[Intro]

Let us pray

Heavenly Father

Hear a nigga down here

Before I go to sleep

Tell me, who do you believe in?

Who do you believe in?



[2Pac]

I see mothers in black crying

Brothers in packs dying

Plus everybodies high

Too doped up to ask why

Watching our on downfall, witness the end

It's like we don't believe in God

Cuz we living in sin

I asked my homie on the block

Why he strapped, he laughed

Pointed his pistol as the cop car passed and blasted

It's just another murder

Nobody mourns no more

My tear drops getting bigger

But can't figure what I'm crying for

Is it the miniature caskets, little babies

Victims of a stray, from drug dealers gone crazy

Maybe its just the drugs

Visions of how the block was

Crack came and it was strange how it rocked us

Perhaps the underlying fact stay high

Explain genocide

It's when we ride on our own kind

What is it we all fear, reflections in the mirror

We can't escape fate

The end is getting nearer



1 - [2Pac]

Who do you believe in?

I put my faith in God

Blessed and still breathing

And even though it's hard

That's who I believe in

Before I'm leaving, I'm askin' the grieving

Who do you believe in?



Repeat 1



[2Pac]

Can't close my eyes cuz all I see is terror

I hate the man in the mirror

Cuz his reflection makes the pain turn realer

Times of armageddon, murder in mass amounts

In this society where only getting the cash counts

I started out as a beginner

Entered the criminal lifestyle became a sinner

I make my money and vacate, evade prison

Went from the chosen one to outcast, unforgiven

And all the hennessy and weed can't hide

The pain I feel inside

You know it's like I'm living just to die

I fall on my knees and beg for mercy

Not knowing if I'm worthy

Living life thinking no man can hurt me

So I'm asking, before I lay me down to sleep

Before you judge me, look at all the shit you did to me

My misery, I rose up from the slums

Made it out the flames

In my search for fame will I change?

And I'm asking



Repeat 1

Repeat 1



[Kadafi]

Faith in Allah, believe in me, and it's plastic

Cuz so far I done witnessed to many dead niggas in caskets

With they chest plates stretched like elastic

And what's worse I'm on front line

Holding down, camps still mashing

Heard my cousin one of the old heads from the block

Just came home October of 95

Back in Yardsville, stuck with a three to five

If he don't act up, now he realize

If you don't stay wise, then in this game you fucked

Talk to my baby girl

Give me the word on what she heard

One of the grimmies is snitching

Diamond a stool pigeon

I taked to him, he said he didn't

My man said he did, in fact he sure

Cuz he just came home off bail



Repeat 1

Repeat 1



Who do you believe in?

Is it Buddah, Jahova

Or Jah? Or Allah?

Is it Jesus? Is it God?

Or is just yourself?

Definately not to be imposed

Cuz this is the joy of the movement

Men, to believe in yourselves

But for sure, the higher power

Resides only to ride through the hearts of the true

>From the soul of the man

For truth never has an alibi

In the poetry or in this round

That's what pulls our words together

Just to understand that every man is his own man

And only man can satisfy the man

Only the soul of the man

The feelings of the man

The for realness of the man

You can't shake the man when you feel the man

You know the man

And you gotta call yourself because you are that man



[Female singing] (2Pac)

Who do you believe in (I put my faith in God)

Put my faith in God, and

Blessed and still breathing

Even though it's hard (who do you believe in?)

That's who I believe in

Before I'm leaving

I'm asking the grieving (who do you believe in?)

Who do you believe in?

Who do you? (blessed and still breathing)

Oh, blessed (before I'm leaving, I'm asking the grieving)

Oh, blessed (who do you believe in?)

Yeah yeah



Repeat 1



[2Pac]

That's who I believe in

Before I'm leaving, I'm asking the grieving

Who do you believe in?

Who do you believe in?

Blessed and still breathing

That's who I believe in

Before I'm leaving, I'm asking the grieving

Who do you believe in?



Who do you believe in? [echoes]
