[Intro: Makaveli The Yung]
I be crazy as hell man. I'm just tempted all the time. But I gotta smile thru the pain that I've been through
[Verse 1]
Yesterday is gone, it's history
Today's a new day, tomorrow's a mystery
Let's hear a ghetto lullaby, would you sing along
Do you picture a prophecy of me being strong
Smokin' weed and Newports, I'm feelin' stress
They don't care what I've been through, I'm tempted and stress
Be bustin' back on these n***as like I'm Creed
Writing 'bout my life, I'm finna give you a speech
Dear Lord, don't worry, ima pay for my sins
Just wanna say, that I'm sorry, I hope you forgive
Not to disrespect you by sayin' In Makaveli We Trust
People think I'm crazy, I'm just tryin' to adjust
[Hook] x2
Life goes by, still I rise
I just wanna get myself high
n***a, I be gettin' krazy
I'm krazy
[Verse 2]
My brothers in the hood tryna make it out, scream to God as they pray
They had enough of the violence and all the fuss, hopin' for better days
Lord help us all, I came straight outta the gutter when I was only young
But I'm still real life has just begun
Dear mama, I love you as your only son, child
And I love it when I see your precious smile
I need an antidote to cure my sickness
Before I k** myself with this mental illness
Time goes by, life goes on 'til I die
Still learning why what's right or wrong in my life
I was a low down crooked fiend, a thief
Wanna flee to Heaven, that's the best place to be
Lord, I'm just livin' life to be a soulja
To be in an inspiration to my lovely culture
I had a dream of the whole world lookin' like Motherland
And Lord takin' my hand
[Hook] x2
Life goes by, still I rise
I just wanna get myself high
n***a, I be gettin' krazy
I'm krazy
[Outro: 2Pac]
There's gonna be some stuff you gonna see
That's gonna make it hard to smile in the future
But through whatever you see, through all the rain and the pain
You gotta keep your sense of humor
You gotta be able to smile through all this bullsh**
