Live Medley

[Part I: California Love]

[Audience Applause]

[Verse: 2Pac]

Out on bail, fresh out of jail, California dreamin'

Soon as I step on the scene, I'm hearin' hoochies screamin'

Fiendin' for money and alcohol, the life of a Westside player

Where cowards die and the strong ball

Only in Cali where we riot, not rally, to live and die

In L.A. we wearin' Chucks, not Ballys

Dressed in Locs and Khaki suits, and ride is what we do

Flossin' but have caution: we collide with other crews

Famous because we program

Worldwide, let them recognize from Long Beach to Rosecrans

Bumpin' and grindin' like a slow jam

It's Westside, so you know the Row won't bow down to no man

Say what you say, but give me that bomb beat from Dre

Let me serenade the streets of L.A

From Oakland to Sac-town, the Bay Area and back down

Cali is where they put their mack down, give me love!

[Chorus: 2Pac]

California knows how to party

California knows how to party

Keep it rocking

Keep it rocking

[Spoken Word: 2Pac]

California Love

Death Row

Let's take 'em to church

[Part II: So Many Tears]

[Spoken Word: 2Pac]

My homeboy

This goes out to my homeboy [?]

If there ain't no justice for the dawg

Ain't no justice whatsoever

[Verse 1]

Back in elementary, I thrived on misery

Left me alone, I grew up amongst a dyin' breed

Inside my mind couldn't find a place to rest

Until I got that Thug Life tatted on my chest

Tell me, can you feel me? I'm not livin' in the past

You wanna last? See the first to blast

Remember Kato, no longer with us, he's deceased

Call on the sirens, seen him murdered in the streets

Now he rest in peace

Is there a heaven for a G? Remember me

So many homies in the cemetery, shed so many tears

[Refrain]

Lord, I suffered through the years

And shed so many tears

Lord

[Verse 2]

Now that I'm strugglin' in this business, by any means

Label me greedy gettin' green, but seldom seen

And fuck the world 'cause I'm cursed

I'm havin' visions of leavin' here in a hearse

God, can you feel me?

Take me away from all the pressure and all the pain

Show me some happiness again

I'm goin' blind, I spend my time in this cell, ain't livin' well

I know my destiny is Hell, where did I fail?

My life is in denial and when I die

Baptized in eternal fire, shed so many tears

[Refrain]

Lord, I suffered through the years (C'mon wit' it)

And shed so many tears

Lord, I suffered through the years

And shed so many tears

Lord, I suffered through the years

And shed so many tears
