[2Pac]
I was so money orientated, initiated as a thug
Fiendin for wicked adventures, ambitious as I was
Picture a nigga on the verge of livin insane
I sold my soul for a chance to kick it and bang
Now tell if I'm wrong
but sayin "Fuck the world" got you deeper in my songs
Drinkin 'til I earl, spendin money 'til it's gone
It's the good life - maybe niggaz got it goin on
Now maybe if I died, and came back, wouldn't have to slang crack
Addicted to the game, so obviously we came strapped
Please forgive me for my wicked ways, fuck a bitch
Bad Boy niggaz eat a dick a day, bumpin this
Lord have mercy it's a slaughter
So wicked that my tracks is wettin niggaz like it's water
I learned my lessons as a thug in these wicked ass hood fights
But I'm a baller now, nigga, I live the good life
[Chorus]
This is the good life, fuck my foes
God bless the dumb niggaz that, trust them hoes
Found a way to stack money guaranteed to rise
and live the good life, cause thug niggaz don't die
We live the good life, fuck my foes
God bless the dumb niggaz that, trust these hoes
Found a way to stack money guaranteed to rise
and live the good life, cause thug niggaz don't die
[Big Syke]
No one knows what the, future holds, but you
Haha.. listen close
They say reach in yo' heart and you'll find your mind
Every day in the streets, got my foresight blind
My after time is narrow, peepin down the barrel of a foe
Just a nigga or a killer I don't know so
who makes the call will I fall a victim like the rest?
Slug in the chest, one in the dome and make sure I'm gone
Send me home all alone in these cold streets
In desperation constantly drinkin and I can't sleep
Neck deep strugglin tryin to survive
SOme wanna die I wanna stay alive, eyes on the prize
Let me modify this whole region
I declare this sucker duckin season, give me the reason
why I should change, into a softie
.. after living so loftily
It cost me my soul out of control in a devil's world
Me, my niggaz, and my girl - livin the good life!
[Chorus]
[E.D.I.]
I spend my days and nights not knowin if, strays in flight
gon' finally catch me, it's the good life, can you hear me?
Clearly over the edge, soon as I wake up
Last night we off the hook, doin way too much
But it's the fast lane only, big dealin big ceiling
All for the money, some kill some squeal
All for the money, most ain't even real
but we still call 'em homies, now what the fuck is that?
Fake love, fake thugs are, all in the game
I watch 'em all plot and fall while we come up and gain
Outlaw never surrender is the call when you hear us comin
Better start to get to runnin 'fore my click get to gunnin
Still in the midst of all the stress and pain
I'm still tryin to get a hold of the game, livin that good life
I was so money orientated, initiated as a thug
Fiendin for wicked adventures, ambitious as I was
Picture a nigga on the verge of livin insane
I sold my soul for a chance to kick it and bang
Now tell if I'm wrong
but sayin "Fuck the world" got you deeper in my songs
Drinkin 'til I earl, spendin money 'til it's gone
It's the good life - maybe niggaz got it goin on
Now maybe if I died, and came back, wouldn't have to slang crack
Addicted to the game, so obviously we came strapped
Please forgive me for my wicked ways, fuck a bitch

why I should change, into a softie

illuminati. no wonder why this song wasnt in the database till today.
2pac was shot by illuminati w/ bad boy. then he agreed to work for them, signed with DEATH ROW, and pumped out this shit with All Eyez On Me.
Pac made a ton of money. Used it to make Makaveli Records. First album on Makaveli Records? KILLUMINATI.
Same month its released 2Pac is killed.
Strange huh?
He even says it in this song, "I sold my soul for a chance to kick it and bang."
I just want to put a quote Tupac said which came out after Me Against The World, which includes the track So Many Tears.
"What I want people to know is that. Don't. Don't support the phonies. Support the real. You know what I mean? How can these people be talking about they so real they don't care about our communities. How can they be talking about all this, you know the hood blah blah. They don't care about our communities. You know what I mean."
"Listen to the words people say in their lyrics, and tell me. If that's some real shit. Is that real to you? You know what I mean listen to what they saying. Don't just bob your head to the beat, peep the game. Listen to what I'm saying and hold me accountable for it."
"My music is spiritual if you listen to it. It's all about emotion. I tell my innermost darkest secrets."
^ This was also before the album All Eyez On Me.
"I know my destiny is Hell, where did I fail?
My life is in denial, and when I die,
baptized in eternal fire I'll shed so many tears"
"And though my soul was deleted, I couldn't see it
I had my mind full of demons tryin to break free
They planted seeds and they hatched, sparkin the flame
Inside my brain like a match, such a dirty game"
Game = Music Industry.
Illuminati supposedly runs the industry.
When Thugz Cry:
"They puttin hits out on politicians, even cops, I ain't lyin
They got me sleepin with my infrared beams
And in my dreams I hear motherfuckers screamin
What is the meaning, when thugs cry?"
"Makin yo people disappear wonder where they went,
Am I cold or is it just I sold my soul?"
In Ghetto Star:
"Introduce you to the pleasure and the pain, you can go so far
Just sell me your soul, and live the life.. (of a ghetto star)"
In Smile:
"Sellin' my soul for material wishes, fast cars and bitches
Wishin' I live my life a legend, immortalized in pictures"
if you actually read all this check out Harder Then You Think by Public Enemy. They talk about it.
Eminem always subliminally talks about illuminati. He does in Say Goodbye Hollywood, Lose Yourself.
I mean even look at the song titles. It's all there. We're just too programmed into their shit to slow down and peep it out.
Michael Jackson talks about illuminati all the time.
In Been There Done That by Dr.Dre:
"If money is the root I want the whole damn tree,
Ain't trying to stick around for illuminati,
Got to by my own island for the year 2G."
People arent just making shit up.
We just dont want to believe it.
