This ain't livin.. livin'

[2Pac]
Nigga - Nigga, I hear even the smaller G's be dippin dippin' Chevy Impalas
while flossinWhile flossin' they gold D's, O.G.'s, is who they follow
We (?)swallow tomorrow(?) swallow tomorrow see, what we leave is hollow
We feed violence and greed, let 'em bleed tomorrow
In time, they grip a nine, sippin wine - sippin' wine, hit grass
'til'Til I be starin starin' watch the parents sacrifice they child
The love's gone, a thug's home, with no love
FeelinFeelin' so strong, make young boys into drug lordsenter added
Now one for adolescents, now dos for dose
Keep yo' friends by your side, even close your foes
Now three for Johnny Law tryin tryin' to make my chips
I never pulled the trigger, didn't touch that bitch
Throw yo' hands in the air, it's a robbery
.. thinkinThinkin' 'Pac, would you ride with me
Let's go see what our enemies talkin bout talkin' 'bout
When G's enter the house nobody's walkin walkin' outenter added
This ain't livin, livin', it's similar to prison, we trapped
My homies jealous plus they tell us that the phones is tapped
I watch my back twenty-fo' seven
andAnd never let a busta send a G to ghetto heaven, you know!
This is how it goes when we floss with foes
Before I toss yo' hoe, it'll cost you mo'
I do shows shows, make a lot of dough, murder my foes
But I'd give it all up, if it would help you grow
This ain't livin livin'

[Chorus 2X: sung]
Takes a life to make a life (takes
(Takes a life)
LivinLivin' in the world of crime tonight (takes
(Takes a life)
Can't find a better way to break you
This ain't livin livin', I gotta do what I gotta do
[2Pac]Takes a life to make a life
(Takes a life)
Livin' in the world of crime tonight
(Takes a life)
Can't find a better way to break you
This ain't livin', I gotta do what I gotta do

Peep it - it, gunfire is produced at alarmin alarmin' rates
Today's youth, grip the shit, get in the car and break
"It Takes takes a Nation nation of Millions" millions" if we intend to stop the killin killin'
Just search your feelings, participate so be appealing, in some [Incomprehensible]
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
restRest the Lord will protect you, respect dueenter added
Not a threat as I step in blue, and blue
And check thoseenter deleted
that oppose when I froze them fools, and fools
And who are youenter deleted
to watch me fall farther
I disappeared, reappeared as the .. the, follow me now
SkippinSkippin' class, and livin fast, will get yo' ass
stuckStuck in the pen, doin doin' life plus ten
Young brother pump yo' brakes for me, before you choke
won'tWon't ya soak up some game from yo' big homiesenter added
This ain't livin, livin', we givin givin' you jewelsl, jewels, use 'em as tools
Explode on they industry and fade them fools
You know the rules, gotta be a rider
You can run the red lights but read the street signs, heyy hey
This for all of y'all that keep on raisin raisin' hell
Put a pistol in your hand and let you fade yourself
It ain't right, what you put your momma through, young G
Gotta change your life, take the game from me
This ain't livin livin'
[Chorus - 2X]Takes a life to make a life
(Takes a life)
Livin' in the world of crime tonight
(Takes a life)
Can't find a better way to break you
This ain't livin', I gotta do what I gotta do

Takes a life to make a life
(Takes a life)
Livin' in the world of crime tonight
(Takes a life)
Can't find a better way to break you
This ain't livin', I gotta do what I gotta do

Takes a life to make a life
(Takes a life)
Livin' in the world of crime tonight
(Takes a life)
Can't find a better way to break you
This ain't livin', I gotta do what I gotta do

Takes a life to make a life
(Takes a life)
Livin' in the world of crime tonight
(Takes a life)
Can't find a better way to break you
This ain't livin', I gotta do what I gotta do
