I’ve been searchin’ a long time
And I just don’t know
I try to catch solutions
I try to catch the flow
Thoughts running through my mind
Maybe the man in the front
YO! Was the man from behind
Where is the place
Where I don’t have to watch my back?
When I can just go out
Without protecting my sex?
Will it come?
No-one knows
Hey yo! No-one knows
No-one can resist the desire
To escape to paradise
But it seems like there’s nothing else to do
Than dream and fantasize
On and on till the break of dawn…
Oh, oh, oh… yeah, no-one knows
You better recognize
When I pass your way
It’s the techno rap singer
By the name of Ray
Can we compromise
To have a better place?
Can we reach the goal
To have an equal race?
So amazing how things change
But we’re growing up
So it ain’t that strange
The inspiration comes through the nation
Will it last?
No-one knows
No-one can resist the desire
To escape to paradise
But it seems like there’s nothing else to do
Than dream and fantasize
Escape to paradise…
Dream and fantasize…
Yeah…
No-one knows
YO! Will I know
Like Janet Jackson
“That’s the way love goes”?
My mind’s playing tricks
There’s no way out
No-one can hear you
Not even if you shout
I feel the pressure
You cannot measure
Time will tell
Heaven or hell
Now will the world survive nowadays?
No-one knows
No-one knows
No-one can resist the desire
To escape to paradise
But it seems like there’s nothing else to do
Than dream and fantasize
No-one can resist the desire
To escape to paradise
But it seems like there’s nothing else to do
Than dream and fantasize
He, He, He, Hey, No-one knows
He, He, He, Hey, No-one knows
Escape to paradise, yeah
Uh, Uuh, Uuh
No-one can resist the desire
To escape to paradise

(2pac talking)
Heavenly Father
Heal a nigga down here
Who do u believe in who do u believe in
2pac
I see mothers in black crying
Brothers in packs dying
Plus everybodies high
Too doped up to ask whyW
Atching our on downfall
Witness the end, It’s like we don’t believe in Go
DCuz 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 saty high
Explain genocide
Its when we ride on our own kind
What is it we all fear, reflections in the mirror
We can’t escape fateThe end is getting nearer
[Chorus](Repeat 2x)[Tupac]
Who do you believe in?
I put my faith in god, blessed but still breathing
And even though it’s hard
Thats who I believe in, before I’m leaving
The mask and the grieving
Who do you believe in?
[Tupac]
Can’t close my eyez cuz all I see is terror
I hate the man in the mirror
Cuz his perfection 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 hennesey and weed can’t hide
The pain I feel inside
You know its 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 flamesIn my search for fame will I change?
And I’m asking
[Chorus]
[Khadafi]
Faith in Allah, believe in me and its plastic
Cuz so far I done witnessed to many dead niggaz in caskets
With they chest plates stretched like elastic
And whats 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
Deamond 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
(What y’all want?)
Unconditional Love (no doubt)
Talking bout the stuff that don’t wear off
It don’t fade
It’ll last for all these crazy days
These crazy nights
Whether you wrong or you right
I’m a still love you
Still feel you
Still there for you
No matter what (hehe)
You will always be in my heart
With unconditional love
Verse One:
Come listen to my truest thoughts, my truest feelings
All my peers doing years beyond drug dealing
How many caskets can we witness
Before we see it’s hard to live
This life without God, so we must ask forgiveness
Ask mama why God deserved to die
Witness the tears falling free from my eyes
Before she could reply
Though we were born without a silver spoon
My broken down TV, show cartoons in my living room (hey)
One day I hope to make it
A player in this game
Mama don’t cry, long as we try
Maybe things change
Perhaps it’s just a fantasy
A life where we don’t need no welfare
Shit with our whole family
Maybe it’s me that caused it
The fighting and the hurting
In my room crying cause I didn’t want to be a burden
Watch mama open up her arms to hugging
And I ain’t worried bout a damn thang, with unconditionl love
Chorus: 2x
In this game the lesson’s in your eyes to see
Though things change, the future’s still inside of me
We must remember that tomorrow comes after the dark
So you will always be in my heart, with unconditional love
Verse Two:
Just got the message you’ve been calling all week
Been out here hustling on these streets, ain’t had a chance to speak
But you know, with you and me it’s on G
We could never be enemies, cause you been such a good friend to me
Where would I be without my dogs
No wonder why when times get hard
Cause it ain’t easy being who we are
Driven by my ambitions, desire higher positions
So I proceed to make Gs, eternally in my mission
Is to be more than just a rap musician
The elevation of today’s generation
If could make ‘em listen
Prison ain’t what we need, no longer stuck in greed
Time to play and strategize, my family’s gotta eat
When we make somethin out of nothing
No pleasure in the suffering, neighborhood would be good
If they could cut out all the busting
The liquor and the weed the cussing
Sending love out to my block
The struggle never stops (unconditional love)
Chorus
Verse Three:
I’ll probably never understand ya ways
With everyday I swear I hear ya
Trying to change your ways while gettin paid at the same time
Just had a baby with the same eyes
Something inside, please let me die these are strange times
How come I never made it
Maybe it’s the way the played it in my heart
I knew one day I gotta be a star
My hopes and all my wishes
So many vivid pictures, and all the currency
I’ll never even get to see
This fast life soon shatter us
Cause after all the lights and screams
Nothing but my dreams matter
Hoping for better days
Maybe a peaceful night, baby don’t cry
Cause everythang gonna be alright
Just lay your head on my shoulder
Don’t worry bout a thang baby
Girl I’m a soldier (huh)
Never treated me bad, no matter who I was
You still came with that, unconditional love
Chorus 3x until fade
