Words to My Firstborn Songtext
von 2Pac

Can you picture, young niggaz in a rush to grow
Til hard timers in the pen, had to crush his throat
Probably never even saw it comin - too busy bullshittin′
Caught him with his mouth runnin; ain't this a bitch
They got me twisted in this game
The feds and the punk, po-lice pointin pistols at my brain
I wonder if I′m wrong cause I'm thugged out
My homies murdered execution style runnin in the drug house
What was supposed to be a easy hit - now shit is flipped
Cause niggaz died over bullshit - it's not my dream
I′m seein pictures of a broken man, no witnesses Only the questions of who smoked the man, young adolescents
In our prime live a life of crime, though it ain′t logical
We hobble through these tryin times, livin blind
Lord help me with my troubled soul
Why all my homies had to die 'fore they got to grow?
And right before I put my head on the pillow, say a prayer one love
To the thugs in heaven I′ll see you there
It's written for the young and dumb that wasn′t warned
Help you make it through the storm
My words to my first born, feel me

Cause you know what you had to do
And so did victims of a world they never came to

I understand it's a better day comin
Sometimes cats be sleepin on the dead end


Drivin with the car runnin blinded
I put my head on the pillow, say a prayer one love
To the thugs in heaven I′ll see you there
It's written for the young and dumb that wasn't warned
Help you make it through the storm
My words to my first born

Since my very first day on this earth, I was cursed
So I knew, that the birth of a child would make my life worse
And though it hurt me there was no distortion
Cause wild seeds can′t grow, we need more abortions
Quiet your soul, cause you know what you had to do
And so did victims of a world they never came to
I understand it′s a better day comin
Sometimes cats be sleepin on the dead end
Drivin with the car runnin blinded
Ain't no love in the hood only hearts torn
Love letters to the innocent and unborn
All the babies that died up on the table
Wasn′t able to breathe, cause the family wasn't able
Can′t - blame her I would do the same

All I could give it was my debt and my last name
Cause in the game things change livin up and down
This hard life got me walkin with my head down

Flashin frowns wasn't meant to be, was I wrong?
But I′ll never get to know, so I carry on
It's written for the young and dumb that wasn't born
My words to my first born, feel me

Cause you know what you had to do
And so did victims of a world they never came to
I understand it′s a better day comin
Sometimes cats be sleepin on the dead end
Drivin with the car runnin blinded
I put my head on the pillow, say a prayer one love
To the thugs in heaven I′ll see you there
It's written for the young and dumb that wasn′t warned
Help you make it through the storm
My words to my first born
