16 On Death Row (Explicit) - 2Pac (图派克)

Death Row that's where mothaf**kas is endin' up

Dear mama I'm caught up in this sickness

I robbed my adversaries but slipped and left a witness

Wonder if they'll catch me or will this ni**a snitch

Should I shoot his b**ch or make the ni**a rich

Don't wanna commit murder but damn they got me trapped

Hawkin' while I'm walkin' and talkin' behind my back

I'm kind of schizophrenic I'm in this sh*t to win it

'Cause life's a wheel of fortune here's my chance to

Spin it

Got no time for cops who trip and try to

Catch me

Too f**kin' trigger happy to let them suckers snatch me

Niggas gettin' jealous jealous tryin' to find my stash

Whip out the 9 now i'm a dump pump your a**

Peter picked a pepper but I can pick a punk

Snatched him like a b**ch and threw him in the

Trunk

The punk thought I was bluffin' but swear I'm nothin'

Nice

Before I take your life first wrestle with these mites

I listened to his screams until he went insane

I guess the little mites had finally found his brain

New rovers pull me over I'm sentenced to the pen

Remember that little bird he snitched and told a friend

It's trouble on my mind I'm with the old timers

And f**k five 0 blaow blaow turn 'em into forty niners

Bye bye I was never meant to live

Can't be positive when the ghetto's where you live that's why

Bye bye I was never meant to be

Livin' like a thief runnin' through the streets that's why

Bye bye and I got no place to go to go to go

Where they find me 16 on death row

Dear mama these cops don't understand me

I turned to a life of crime 'cause I came

From a broken family

My uncle used to touch me I never told you

That

Scared what you might do I couldn't hold you back

I kept it deep inside I done let it fuel

My anger

I'm down for all my homies no mercy for a

Stranger

The brother in my cell is 16 as well

It's hard to adapt when you're black

And you're trapped in a living hell

I shouldn't have let him catch me

Instead of livin' sad in jail I could've died free

And happy happy

And my cellmate's raped on the norm

And passed around the dorm

You can hear his asshole gettin' torn

They made me an animal can't sleep

Instead of countin' sheep niggas countin' cannibals cannibals

And that's how it is in the pen

Turn old and cold and your soul is your best

Friend

My mama pray for me tell the lord to make

Way for me

Prepare any day for me why

'Cause when they come for me they find a struggler

To the death I take the breath from your jugular

The trick is to never lose hope

I found my buddy hangin' dead from a rope 16

On death row

Bye bye I was never meant to live

Can't be positive when the ghetto's where you live that's why

Bye bye I was never meant to be

Livin' like a thief runnin' through the streets

Bye bye and I got no place to go

Where they find me 16 on death row

Dear mama they sentenced me to death

Today's my final day I'm countin' every breath

I'm bitter 'cause I'm dying so much I haven't seen

I know you never dreamed your baby would be dead

At 16

I got beef with a sick society

That doesn't give a sh*t

And they too quick to say goodbye to me

They tell me the preacher's there for me

He's a crook with a book

That mothaf**ka never cared for me

He's only here to be sure I don't drop a

Dime to god

About the crimes he's committin' on the poor

And how can these people judge me

They ain't my peers and in all these years

They ain't never love me

I never got to be a man must be part

Of some big plan

To keep a ni**a in the state pen

And to my homies out buryin' mothaf**kas

Steer clear of these aryan mothaf**kas

'Cause once they got you locked up

They got you trapped you're better off gettin' shot up

I'm convinced self defense is the way

Please stay strapped pack a gat every day every day

Every day

I wish I would've known while I was out there

Now I'm straight headin' for the chair

Bye bye I was never meant to live

Can't be positive when the ghetto's where you live they say

Bye bye I was never meant to be

Livin' like a thief runnin' through the streets that's why

Bye bye and I got no place to go to go to go

Where they find me 16 on death row

Death row

Death row

Death row

16 on death row death row

Death row death row

It's to all my partners

In the penitentiaries ah 16 on death row

Death row

Death row

Death row
