Lyrics Both Worlds (feat. 2Pac) - Outlawz , Bone Thugs-n-Harmony , 2Pac

I'm extremely angry, confused
You know, uh
A lot of the times when I sat up in court
I couldn't defend myself
You know what I'm saying?
Like, the things they were saying about me
Were beyond my comprehension
Or, the things that I could say
Weren't going to help my case
But because, I mean, I was
It's like being exile, you know
From society
And that's how I feel
And this whole anger comes from
I'm tired of waiting for my past to get to society
All I ever wanted to do was make
Me and everybody around me feel more comfortable
About where we were, you know what I'm saying?
About the places that we stay
Where we, this is our home base
Let's build it up
Let's be happy about where we come from
You know what I'm saying?
Instead of trying to assimilate and get a pass key
To where they at, you know what I'm saying?
Not to say that everything needs to be seperate
But, we gotta find pride in ourselves
You know what I'm saying?
And once you get the pride, like
Damn near two seconds after the pride comes anger
From being held like that for so long
And to be made to go through those changes
You get mad, you know what I'm saying?
I believe as soon as any black man
Receives his first three checks, he starts getting mad
'Cause it's not about the necessity of having to have a job
And having to pay and having to do that
You don't care no more about the smiles
And you know, "yes, massa"
Because you done got paid
You know what I'm saying?
And now it's like you save money
You wanna help other people
You see how far it is, how far you have to go
To help anybody in your neighbourhood
It's set up for me when I get paid for me
To exit the ghetto
You know what I'm saying?
The only reasons I've had these problems
Is 'cause I haven't left yet
And these problems don't come from a white man
It comes from just society, the problems that we have
I can see that, you know what I'm saying?
The one thing we do have in common, as black people
Is we share that poverty
So the thugs side is more closer to the poverty
Than me, being rich
You know, how can I come to any community centre
You know what I'm saying?
Sporting a Rolex presidential
All these diamonds and be like
"Look, we, you know what I'm saying,
Gotta gotta."
But now, when I say we
They know what I mean
I'm not saying like, I live in this neighbourhood
But I'm a thug, and they thugs
They can relate, I don't even have to say that
You know what I'm saying?
When I come out, I don't have to say "I'm real"
They already know what, you know what I'm saying?
From me, from me being me
From not pushing the thugness
But I know from the business that everybody
In this business is always whispering in your ear
About what you can't say
What you can't do
What you can't wear
And this world, and in this world there's two worlds
A white world and a black world
All I did was stand in the middle, you know what I'm saying?
And say "I'm living in both worlds"
I can go in the streets and survive
And I can go out here and do my business out here
