Mockingbird (Remix)

Lyrics

2Pac:

I never had much, ran with a bad bunch

Little skinny kid sneakin weed in my bag lunch

And all through Junior High, we was just gettin by

And drivebys robbed my homies of their young lives

I never did cry, and even though I had

pain in my heart, I was hopeless from the start

They couldn't tell me nothin, they all tried to help to

The marijuana had my mind gone it wasn't healthy

I travelled places, caught cases, what a ill year

I felt the pain and the rain but I'm still here

Never did like the police, let the whole world know

Now I gets no peace, cause they chasin me down

And facin me now, what do I do?

These thangs that a Thug goes through

And still I rise so keep ya head up, and make ya mind strong

It's a struggle every day but you gotta hold on

Chorus:

They say that things just cannot grow

beneath the winter snow,

or so I have been told.

They say were buried far,

just like a distant star

I simply cannot hold

Eminem:

We're all we got in this world

When it spins, when it swirls

When it whirls, when it twirls

Two little beautiful girls

Lookin' puzzled, in a daze

I know it's confusing you

Daddy's always on the move, mamma's always on the news

I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems

The harder that I try to do that, the more it backfires on me

All the things growing up his daddy that he had to see

Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did

We did not plan it to be this way, your mother and me

But things have gotten so bad between us

I don't see us ever being together ever again

Like we used to be when we was teenagers

But then of course everything always happens for a reason

I guess it was never meant to be

But it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is

But no more worries, rest your head and go to sleep

Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream

Chorus:

They say that things just cannot grow

beneath the winter snow,

or so I have been told.

They say were buried far,

just like a distant star

I simply cannot hold

2Pac:

Dear momma don't cry, your baby boy's doin good

Tell the homies I'm in heaven and they ain't got hoods

Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night, it had me shook

Drippin peppermint Schnapps, with Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cooke

Then some lady named Billie Holiday

Sang sittin there kickin it with Malcolm, 'til the day came

Little LaTasha sho' grown

Tell the lady in the liquorstore that she's forgiven, so come home

Maybe in time you'll understand only God can save us

When Miles Davis cuttin lose with the band

Just think of all the people that you knew in the past

that passed on, they in heaven, found peace at last

Picture a place that they exist, together

There has to be a place better than this, in heaven

So right before I sleep, dear God, what I'm askin

Remember this face, save me a place, in thug's mansion

Chorus:

They say that things just cannot grow

beneath the winter snow,

or so I have been told.

They say were buried far,

just like a distant star

I simply cannot hold
