2Pac - Never Be Peace In My Dreams (ft. The Game) Songtexte

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
Niggaz fightin 'cross the whole planet, so it could never be peace

Chorus
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 : The Game
I woke up out dat coma, 2000 and 1
Bout the same time Dre dropped 2000 and 1
Three years later, that album is done
Aftermath presents: "Nigga With a Attitude : Volume 1"
Rap critics politicin'
Wanna know the outcome
Ready to die,Reasonable Doubt and Doggystyle in one
I feel like Pac,after the Snoop Dogg trial was done
Dre behind that G-Series and All Eyez On Me
I watched the death of a dynasty
So i told VIBE MAGAZINE
Workin' with Dr.Dre was a .....
I had visions of makin a classic
Then my wall turned black, like i was starin outa Stevie Wonders glasses
Its kinda hard to imagine, like Kanye West
Comin back from his fatal accident, to beat makin and rappin
But, we da future
Whitney Houston told me that: it's gon take mo' than a bullet in the heart to hold me back

Chorus
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 (x3)

.. Shit, fuck peace!
On the strength 'til my niggaz get a piece, we can't have peace
How the fuck we gon' live happy when we ain't got nuttin?
You muh'fuckers are smilin but I'm mean muggin
Why, cause I GOTTA be thuggin
It seems drugs done turned this whole motherfuckin hood out
All us niggaz actin up, wild-ass motherfuckin adolescents
These niggaz ain't even got no childhoods no more
How the fuck can you have a childhood
and you at the funeral every muh'fuckin weekend?
Pssh, and you muh'fuckers 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, muh'fuckers killin they whole family
Lil' kids gettin thrown off buildings, muh'fuckers 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
Fuck Peace! Westside! Death Row...

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

It was all a dream ...
That's why I keep my pistol when I walk the streets
Cause there could never be peace
