2pac This Ain`t Livin Lyrics

This Ain`t Livin Lyrics

Intro -

this ain`t livin;

1st Verse - 

nigga;
i hear even the smaller `g`s be dippin` Chevy Impalas;
while flossin` they gold d`s;
o.g`s is who they follow;
we swallow tomorrow`s seeds;
what we leave is hollow;
we feed violence and greed;
let `em lead tomorrow;
in time they grippin` nines;
sippin` wine they wild;
still I be starin`;
watch the parents sacrifice they child;
the love`s gone;
a thug`s home;
with no love feelin` so strong;
make young boys in the club dealers;
now one`s for adolescents;
now dose for doughs;
keep your friends by your side;
even close your foes;
now three for johnny law;
tryin` to take my chips;
i never pulled the trigger;
didn`t touch that bit*h;
throw your hands in the air;
it`s a robbery;
_________ think of Pac; 
would you ride with me?;
let`s go see what our enemies talkin` `bout;
when `g`s enter the house nobody`s walkin` out;
this ain`t livin;
it`s similar to prison;
we`re trapped;
my homies jealous plus they tell us that the phones is tapped;
i watch my back twenty-four seven;
and never let a busta send a `g` to ghetto heaven;
y-ou know;
this is how it goes;
when we floss with flows;
before I toss your hoes;
it would cost you mo`;
i do shows;
make a lotta dough;
murder my foes;
but i`d give it all up - if it would help you grow;
this ain`t livin;

Hook 1 -

(singer)
takes a life to make a life;

can`t find a better way to breakthrough;
(Pac)
this ain`t livin;
(singer)
this ain`t livin` - i gotta do what i gotta do;

this ain`t livin` - i gotta do what i gotta do;

2nd verse - 

peep;
gunfire is produced at alarmin` rates;
today`s youth quick to shoot;
get in the car and break;
it takes a nation of millions;
if we intend to stop the killin`;
just search your feelin`s;
participation should be appealin`;
they our seeds;
and when they bleed we bleed;
that`s what becomes of lonely children;
they turn to `g`s;
heavenly father can you rescue?;
my young nation - rest;
the lord will protect you;
respect due;
not a threat;
as i step in blue;
and check those that opposed when i froze them fools;
and who are you - to watch me fall father;
i disappeared and reappeared as the _____________; 
(my guess is "as the Don Killuminati")
follow me now;
skippin` class and livin` fast;
will get your ass;
stuck in the pen;
doin` life plus ten;
young brother pump your brakes for me;
before you choke;
won`t you soak up some game from your big homie;
this ain`t livin`;
we givin` you jewels;
use `em as tools;
explode on the industry;
and fade them fools;
you know the rules;
gotta be a ridah;
you can run the redlights but read the street signs;
hey;
this for all of y`all to keep on raisin` hell;
put a pistol in your hand and let you fade yourself;
it ain`t right;
what you put your mama through;
young `g`;
gotta change your life;
take the game from me;
this ain`t livin`;
