(feat. 2Pac)

[Ja Rule]

Rest in peace to my nigga Stretch, my nigga 'Pac

So much pain



Uhh.. yeah, huh, yeah

All my, niggas.. so much pain

Uhh.. huh, yeah

Yeah, so.. much..



Ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhhh

Ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhhh



[Ja Rule]

They'll never take me alive, I'm gettin high with my fo'-five

Cocked on these niggaz time to die

Even as a lil' nigga, you could picture me hot gun in the rain

I shed the tear, cause this nigga here inherits the pain

And now I'm labeled as a thug nigga - you know the game

Smokin weed, fuckin hoes, slangin thangs, that's the life I live

Even if I tried to go back I'd get lost (come back)

And everything I seem to love I done lost

Fuck the world if they can't understand me

What else could I do? I had to feed my fuckin family

Yo' lies is my truth, so I'm a drug to your youth

And you don't want 'em nowhere near me, now that they can hear me

I spits razors, never been a stranger to homicide

My city's full of tote-slangers and chalk lines

Why do we die at an early age?

Nigga so young, but still a victim of a twelve-gauge

Feel the rage this world has bestowed upon me

And I don't give a fuck 'cause they don't give a fuck 'bout me

So I keep - drinkin Hennessy, bustin at my enemies

Will I live to see twenty-three? There's so much pain



[Chorus]

Ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhhh

I'm tired of the strain and the pain (so much pain)

Ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhhh

I'm tired of the strain and the pain



[Ja Rule]

Years and years of strugglin all my life

Runnin wild as a kid, grew up blazin 'em right

I'
