Tupac - Who Do You Believe In? (Original)

[Intro: 2Pac]
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?

[Verse One: 2Pac]
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

[Chorus 2X: 2Pac]
Who do you believe in?
I put my faith in God, blessed and still breathin
And even though it's hard, that's who I believe in
Before I'm leavin, I'm askin the grievin - who do you believe in?

[Verse Two: 2Pac]
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

[Chorus]

[Verse Three: Kadafi]
Faith in Allah, believe in me and this plastic
Cause so far I done witnessed to many dead niggaz in caskets
With they chest plates stretched like elastic
And what's worse I'm on front line, holdin down camp, still mashin
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 snitchin, Diamond a stool pigeon I talked to him
He said he didn't, my man said he did, in fact he's sure
Cause he just came home off of bail

[2Pac] Now tell me
[2Pac]
Who do you believe in?
I put my faith in God, blessed and still breathin

[singing while 2Pac speaks]
Who do you believe in? Put my faith in God, and
Blessed and still breathin

[singer + (2Pac)]
Even though it's hard (Who do you believe in?)
That's who I believe in (Put my faith in God)
Before I'm leavin (Even though it's hard)
I'm askin the grievin
(Before I'm leavin I'm askin the grievin - who do you believe in?)
Who do you believe in? (Who do you believe in?)
Who do you (Blessed and still breathin)
Oh blessed, oh blessed
(Before I'm leavin I'm askin the grievin - who do you believe in?)

[singer]
Oh who do you
Do you believe in
Hohhhhh-ohhhhh

[2Pac over singer]
Who do you believe in?
I put my faith in God, blessed and still breathin
And even though it's hard, that's who I believe in
Before I'm leavin I'm askin the grievin - who do you believe in?

[singer + (2Pac)]
I'm askin (Who do you believe in?)
I'm askin you (Put my faith in God)
(That's who I believe in)
(Before I'm leavin I'm askin the grievin - who do you believe in?)

[2Pac]
Who do you believe in?
I'm blessed and still breathin
That's who I believe in
Before I'm leavin, I'm askin the grievin
Who do you believe in?
Who do you believe in? [echoes to fade]

Who ever agrees with me, We STILL listen to Tupac as in 2012! Thats why HES A LEGEND. Like what Big Syke said, the only way for someone to be like TUPAC is to die right before you get to the point that you reach SUCCESS... Thats why Tupac will never be forgotten. His music is just amazing.

There will never be another TUPAC.

@CenturysSamurai Thank you for responding to my comment!You have that right to believe in science& I respect what you believe in,but for me I can only speak on what I know about what GOD has done for me in my life!In 2wks I will be sober from alcohol for 16yrs,He save me from 2car accidents,had a seizure in 1of them,had a1250 blood sugar level from diabetes!8yrs no diabetes,7yrs no seizures!Yesterday my Grandfather past,but I still TRUST GOD!I pray that you get to know HIM like I do!GOD IS REAL!

[jennyloso]

Why can't people just enjoy his music instead of trying to figure out some extra shit ..

[AxtoxthexJ]

@CenturysSamurai science is it self is not someone or something.. and it cant even be explained by it self (science) it doesn't exist its just a bunch of theories and and ideas and Assumptions combined to study (explain) testable things its not a matter its made up so how you gonna have faith in it while atheism is what you call((lack of faith)) its like saying i believe math or the Ruler,but i do believe in science myself but such knowledge it does not prevent me in believing in god

[doobcho]

@tiearmy7 nobody says that i think ...

[videomaker74]

was this song made when pac was alive no that it matters cus its gr8 im just wondering

[tiearmy7]

and some people say pac isnt lyrical...please

[TacticalDubstep]

@PUB1able Exactly, He Lived As A True Person And Died As A Legend. He Won't Be Forgotten , Lets Say Some Other Media Rapper Makes Music And Dies, No One Really Remember Him In 15 Years, Unless You Did Something Great, But Tupac And his Music Helped People go through Rough Times, And He WANTED To Change The World. I Give Huge Respect For That!

[PUB1able]

@TacticalDubstep I watched the interview when I seen your comment and true story you would have to be at your peak...meaning at the height of your career you would have to die to even be compared to Pac.

[TacticalDubstep]

@PUB1able Well Actually All The Money He Had Was From Deathrow , They Stole From Tupac, He Wasn't Really Rich.Everything Was Owned By Deathrow, Annd I Agree With You , He Had A Short Career And Did Everything That A Long Lasting Rapper Would Of Achieved .

[PUB1able]

@TacticalDubstep He was already successful clearly he was a self made millionaire.....he just didn't become successful with his plan of trying to change the world and no one ever will because people are already brainwashed to the point of no return..he sold 6 mill BEFORE he died did movies before he died etc...don't know what you call success but he did more than a person who has had a LONG career...LL COOL J!!!
