Never Be Peace - 2Pac

[Verse 1: Tupac]


Now of course I want peace on the streets

But realistically

Painting perfect pictures ain't never work

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

Their was unity

But after puberty we brought war

To our community

So many bodies dropping

Its gotta stop

I want to help

But still I'm stepping

Keeping my weapon

Must protect myself

The promise of a better tomorrow

ain't never reach me

Plus my teachers were to 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 there childhood to guns

Nobody cries no more

Cause we all die for fun

So why you ask me if I want peace

If you cant grant it

Niggas fighting across the whole planet

So we can never be peace


[Chorus]


Will there ever be peace?

Or all we all just headed for doom,

Still consumed by the beefs,

And I know there never be peace,

That's why I keep my pistol when I walk the streets

Cause there can never be peace


[Verse 2: Kastro]


Somebody owes me

Will they control me?, nah

I ain't a hater playa

But I want all you got

Your babies have babies

Now we fighting each other

My dogs got rabies

They biting each other

'n' it ain't hard to find a friend like mine

Big fully is a bully

And he don't mind dying

And I gotta be bright

Miss 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 cool with that finally

But they heard it before

Dog

We living in a prison

Losing our religion on em

Thanks given when thankful just for living in hell

Damn homey I don't mean to be harsh

But it's the 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 the peace in my heart

Never


[Kastro talking]

The only peace we got

Is the peace in our heart

Or the peace in our mind

Right there in piece that we hold in our waste line

Feel me dog?

Cm'on


[Chorus]


Will there ever be peace?

Or all we all just headed for doom,

Still consumed by the beefs,

And I know there never be peace, (never)

Thats why I keep my pistol when I walk the streets

'Coz there can never be peace


[Verse 3: Napolean]


Things are changing

Nigga you better fantasize

I'm only concerned about me and mine in these times

The world is a ghetto where peace is not a part of it

We all goin' need God if we plan to get out of this

Niggas spending too much time hating on each other

Niggas buyin' guns

Load em up

Aim at each other

And the victim is you and me

The secret is 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 knows 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 imposters

Never let no weapon formed against me prosper

Cause they'll never be peace

So don't rely on it

Soldiers die for

And in the ghetto, they trying for it

FUCK PEACE


[Chorus X3]


Will there ever be peace?

Or all we all just headed for doom,

Still consumed by the beefs,

And I know there never be peace,

That's why I keep my pistol when I walks the streets

Cause there can never be peace


[Tupac Talking]


Shit, fuck peace

On the strength till my niggas get a piece

We cant have peace

How the fuck we gonna live happy if we ain't got none?

You motherfuckers is smiling, but I'm mean mugging

Why? Cause gotta be thugging

I've seen drugs done turned this motherfucking 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 have a funeral every motherfucking weekend

And you motherfuckers talking about peace?

Nigga, it ain't no motherfucking peace

You ain't seen the news motherfucker?

You ain't heard?

Little babies getting smoked

Motherfuckers killing there whole family

'Lil kids getting thrown off buildings

Motherfuckers gettin abused

Peace? Niggas you out your motherfucking mind?

Fuck peace

We can't never have peace, till you motherfuckers clean up this mess you made

'Till u fucking clean up the dirt u dropped

'Till we get a piece

Fuck peace
