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 fuck 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, a product of this heated passion

Momma got pregnant, and poppa got a piece of ass

Look how it began, nobody gave a fuck about me

Pistol in my hand, this cruel world can do without me

How can I survive? Got me askin white Jesus

will a nigga 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 the spot 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 heroin bong

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, pass the weed nigga

That Hennessey'll keep me keyed nigga

Everywhere I go niggaz holla at me, "Keep it real G"

And my reply til they kill 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 [Khadafi]

I stay sharp as always

Runnin ya bricks with blitz, through ya project hallways

Dumpin crews like two's, nigga 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 [Fatal]

Dynamically this dude or twist this shit 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 pass 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'

Niggas 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 tass Harass my ass

Tried to have the F Lofty

My nigga fell

Givin a whole essance county trigger hell

Runnin' the fuckin' block and duckin' cops tryin' to get a bail

Verse 3 [Khadafi]

In ninety-six my glock's my plastic, passion for blastin bastards

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 motherfuckin jeans poppin

Leavin ya spleen to pick up

Half of you niggaz is softer than a Snicker

Let's go to war and see who draw quicker

and still I rise, and still I rise...
