Never B Peace

(álbum: Better Dayz - 2002)

[2Pac:]
Now of course I want peace on the streets, but realistically
Painting perfect pictures ain't never worked, my misery
Was so deep, couldn't sleep through all my pressures
In my quest for cash I learned fast, using violent measures
Memories of adolescent years, there was unity
But after puberty, we brought war to our community
So many bodies dropping, it's gotta stop, I wanna help
But still I'm stepping, keep my weapon, must protect myself
The promise of a better tomorrow ain't never reached me
Plus my teachers was too petrified in class to teach me
Sipping Thunderbird and grape Kool-Aid, calling Earl
Since my stomach was empty it seduced me to fuck the world
Watch my lil' homies lose they childhoods to guns
Nobody cries no more, 'cause we all die for fun
So why you ask me if I want peace if you can't grant it?
Niggas fighting across the whole planet
So it could never be peace

[2Pac:]
Will there ever be peace, or are we all, just headed for doom?
Still consumed by the beast?
And I know there'll never be peace
That's why I keep my pistol when I walk the streets
'Cause there could never be peace

[Kastro:]
Somebody owes me. Will they control me? Not
I ain't a hater player, but I want all you got
Y'all babies had babies, now we fighting each other
My dawgs got frabies, they biting each other
And it ain't hard to find a friend like mine
Bigfully is a bullet and he don't mind dying
And I gotta be blind, missed sign after sign
Time after time after time after time
And I don't like nobody, they don't like me more
And I'm good with that finally, but they heard it before
Dawg, we living in a prison, losing our religion
On Thanksgiving we thankful, just for living in Hell
Damn, homie, I don't mean to be harsh
But there's a devil in the ghetto trying to tear it apart
And if we make it up out, we still stuck in the dark
Will there ever be peace? Just a piece of my heart. Never!

[Outlawz:]
The only peace we got is a piece of our heart, piece of our mind, or that damn piece that we hold in our waistline
You feel me, dawg? C'mon, uh

[2Pac:]
So will there ever be peace
Or are we all just headed for doom?
Still consumed by the beast?
And I know there'll never be peace (never)
That's why I keep my pistol when I walk the streets
'Cause there'll never be peace

[E.D.I.:]
Thangs is changing, nigga, you better read the signs
I'm only concerned about me and mine in these times
The world is a ghetto and peace is not a part of it
We all believe God's new plan to make it out of this
Niggas spending too much time hating on each other
Niggas buying guns, loading 'em up, aiming at each other
And the victim is you and me, it's sick, but it's true indeed
The good die, mostly over bullshit, repeatedly
Deep in me there's a part that wants nothing but love
But the rest of me know, war is what's waiting for us
So I stays ready, keep my pay heavy and boss up
Stack my funds and my guns, never rely on luck
Asking God to point out the impostor
Never let no weapon formed against me prosper
'Cause there'll never be peace, so don't rely on it, soldiers dying for it, and in the ghetto, they crying for it. But fuck peace!

[2Pac:]
Will there ever be peace, or are we all just, headed for doom? Still consumed by the beast?
And I know there'll never be peace
That's why I keep my pistol when I walk the streets
Fool, there'll never be peace
Will there ever be peace, or are we all just, headed for doom? Still consumed by the beast?
And I know there'll never be peace
That's why I keep my pistol when I walk the streets
Nigga, there'll never be peace
Will there ever be peace, or are we all just, headed for doom? Still consumed by the beast?
And I know there'll never be peace
That's why I keep my pistol when I walk the streets
Nigga, there'll never be peace
Will there ever be peace?

[2Pac:]
Will there ever be peace? Shit, fuck peace!
On the strength 'til my niggas get a piece, we can't have peace
How the fuck we gon' live happy when we ain't got nothing?
You motherfuckers are smiling, but I'm mean mugging
Why? 'Cause I gotta be thugging
It seems drugs done turned this whole mothafucking hood out
All us niggas acting up, wild-ass motherfucking adolescents
These niggas ain't even got no childhoods no more
How the fuck can you have a childhood
And you at the funeral every motherfucking weekend?
Pssh, and you motherfuckers talking about peace?
Nigga, it ain't no motherfucking peace
You ain't seen the news motherfucker? You ain't heard? Lil' babies getting smoked, motherfuckers killing they whole family
Lil' kids getting thrown off buildings
Motherfuckers getting abused
Peace? Nigga, is you out your fucking mind?
Fuck peace! We can't never have peace 'til you motherfuckers clean up this mess you made
'Til you fucking clean up the dirt you dropped
'Til we get a piece, fuck peace! Westside
