[2Pac]

How long will they mourn me?

Yeah! This for my nigga Kastro, it's still on nigga - believe that

We live a Thug Life, Thugs for Life, ha ha

(How long will they mourn me?) We handle this shit for you bwoy

Yeah nigga.. Tupac in this motherfucker



All my homies drinkin liquor, tears in everybody's eyes

Niggaz cried, to mourn a homie's homicide

But I can't cry, instead I'm just a shoulder

Damn, why they take another soldier?

I load my clip before my eyes blurry, don't worry

I'll get them suckers back before your buried (shit)

Retaliate and pull a one-eight-seven

Do real niggaz get to go to heaven?

How long will they mourn me? Bury me a motherfuckin G

Bitch don't wanna die; then, don't fuck with me

It's kinda hard to be optimistic

When your homie's lyin dead on the pavement twisted

Y'all don't hear me doe, I'm tryin hard to make amends

But I'm losin all my motherfuckin friends.. damn!

They should've shot me when I was born

Now I'm trapped in the motherfuckin storm

How long will they mourn me?



[Chorus: Nate Dogg 2Pac]

[Nate] I wish it would have been another

[2Pac] How long will they mourn me?

[Nate] How long.. will they mourn.. my brother

(Half them niggaz all dead and shit)

[2Pac] How long will they mourn me?

[Nate] I wish it would have been another

(Dedicated this to Kato nigga, and e'ry thug)

[2Pac] How long will they mourn me?

[Nate] How long.. will they mourn.. my brother

(Yo nigga, we gotta keep this shit goin on, yo Syke)



[Big Syke]

How long will they mourn me? Every motherfuckin day homie

You stayed down when the other niggaz didn't know me

From my heart to the trigger you my fuckin nig
