Never Be Peace [Original Version]

Donna T. Hunter, Francisco Pimental, Johnny Lee Jackson, Katari T. Cox, Malcolm Greenidge, Tupac Amaru Shakur

Now of course I want peace on the streets
But realistically
Paintin' 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
Usin' violent measures
Memories of adolescent years, there was unity
But after puberty
We brought war to our community
So many bodies droppin', it's gotta stop
I wanna help
But still I'm steppin', 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
Sippin' Thunderbird and grape Kool-Aid
Callin' 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 fightin' across the whole planet
So it could 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
‘Cause there could never be peace

No time to rest, they stressed out
I can't remember the days my homie was here
Now a days we live in fear
The struggle still here
So now who's grabbin there strap
Who's gettin' burnt wild
Representin' the generation of killers when
I was a child had many dreams
The reality kept me and my homie stressin'
Tryna' raise my baby girl to be the strongest
Knowin' I'm doin' wrongest
I never had a bright day
Just drunkless and smokin' blunts
And gettin' pay day
Wishin' my partner made it
It was peace was deceased I
Know there'll never be
All my tears were shed when i
Lost my homie number three
It's gettin' harder to see impossiblity
Should we just face it
Can't get through the pain but
Still I can't erase it
So many trials and tribulations
The things we facin'
Wicked days, can't see no brighter days
It's time to chase it
Cross dreams 'cause the scene is
When you never get by
That's why I gotta stay high
You never know when you die
My heart'll never leave the ghetto I
Know to rise only in peace that's why I say
There ain't never goin' to be no peace end

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
That's why I keep my pistol
When I walk the streets
Fool there'll never be peace

Livin' like lonely, but I can't even cry
'Cause visions of deceptions all around
Got my eyes full of despise Who can I trust
Why even try they say the world is mines
But I know it's a lie
Livin' to die, set up from birth
Steady dreamin' wishin' for better days
But all I see is daemons
Close my eyes and remenise of my childhood
But all I felt was pain for my arrival
No memories of nothin' nice
Nothin' but blinder reminders of
My future life i'm freakin' out
I'm gettin' closer to that other level
Will I be strong with game
Or just a heartless devil
I hope I'm able to find peace in me
'Cause there is Storm 64 inches deep in me
And I try to do the right
But it's the wrong things
That seem to bring me right
Back to this dirty game
There'll never be peace

Fuck 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
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 walks 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?

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 smilin'
But I'm mean muggin'
Why? ‘Cause I gotta be thuggin'
It seems drugs done turned this
Whole mothafuckin' hood out
All us niggas actin' up
Wild-ass motherfuckin' 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 motherfuckin' weekend?
Pssh, and you motherfuckers
Talkin' about peace?
Nigga, it ain't no motherfuckin' peace
You ain't seen the news
Motherfucker? You ain't heard?
Lil' babies gettin' smoked
Motherfuckers killin' they whole family
Lil' kids gettin' thrown off buildings
Motherfuckers gettin' abused
Peace? Nigga, is you out your fuckin' mind?
Fuck peace! We can't never have peace
'Til you motherfuckers clean up
This mess you made 'Til you fuckin' clean up
The dirt you dropped
'Til we get a piece, fuck peace!
Westside, Death Row, Outlaw Immortalz
Thug Life baby you know how we do this shit
That was Storm, Marvaless and Pac

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'll never be peace
