“Street Science, you’re on the air. What do you feel when you hear a record like Tupac’s new one?”“ |
| [00:05.68] |
“I love Tupac’s new record”“ |
| [00:06.80] |
“Right, but don’t you feel like that creates - ahh- tension between East and West? |
| [00:11.92] |
I mean, he’s talking about killing people, ‘I had sex with your wife’ - and not in those words. |
| [00:17.32] |

| [00:31.05] |
To live and die in L.A., where everyday we try to fatten our pockets |
| [00:34.42] |
Us niggas hustle for the cash so it’s hard to knock it |
| [00:37.52] |
Everybody got they own thang, currency chasin’ |
| [00:40.15] |
Worldwide through the hard times, worrying faces |
| [00:42.95] |
Shed tears as we bury niggas close to heart |

Who was a friend is now a ghost in the dark |
| [00:47.94] |
Cold hearted bout it, nigga got smoked by a fiend |
| [00:50.63] |
Trying to floss on him blind to a broken man’s dream |
| [00:53.39] |
A hard lesson |
| [00:54.59] |
Court cases keep me guessin |
| [00:56.15] |
Plea bargain ain’t an option now, so I’m stressin |
| [00:58.81] |
Cost me more to be free than a life in the pen |
| [01:01.66] |
Making money off of cuss words, writing again |
| [01:04.29] |
Learn how to think ahead, so I fight with my pen |
| [01:06.93] |
Late night down sunset liking the scene |
| [01:09.86] |

| [01:49.20] |
So many niggas getting three strikes, tossed in jail |
| [01:51.91] |

Living life thug style |
| [01:59.61] |
So I can’t smile |
| [02:00.84] |
Writing to my peoples when they ask for pictures |
| [02:03.09] |
Thinking Cali just fun and bitches |

Black love, brown pride and the sets again |
| [02:49.86] |
Pete Wilson trying to see us all broke |
