Staring Through My Rear View

[Intro: 2Pac] Starin' at the world through my rearview Just lookin' back at the world From another level, you know what I mean? Starin' [Verse 1: 2Pac] Multiple gunshots clear the block, the fun stops Snitches is callin' cops, people shot, nobody stops I wonder when the world stopped carin' Last night two kids shot while the whole block starin' I will never understand this society First they try to murder me, then they lie to me Product of a dyin' breed; all my homies tryin' weed Now the little babies crazed, raised off Hennessy Tell me, will my enemies flee when they see me? Believe me, even thugs gotta learn to take it easy Listen, through intermissions, search your heart for a plan And we turnin' bad boys to grown men, it's on again I give a holla to my niggas in the darkest corners Roll a perfect blunt, and let me spark it for ya One love from a thug nigga Rollin' with a posse full of paranoid drug dealers To the end, my friend, I'm seein' nothin' but my dreams comin' true While I'm starin' at the world through my rearview See, I'm seein' nothin' but my dreams comin' true While I'm starin' at the world through my rearview [Hook: 2Pac] They got me starin' at the world through my rearview Go on, baby, scream to God, he can't hear you I can feel your heart beatin' fast 'cause it's time to die Gettin' high, watchin' time fly And all my motherfuckers Starin' at the world through my rearview Go on, baby, scream to God, he can't hear you I can feel your heart beatin' fast 'cause it's time to die Gettin' high, watchin' time fly And all my motherfuckers [Verse 2: E.D.I. Mean] Now you see him, now you don't Some niggas be here for the moment, and then they gone What happened to 'em? Well, let's see, it seems to be a mystery But all I know I never let the money get to me Stay down like the truest Thug Life until I check out this bitch, I thought you knew this Who is gonna catch me when I fall or even care to? While you thinkin' I see you lost up in my rearview Hear you is down with them Outlawz Outcast, left far, I'm through like southpaws But still we keep mashin' until our dreams come through Starin' at the world through my rearview [Verse 3: 2Pac] Now, I was raised as a young black male In order to get paid, forced to make crack sales Caught a nigga so they send me to these overpacked jails In the cell, countin' days in this livin' black hell Do you feel me? Keys to ignition, use at your discretion Roll with a 12 gauge pump for protection Niggas hate me in the section, from years of chin-checkin' Turn to Smith & Wesson war weapons Heavenly Father, I'm a soldier I'm gettin' hotter 'cause the world's gettin' colder Baby, let me hold ya: talk to my guns like they fly bitches All you bustas best to run, look at my bitches! [Bridge: 2Pac] Now I know the answers to the question, “Do dreams come true?” Still starin' at the world through my rearview I said, now I know the answer, “Do dreams come true?” Starin' at the world through my rearview [Hook: 2Pac] They got me starin' at the world through my rearview Go on, baby, scream to God, he can't hear you I can feel your heart beatin' fast 'cause it's time to die Gettin' high, watchin' time fly And all my motherfuckers Starin' at the world through my rearview Go on, baby, scream to God, he can't hear you I can feel your heart beatin' fast 'cause it's time to die Gettin' high, watchin' time fly Nigga, Kadafi say! [Verse 4: Yaki Kadafi] Back in the days we hustled for sneakers and beepers '9-6 for Glocks 'Cause fiends hittin' up blocks with street sweepers Bless myself when knowin' rules to these streets Somethin' I learned in school On some Million Man March shit for the peace True that, only one life to lead, a fast life of greed Criminally addicted, infested since a seed We all die, breed, bleed like humans Towns run by young guns, Outlawz and truants Shit's deep, turn eighteen, burn my will when I go Burnt my body with my shotty, or choosin' my dough So while you reminiscin' all nights out with the crew Smoke a blunt for me too, I'm starin' through your rearview [Skit: 2Pac] Hahahaha, you ain't knowin' what we mean by starin' through the rearview So, since you ain't knowin' what we mean, let me break it better understandin' the world…The world is behind us Once a motherfucker get an understandin' on the game, and what the levels and the rules of the game is Then the world ain't no trick no more, the world is a game to be played So, now we lookin' at the world from, high watch, behind us Niggas know what we gotta do: just gotta put our mind to it and do it, it's all about the papers, money rule the world Bitches make the world go round Real niggas do what they wanna do, bitch niggas do what they can [Outro: 2Pac] They got me starin' at the world through my rearview Go on, baby, scream to God, he can't hear you I can feel your heart beatin' fast 'cause it's time to die Gettin' high, watchin' time fly And all my motherfuckers Starin' at the world through my rearview Go on, baby, scream to God, he can't hear you I can feel your heart beatin' fast 'cause it's time to die Gettin' high, watchin' time fly
