2Pac ft. Tim Booth - Through This Light (DJ Billy)

Its my favourite track from BK Mixes 4. (DJ Billy's album)
You can found the download link at bk7fly's (DJ Billy) page!

"This is the biggest part of the album. Not from the point of being your favorite track but considering the lyrics and the story behind it. The previous song prepared you in a way for this by asking you have you passed through this light? and now I wonder if you will feel this one. This was hard to make and complete, I wanted it to be perfect. I hope you love it. Its the whole meaning of that concert I got to watch that night and the whole aspect of Tim Booth (James). A big thanks goes to him about his contribution in music. Expect an album with just Pac and Tim."

Lyrics:

I see mothers in black cryin, brothers in packs dyin
Plus everybody's high, too doped up to ask why
Watchin our own downfall, witness the end
It's like we don't believe in God cause we livin in sin
I asked my homie on the block why he strapped, he laughed
Pointed his pistol as the cop car passed and blast
It's just another murder, nobody mourns no more
My tear drops gettin bigger but can't figure what I'm cryin for
Is it the miniature caskets, little babies
Victims of a stray, from drug dealers gone crazy
Maybe it's just the drugs, visions of how the block was
Crack came and it was strange how it rocked us
Perhaps the underlyin fact they hide 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 gettin nearer

Can't close my eyes cause all I see is terror
I hate the man in the mirror
Cause his reflection makes the pain turn realer
Times of Armageddeon, murder in mass amounts
In this society where only gettin 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 livin just to die
I fall on my knees and beg for mercy, not knowin if I'm worthy
Livin life thinkin no man can hurt me
So I'm askin -- 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? I'm askin
