This is not the end
This is not the beginning,
Just a voice like a riot
Rocking every revision
But you listen to the tone
And the violet rhythm
Though the words sound steady
Something empty's within 'em
We say Yeah!
With fists flying up in the air
Like we're holding onto something
Thats invisible there,
Cuz we're living at the mercy of
The pain and the fear
Until we dead it, Forget it,
Let it all dissapear.
Waiting for the end to come
Wishing I had strength to stand
This is not what I had planned
It's out of my control....
Flying at the speed of light
Thoughts we're spinning in my head
So many things were left unsaid
It's hard to let you go...
(Oh!) I know what it takes to move on,
I know how it feels to lie,
All I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got
Sitting in an empty room
Trying to forget the past
This was never meant to last,
I wish it wasn't so...
(Oh!) I know what it takes to move on,
I know how it feels to lie,
All I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what I haven't got
What was left when that fire was gone?
I thought it felt right but that right was wrong
All caught up in the eye of the storm
And trying to figure out what it's like moving on
And i don't even know what kind of things I've said
My mouth kept moving and my mind went dead
So, picking up the pieces, now where to begin?
The hardest part of ending Is starting again!!
All I wanna do
Is trade this life for something new
Holding on to what i haven't got...
This is not the end
This is not the beginning,
Just a voice like a riot
Rocking every revision... Read more »
Forfeit the game, stop the talk show.
Product of what, your taught to know.
Forfeit the game, cause tomorrow
When its all done, you reap what you sow.
You love the way, I look at you
While taking pleasure in the awful things you put me through
You take away if I give in
My life, my pride is broken
You like to think you're never wrong
(You live what you've learned)
You have to act like you're someone
(You live what you've learned)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You live what you've learned)
You want to share what you've been through
(You live what you've learned)
You love the things, I say I do
The way I hurt myself again just to get back at you
You take away when I give in
My life, my pride is broken
You like to think you're never wrong
You live what you've learned)
You have to act like you're someone
(You live what you've learned)
You want someone to hurt like you
(You live what you've learned)
You want to share what you've been through
(You live what you've learned)

No regrets for the confidence betrayed,
No more hiding in shadow
Cause I won't wait for the debt to be repaid.
The time has come for you.
Victimized, victimized, never again, victimized
Victimized, victimized, never again, victimized
They're acting like they want a riot, it's a riot I'll give 'em
As the sidle calms, higher on this violent rhythm
These snake in the grass, supplying the venom.
I ain't scared of your teeth, I ain't buying what's in 'em
You'll be waiting in the shadows there thinking they're hidden.
But the truth is you don't have the stomach to get 'em.
Lauren already hit 'em, yeah you got to be kidd'n.
Wanna talk about a victim? Imma put you there with 'em.
Victimized, victimized, never again, victimized
Victimized, victimized, never again, victimized
Noooooooooo
A fire needs a space to burn.
A breath to build a glow.
I've heard it said a thousand times.
But now I know.
That you don't know what you've got.
Oh you don't know what you've got.
No you don't know what you've got.
Until it's gone.
I thought I kept you safe and sound.
I thought I made you strong.
But something made me realize.
That I was wrong.
'Cause finding what you got sometimes.
Is finding it alone.
And I can finally see your light.
When I let go.
'Cause you don't know what you've got.
Until it's gone.
'Til it's gone...
'Cause you don't know what you've got.
Oh you don't know what you've got.
No you don't know what you've got.
It's your battle to be fought.
No you don't know what you've got.
'Til it's gone.
My insides are turned to ash, so slow
And blew away as I collapsed, so cold
A black wind took them away, from sight
And held the darkness over day, that night
And the clouds above move closer
Looking so disatisfied
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
I used to be my own protection, but not now
Cause my path has lost direction, somehow
A black wind took you away, from sight
And held the darkness over day, that night
And the clouds above move closer
Looking so disatisfied
And the ground below grew colder
As they put you down inside
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
So now you're gone
And I was wrong
I never knew what it was like
To be alone
On a Valentine's Day, On a Valentine's Day
On a Valentine's Day, On a Valentine's Day
On a Valentine's Day, On a Valentine's Day
On a Valentine's Day, On a Valentine's Day
(I used to be my own protection but not now)
On a Valentine's Day, On a Valentine's Day
(Cuz my mind has lost direction somehow)
On a Valentine's Day, On a Valentine's Day
(I used to be my own protection but not now)
On a Valentine's Day, On a Valentine's Day
(Cuz my mind has lost direction somehow)
September 13th 1996 Tupac in the mix
of some Sug Night bullsh*t
nobody saw it comin
nobody knew what hit
its been almost 7 years since you been gone
we all miss you dawg
thats why i wrote this song
from "me against the world"
to "all eyes on me"
you was a real mother f*cker
yeah you made me see
you made me see
CHORUS[4x]:
i said nobody saw it comin
nobody even knows why
somebody please tell me why
you had to die
March 9th 1997 LA california
another 1-8-7
you were ready to die
just like your album said
so many player haters
that wana see you dead
took the game of brooklyn
gave it to the world
your whole life revolved around
rap and your little girl
so many rappers out there tryna bite your style
even Em and 50 and 8 mile
you were the man the myth the legend
wonder if you and pac made peace in heaven
I was born with the hunger of a lion, the strength of a sun.
I don't need to sweat it when the competition come.
Original style like an 808 drum,
So I don't run the track.
No, I make the track run.
My mama taught me words, my daddy built rockets.
I put 'em both together. Now, tell me what I got.
It's a pretty smart weapon:
I can shoot it, I can drop it.
But learn to respect it because you surely can't stop it like that.
It ain't over 'cause the shark's on the left side,
the snake's on the right.
And anything you do, they wanna get a little bite.
It really doesn't matter if you're wrong or if you're right.
‘Cause once they get their teeth in,
nothing really fights.
And as for me, I do it like I got nothing to lose.
And you can run your mouth like
you could try to fill my shoes.
But steady little solider,
I ain't standing next to you.
I'd be laying on the ground
before you're even in my view.
Like that.
Give me the strength of the rising sun.
Give me the truth of the words unsung.
And when the last bells ring, the poor men sing
"Bring me to kingdom come"
This is something for your people on the block
to black out and rock to.
Give you what you need like poppa, who shot ya
“Separate the weak from the obsolete”,
You're meek, I creep hard on imposters
And switch styles on the dime, quick-witted
Ya'll quit tripping,
I don't have time for your crying.
I grind tough, sucker, make your mind up.
Are you in the firing squad or are you in the line-up?
Bang bang
Little monkey man playing with the big guns -
will only get you slain I ain't playing.
I'm just saying you

God bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can't be outfought
It can't be outdone
It can't outmatched
It can't be outrun
No
God bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
And it can't be outfought
It can't be outdone
It can't outmatched
It can't be outrun
No
And when I close my eyes tonight
To symphonies of blinding light
God bless us everyone
We're a broken people living under loaded gun
Like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky
God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns
For the sins of our hands
The sins of our tongues
The sins of our fathers
The sins of our young
No
God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns
For the sins of our hands
The sins of our tongues
The sins of our fathers
The sins of our young
No
And when I close my eyes tonight
To symphonies of blinding light
God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns
Like memories in cold decay
Transmissions echoing away
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky
And when I close my eyes tonight
To symphonies of blinding light
Far from the world of you and I
Where oceans bleed into the sky
Lift me up, let me go (10x)
(It can't be outdone
It can't outmatched
It can't be outrun
No)
God save us everyone
Will we burn inside the fires of a thousand suns
For the sins of our hands
The sins of our tongues
The sins of our fathers
The sins of our young
No
