2Pac — Lost Souls

[Intro: 2Pac] 'Cause I hate to spend my life, my life, my life, my life Duckin' one-time (lost soul) How it start, how it start? [Verse 1: 2Pac] Started off with runnin' from coppers Duck and hide from helicopters We open fire, who can stop us? Livin' the life of trife juveniles, hopin' for Rikers Gettin' 25 to life if the judge don't like us In my clearest pictures, I see authorities itchin' to get us ATF state Feds, scandalous bitches How was it promised to us, was it bitter or sweet? See, if a nigga don't hustle, then the nigga don't eat On these streets, livin' do or die, circle complete Repetitive motions of felons in a rush for G's Please understand my history, a man of many hats Lived a Thug Life, (Thug Life Baby) Comin' equipped with plenty gats Maybe I was just a lost soul, trapped in time Livin' in between life, in the cracks, but blind Even though we have hope for dreams that never came Yet and still we all feel pain [Hook: 2Pac] Just wait until the rain turn to sunshine ‘Cause I hate to spend my life My life, my life, my life duckin' one-time Stranded in the County in the worst way Hell of a way to spend my 21 birthday Born in the ghetto as a street thug It's for the neighborhood and weed spots that we love Lost souls… lost souls, nigga For my homeboys that passed on Words from the mind of a lost soul Just wait until rain turn to sunshine ‘Cause I hate to spend my life My life, my life, my life duckin' one-time [Verse 2: Young Noble] My brother Sean, first on my list, he stuck with a three-five When he get out, will I be dead or alive? He taught me the rules so much, but still In Thugs I Trust When in danger never hesitate to bust and keep my fuckin' trap shut My mom dukes got a little bit of thug in her The devil loves sinners, crackheads and drug dealers Sometimes I feel like the streets are takin' over Never stayin' sober, the brain over and over Backtrack, my steps that I used to take down New One love to my crew, ay yo, this one's for you [Interlude: 2Pac & Kastro] R.I.P. … rest in peace to Mu grandmother Know what we gotta do, baby, one-time [Hook: 2Pac & E.D.I. Mean] Just wait until the rain turn to sunshine ‘Cause I hate to spend my life My life, my life, my life duckin' one-time Yeah roll wit' a nigga (Where my niggas at?) Roll wit' a nigga Just wait until the rain turn to sunshine (Sunshine) ‘Cause I hate to spend my life My life, my life, my life duckin' one-time! One-time! One-time! One-time! [Verse 3: EDI Mean & 2Pac] I was born 22 years ago yesterday (Happy birthday nigga happy birthday) But see, I saw no reason for me to celebrate Let me demonstrate Entered the world from out a poisonous womb Heroin bein' consumed, already predictin' my doom Soon to be one of the many misguided Always the first one on the block to be done, tried it and liked it Lost before I had a chance to find my way Now I travel through life, not knowin' the time of day Grind for pay, I'm on my way But don't know where I'ma end up I swear to God, this just a set-up And these are the words from the mind of a lost soul [Chorus: 2Pac] Just wait until the rain turn to sunshine ‘Cause I hate to spend my life My life, my life, my life duckin' one-time Yeah, the ballad of the lost souls Just wait until the rain turn to sunshine ‘Cause I hate to spend my life My life, my life, my life duckin' one-time Ballad of the lost souls you know how it is (Ride with me) Just wait until the rain turn to sunshine ‘Cause I hate to spend my life My life, my life, my life duckin' one-time (I feel that shit) Can you feel me nigga? Can you feel me? Just wait until the rain turn to sunshine ‘Cause I hate to spend my life My life, my life, my life duckin' one-time How bout we do one for all the niggas in the pen? Just wait until the rain turn to sunshine ‘Cause I hate to spend my life (Walkin' in the sunshine) My life, my life, my life duckin' one-time One for Mutulu, one for Geronimo (That's right One love) Just wait until the rain turn to sunshine ‘Cause I hate to spend my life (Walkin' in the sunshine) My life, my life, my life duckin' one-time (Killa) All the niggas gettin' beat up by the dogs...[?] (Thug Life) Just wait until the rain turn to sunshine ‘Cause I hate to spend my life (Walkin' in the sunshine) My life, my life, my life duckin' one-time (One time nigga one time nigga) All them niggas gettin' arrested and ain't did shit Just wait until the rain turn to sunshine ‘Cause I hate to spend my life My life, my life, my life duckin' one-time [Outro: 2Pac] All of y'all, keepin' y'all in hell For all of y'all, keepin' y'all in hell Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself For all of y'all, keepin' y'all in hell Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself For all my dogs, keepin' y'all in hell Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself For all my dogs, keepin' y'all in hell Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself For all my dogs, keepin' y'all in hell Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself Throw your hands up!
