(featuring The Outlawz)

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

[First Chorus: 2Pac]

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

Somebody owes me - will they control me? Not

I ain't a hater player but I want all you got

Y'all babies had babies now we fightin each other

My dawgs got rabies, they bitin each other

And it ain't hard to find a friend like mine

Bigfully is a bullet and he don't mind dyin

And I gotta be blind, missed sign after sign

Time after time, after time after time

And I don't like nobody, they don't like me more

And I'm good with that finally but it heard it before

Dawg, we livin in a prison, losin our religion

On, Thanksgiving we thankful, just for livin in Hell

Damn homey, I don't mean to be harsh

But there's a Devil in the ghetto tryin to tear it apart

And if we make it up out, we still stuck in the dark

Will there ever be peace? Just a piece of my heart

Never

[Interlude: Outlawz]

The only peace, we got, is a piece of our heart

Piece of our mind, or that damn piece, that we hold in our waistline

You feel me dawg? C'mon, uhh

[Middle Chorus: 2Pac]

So 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 (never)

That's why I keep my pistol when I walk the streets

Cause there'll never be peace

Thangs is changin, nigga you better read the signs

I'm only concerned about me and mine in these times

The world is a ghetto and peace is not a part of it

We all believe God's new plan to make it out of this

Niggaz spendin too much time hatin on each other

Niggaz buyin guns, loadin 'em up, aimin at each other

And the victim is you and me, it's sick but it's true indeed

The GOOd Die, Mostly Over Bullshit, repeatedly

Deep in me there's a part that wants nothin but love

But the rest of me know, war is what's waitin for us

So I stays ready, keep my pay heavy and boss up

Stack my funds and my guns, never rely on luck

Askin God to point out the imposter

Never let no weapon formed against me prosper

Cause there'll never be peace, so don't rely on it

Soldiers dyin for it - and in the ghetto, they cryin for it

But fuck peace!

[Final Chorus: 2Pac]

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

Fool, there'll never be peace

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

Nigga there'll never be peace

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 walks the streets

Nigga there'll never be peace

[Outro: 2Pac]

Will there ever be peace?

.. 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
