rise...
