Thinkin' 'Pac, would you ride with me
Livin' in the world of crime tonight
Livin' in the world of crime tonight
This for all of y'all that keep on raisin' hell
Livin' in the world of crime tonight
It ain't right, what you put your momma through, young G
Can't find a better way to break you
I watch my back twenty-fo' seven
(Takes a life)
Nigga, I hear even the smaller G's be dippin' Chevy Impalas
In time, they grip a nine, sippin' wine, hit grass
Before I toss yo' hoe, it'll cost you mo'
This ain't livin'
Now three for Johnny Law tryin' to make my chips
Keep yo' friends by your side, even close your foes
That's what becomes of lonely children, they turn to G's
(Takes a life)
But I'd give it all up, if it would help you grow
This ain't livin'
Livin' in the world of crime tonight
Put a pistol in your hand and let you fade yourself
Explode on they industry and fade them fools
You can run the red lights but read the street signs, hey
They our seeds and when they bleed, we bleed
Not a threat as I step in blue
(Takes a life)
Livin' in the world of crime tonight
I never pulled the trigger, didn't touch that bitch
'Til I be starin' watch the parents sacrifice they child
"It takes a nation of millions" if we intend to stop the killin'
You know the rules, gotta be a rider
The love's gone, a thug's home, with no love
Feelin' so strong, make young boys into drug lords
I disappeared, reappeared as the, follow me now
Gotta change your life, take the game from me
My homies jealous plus they tell us that the phones is tapped
We feed violence and greed, let 'em bleed tomorrow
Takes a life to make a life
This ain't livin', I gotta do what I gotta do
Takes a life to make a life
This ain't livin', I gotta do what I gotta do
Peep it, gunfire is produced at alarmin' rates
(Takes a life)
Takes a life to make a life
Heavenly father can you rescue, my young nation
Can't find a better way to break you
This ain't livin', I gotta do what I gotta do
This ain't livin', we givin' you jewels, use 'em as tools
Livin' in the world of crime tonight
We swallow tomorrow see, what we leave is hollow
(Takes a life)
Takes a life to make a life
This ain't livin', it's similar to prison, we trapped
(Takes a life)
Can't find a better way to break you
Stuck in the pen, doin' life plus ten
(Takes a life)
(Takes a life)
Can't find a better way to break you
This ain't livin', I gotta do what I gotta do
And check those that oppose when I froze them fools
Today's youth, grip the shit, get in the car and break
And who are you to watch me fall farther
(Takes a life)
And never let a busta send a G to ghetto heaven, you know!
Let's go see what our enemies talkin' 'bout
I do shows, make a lot of dough, murder my foes
(Takes a life)
While flossin' they gold D's, O.G.'s, is who they follow
Can't find a better way to break you
Skippin' class, and livin fast, will get yo' ass
Now one for adolescents, now dos for dose
Won't ya soak up some game from yo' big homies
Throw yo' hands in the air, it's a robbery
This is how it goes when we floss with foes
Young brother pump yo' brakes for me, before you choke
Takes a life to make a life
Just search your feelings, participate in some [Incomprehensible]
(Takes a life)
(Takes a life)
Rest the Lord will protect you, respect due
When G's enter the house nobody's walkin' out
Takes a life to make a life
This ain't livin', I gotta do what I gotta do
Can't find a better way to break you
