In the beginning there was confrontations in these streets
Cause these police beat us
We tired of runnin` fuck peace
Young brothers born to fail, skippin` bail, helluva start
Could it be them, bitches was hatin` `cause our skin was too dark?
Handed down his sentence, he got no reason to live
A 25-to-life nigga never knowin` his kids
That`s how they do it to us, it seem we caught in between
Another one, wastin` away for what he did in his teens
Life is hard, situation on these streets is critical
Everybody chasin` dough, if them ain`t your folks, then here we go
If we ridin`, then let`s ride, do-or-die, homicide
But tell me the reason for lost lives
Could it be we all caught up in a scandalous system?
Fallin` through the cracks, blinded by the lies we given
Seen these G`s on these streets bleed freely but why?
It seem too many of us born to die
But life goes on, and on situation in time
How many lost souls molded by a criminal mind?
From the Bay in California to the streets of the east
Can`t be no justice without no peace, believe
Life Goes On
No matter what they say or do, I ain`t never givin` up on you
I won`t doubt ya baby, won`t doubt ya baby
And no matter I`ma keep it true, and together we gon` make it through
I`m about ya baby, ain`t livin` without ya baby
A ruthless cycle of thugs, coppers, drugs, heliocopters, blood, spitting choppers, slugs
Who could stop to love this lifestyle juveniles embracin`?
I`m lacin` adolescents with lessons no one could beat the cases
I`m chasin`, my competitors, no need for a spot
Conversation keep these cowards off my stick when I bust
Forget Versache-watchy Cartier playas, I`m still the same
But I can`t condone the phony `cause I`m prone to be me
Now what you sayin` huh? Life Goes on
From the Atlantic to the Bay, what? Life Goes on
To all my people gettin` paid, huh? Life Goes on
Never forgettin` where you came from, Life Goes on, fa` sho
Now keep on strivin` and survivin` don`t let life get down on you
Forget these haters that betray mistakin` kindness for a fool
Keep your head up, don`t get fed up, keep on doin` what you do
For all true players in this game of life you got to know the rules, true
But Life Goes On
No matter what they say or do, I ain`t never givin` up on you
I won`t doubt ya baby, won`t doubt ya baby
And no matter I`ma keep it true, and together we gon` make it through
I`m about ya baby, ain`t livin` without ya baby
No matter what they say or do, I ain`t never givin` up on you
I won`t doubt ya baby, won`t doubt ya baby
And no matter I`ma keep it true, and together we gon` make it through
I`m about ya baby, ain`t livin` without ya baby
Don`t stop, don`t stop movin` on up 8x
Now that`s one too many times more than three had to die 45`s got to spittin
6:30 was the time, 7 years gone by, 8 of us done been deceased
9 times outta 10 somebody bleedin` in these streets
Tell me what`s the reason? Trial date`s the 10th
These juveniles in wild life smile upon your death
Went from kids to killas, fun lovin` to felonies could it be
We self-destructin` in this rush for the cheese?
Everybody in this world gone crazy
See money and murder be the measure of a man everyday
Separate from the fake, break bustas for how they livin
`Cause some takin` better care of their cars then of their kids
And it still seem we caught up in a scandalous system
Fallin` through the cracks, blinded by the lies we given
Seen these G`s on these streets bleed freely but why?
It seem too many of us born to die
But Life Goes On
No matter what they say or do, I ain`t never givin` up on you
I won`t doubt ya baby, won`t doubt ya baby
And no matter I`ma keep it true, and together we gon` make it through
I`m about ya baby, ain`t livin` without ya baby
No matter what they say or do, I ain`t never givin` up on you
I won`t doubt ya baby, won`t doubt ya baby
And no matter I`ma keep it true, and together we gon` make it through
I`m about ya baby, ain`t livin` without ya baby
Don`t stop, don`t stop movin` on up {*8X*}
