Never Be Peace (Original Version)

[Verse 1: 2Pac]

Now of course I want peace on the streets, but realistically

Paintin' perfect pictures ain't never worked, my misery

Was so deep, couldn't sleep through all my pressures

In my quest for cash I learned fast, usin' violent measures

Memories of adolescent years, there was unity

But after puberty, we brought war to our community

So many bodies droppin', it's gotta stop, I wanna help

But still I'm steppin', keep my weapon, must protect myself

The promise of a better tomorrow ain't never reached me

Plus my teachers was too petrified in class to teach me

Sippin' Thunderbird and grape Kool-Aid, callin' Earl

Since my stomach was empty it seduced me to fuck the world

Watch my lil' homies lose they childhoods to guns

Nobody cries no more, ‘cause we all die for fun

So why you ask me if I want peace if you can't grant it?

Niggas fightin' across the whole planet

So it could never be peace

[Hook 1: 2Pac]

Will there ever be peace, or are we all, just headed for doom?

Still consumed by the beast?

And I know there'll never be peace

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

‘Cause there could never be peace

[Verse 2: Marvaless]

No time to rest, they stressed out

I can't remember the days my homie was here

Now a days we live in fear, the struggle still here

So now who's grabbin there strap, Who's gettin' burnt wild

Representin' the generation of killers when I was a child

Had many dreams, the reality kept me and my homie stressin'

Tryna' raise my baby girl to be the strongest

Knowin' I'm doin' wrongest

I never had a bright day

Just drunkless and smokin' blunts and gettin' pay day

Wishin' my partner made it

It was peace [?] was deceased I know there'll never be

All my tears were shed when i lost my homie number three

It's gettin' harder to see impossiblity should we just face it

Can't get through the pain but still I can't erase it

So many trials and tribulations, the things we facin'

Wicked days, can't see no brighter days, it's time to chase it

Cross dreams 'cause the scene is when you never get by

That's why I gotta stay high, you never know when you die

My heart'll never leave the ghetto I know to rise only in peace

That's why I say, there ain't never goin' to be no peace

End

[Hook 2: 2Pac]

So will there ever be peace

Or are we all just headed for doom?

Still consumed by the beast?

And I know there'll never be peace

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

Fool there'll never be peace

[Verse 3: Storm]

Livin' like lonely, but I can't even cry

'Cause visions of deceptions all around, got my eyes full of despise Who can I trust, why even try

They say the world is mines, but I know it's a lie

Livin' to die, set up from birth, steady dreamin'

Wishin' for better days, but all I see is daemons

Close my eyes and remenise of my childhood

But all I felt was pain for my arrival

No memories of nothin' nice

Nothin' but blinder reminders of my future life

I'm freakin' out, I'm gettin' closer to that other level

Will I be strong with game or just a heartless devil

I hope I'm able to find peace in me

'Cause there is Storm 64 inches deep in me

And I try to do the right, but it's the wrong things

That seem to bring me right back to this dirty game

There'll never be peace

[Hook 3: 2Pac]

Fuck peace!

Will there ever be peace, or are we all just, headed for doom?

Still consumed by the beast?

And I know there'll never be peace

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

Fool, there'll never be peace

Will there ever be peace, or are we all just, headed for doom?

Still consumed by the beast?

And I know there'll never be peace

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

Nigga, there'll never be peace

Will there ever be peace, or are we all just, headed for doom?

Still consumed by the beast?

And I know there'll never be peace

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

Nigga, there'll never be peace

Will there ever be peace?

[Outro: 2Pac]

Shit, fuck peace!

On the strength 'til my niggas get a piece, we can't have peace

How the fuck we gon' live happy when we ain't got nothing?

You motherfuckers are smilin', but I'm mean muggin'

Why? ‘Cause I gotta be thuggin'

It seems drugs done turned this whole mothafuckin' hood out

All us niggas actin' up, wild-ass motherfuckin' adolescents

These niggas ain't even got no childhoods no more

How the fuck can you have a childhood

And you at the funeral every motherfuckin' weekend?

Pssh, and you motherfuckers talkin' about peace?

Nigga, it ain't no motherfuckin' peace

You ain't seen the news motherfucker? You ain't heard?

Lil' babies gettin' smoked, motherfuckers killin' they whole family

Lil' kids gettin' thrown off buildings

Motherfuckers gettin' abused

Peace? Nigga, is you out your fuckin' mind?

Fuck peace! We can't never have peace

'Til you motherfuckers clean up this mess you made

'Til you fuckin' clean up the dirt you dropped

'Til we get a piece, fuck peace!

Westside, Death Row, Outlaw Immortalz, Thug Life baby

You know how we do this shit

That was Storm, Marvaless and Pac

[Final hook: 2Pac]

Will there ever be peace

Or are we all just headed for doom?

Still consumed by the beast?

And I know there'll never be peace

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

'Cause there'll never be peace
