And I just lost a best friend for the second time Now I'm on a quest to find peace Still gotta carry my piece and "Soo Woo!" when it's reppin' time Y'all don't understand.. I'm misunderstood Give Interscope two more albums Then I'm done for good Sold 10 million records, ain't leave the hood It's a cold world, everybody need a hood [Hook: 2Pac] I spend my time in this cell, ain't living well I know my destiny is Hell Where did I fail? My life is in denial and when I die Baptized in eternal fire I'll shed so many tears I spend my time in this cell, ain't living well I know my destiny is Hell Where did I fail? My life is in denial and when I die Baptized in eternal fire I'll shed so many tears [Verse 2: The Notorious B.I.G.] After realizing, to master enterprising I ain't have to be in school by ten, I then Began to encounter with my counterparts On how to burn the block apart, break it down into sections Drugs by the selections Some use pipes, others use injections Syringe sold separately Frank the Deputy Quick to grab my Smith & Wesson like my dick was missing To protect my position, my corner, my lair While we out here, say the Hustlers Prayer If the game shakes me or breaks me I hope it makes me a better man Take a better stand Put money in my mom's hand Get my daughter this college grant so she don't need no man Stay far from timid Only make moves when your heart's in it And live the phrase sky's the limit Motherf**ers [Hook: 2Pac] I spend my time in this cell, ain't living well I know my destiny is Hell Where did I fail? My life is in denial and when I die Baptized in eternal fire I'll shed so many tears I spend my time in this cell, ain't living well I know my destiny is Hell Where did I fail? My life is in denial and when I die Baptized in eternal fire I'll shed so many tears I spend my time in this cell, ain't living well I know my destiny is Hell Where did I fail? My life is in denial and when I die Baptized in eternal fire I'll shed so many tears I spend my time in this cell, ain't living well I know my destiny is Hell Where did I fail?
