Yaki Kadafi - Starin' Through My Rear View lyrics

[Intro: 2Pac] Staring at the world through my rearview Just looking back at the world from another level Ya know what I mean? Starin'… [Verse 1: 2Pac] Multiple gunshots fill the block, the fun stops n***as is calling cops, people shot, nobody stops I wonder when the world stopped caring Last night two kids shot while the whole block staring I will never understand this society First they try to murder me then they lie to me Product of a dying breed All my homies trying weed Now the little baby's crazed raised off Hennessy Tell me, will my enemies flee when they see me? Believe me, even thugs gotta learn to take it easy Listen, through the intermissions search your heart for a plan And we turning bad boys to grown men, it's on again I give a holla to my n***as in the darkest corners Roll a perfect blunt, and let me spark it for ya One love from a thug n***a Rollin' with a posse full of paranoid drug dealers To the end, my friend I'm seeing nothin' but my dreams coming true While I'm staring at the world through my rearview See, I'm seeing nothin' but my dreams coming true While I'm staring at the world through my rearview They got me [Hook: 2Pac] Staring at the world through my rearview Go on, baby, scream to God, he can't hear you I can feel your heart beating fast cause it's time to die Getting high, watching time fly And all my motherf**ers [Verse 2: E.D.I. Mean] Now you see him, now you don't Some n***as be here for the moment, and then they gone What happened to 'em? Well, let's see, it seems to be a mystery But all I know I never let the money get to me Stay down like the truest Thug Life until I check out this b**h, I thought you knew this Who is gonna catch me when I fall or even care to? While you thinking I see you lost up in my rearview Hear you is down with them Outlawz Outcast, left far, I'm through like southpaws But still we keep mashing till our dreams come through Staring at the world through my rearview [Verse 3: 2Pac] Now I was raised as a young black male In order to get paid, forced to make crack sales Caught a n***a so they send me to these overpacked jails In the cell, counting days in this living black hell Do you feel me? Keys to ignition, use at your discretion Roll with a 12 gauge pump for protection n***as hate me in the section from years of chin-checking Turn to Smith & Wesson war weapons Heavenly Father, I'm a soldier I'm getting hotter cause the world's getting colder Baby, let me hold ya Talk to my guns like they fly b**hes All you bustas best to run, look at my b**hes! [Bridge: 2Pac] Now I know the answers to the question “Do dreams come true?” Still staring at the world through my rearview I said now I know the answers, “Do dreams come true?” Staring at the world through my rearview n***a Kadafi say.. [Verse 3: Kadafi] Back in the days we hustled for sneakers and beepers Nine-six for Glocks Cause fiends hitting up blocks with street sweepers Bless myself when knowing rules to these streets Something I learned in school On some Million Man March sh** for the piece/peace True that, only one life to lead, a fast life of greed Criminally addicted, infested since a seed We all die, breed bleed like humans Towns run by young guns, Outlawz and truants sh**'s deep, turn eighteen, burn my will when I go Burnt my body with my shotty, or chosing my dough So while you reminiscing all nights out with the crew Smoke a blunt for me too, I'm staring through your rearview [Outro: 2Pac] Hahahaha, you ain't knowing what we mean by staring through the rearview, so since you ain't knowing what we mean let me break down understanding The world… the world is behind us Once a motherf**er get an understanding on the game And what the levels and the rules of the game is, then the world ain't no trick no more, the world is a game to be played So now we looking at the world, from like, behind us n***as know what we gotta do Just gotta put our mind to it and do it It's all about the papers, money rule the world b**hes make the world go round Real n***as do they wanna do, b**h n***as do what they can [Hook] - repeat till end
