Thug in, Thug Out

Ayo 'Pac I know you knew that this shit'd get on
'Cause they feared you in the physical form
Ain't nothin' changed, they done shot up Kadaf, I know he missin' it
They killed B.I.G. too, y'all probably up there kickin' it
Y'all paid the price to get both you niggas back in life
We all God's kids, I guess they gave you back to Christ
Is my dead homies visible in afterlife?
If I could be with Yak I'm ready for the sacrifice

I ain't never had a friend like you
Or your brother who predicted that
His life would probably end like you
'Pac listen, they don't understand your pain
Like your murder was more than just Orlando Lane

For the love of this thug life I brand your name

On my arm, won't stop now, the first to bomb
A lot of niggas was killed, blood spilled for nothin'
The day after your death they had your casket sealed for somethin'

Thug in thug out, nigga we can't change this
Whatever happens is written we still doin' the same shit
Hav' stuck in the fame, inherited your pain and stress
Not tryin' to die in this game of death
Thug in thug out, nigga we can't change this
Whatever happens is written we still doin' the same shit
Hav' stuck in the fame, inherited your pain and stress
Not tryin' to die in this game of death

Cats can never understand what they be takin' me through
Like they could never understand what it takes to be you
Kept you safe everywhere, kept a nine at the show

Couldn't stay with the Outlawz 'cause they signed to Tha Row
Did what you done told me to do, take mines and go
Would've misled them niggas, I was blinded for woe
That was my man's decision, you put an end to my livin'
Since Tyson ain't the champ, I got a chance on livin'
I'ma breathe for y'all niggas, wait and see
And any beef they got with you they gots to take with me
It was on when I first heard he clicked with Storm

I was with the don like fuck it, let's get it on
Couldn't believe we was up against the best
But shit died down B.I.G. since you left
Wasn't eatin' on the East, so I went to the West
You know when 'Pac got shot, he was in to the death

Thug in thug out, nigga we can't change this
Whatever happens is written we still doin' the same shit
Hav' stuck in the fame, inherited your pain and stress
Not tryin' to die in this game of death
Thug in thug out, nigga we can't change this
Whatever happens is written we still doin' the same shit
Hav' stuck in the fame, inherited your pain and stress
Not tryin' to die in this game of death

You knew him better than most niggas, you was close nigga
And that bullshit beef left both of 'em ghost nigga
An impact on hip-hop, not just hearsay
'Cause these rap cats is happy, now they get airplay
It don't be your enemies, it be most of your friends
Waitin' for you to die or slayed and get close to your ends
That was your man, you shoulda told him they was smokin' him in
Even if that had left you loyal, broke in the end

And if your blood spill, your ass got it soakin' it in
Because my life story ain't gon' be no hoax in the end
I gotta watch my man mother cry, sittin' in pain
You don't follow the rules, you ain't gon' be shit in the game

We done came up through all these little obstacles
In my 'Burgh I'ma freeze y'all like popsicles
Had discipline, 'bout it like Pac shit down
I'm Hussein, I remain to cock it, Glock shit down

Thug in thug out, nigga we can't change this
Whatever happens is written we still doin' the same shit
Hav' stuck in the fame, inherited your pain and stress
Not tryin' to die in this game of death
Thug in thug out, nigga we can't change this
Whatever happens is written we still doin' the same shit
Hav' stuck in the fame, inherited your pain and stress
Not tryin' to die in this game of death
