Pac's Life (Yeah, uh huh)
Everybody✦ talk about✦ Pac's Life (And you ain't even✦ know the homie)
But what do you know about✦ Pac's Life? (What you know about✦ Pac's Life?) Yeah
Everybody✦ talk about✦ Pac's Life (Outlaw,✦ Outlaw,✦ yeah)
[Verse 2: Snoop Dogg]
When we first hung out together,✦ I met you with the homie
We had no intentions of becoming homies✦
But at no time at all, you became✦ my dog
You showed✦ me how to roll blunts, we used✦ to bounce and ball
I was living✦ on Wilshire in the penthouse suites✦
Had my lil' cousin✦ Daz hook you up with some beats
It was Outlaw,✦ Dogg Pound, Death Row Records, man we tore up the town
Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre and now we got Pac, it felt like a drizzeam✦
Remember when I told Suge to put you on the tizzeam✦
And you know that I was true
Cause I took the focus off of me to put 'All Eyez On you'
And we became✦ the most hunted✦ together,✦ '2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted'✦
And our relationship was genuwine
Wanna✦ know how I know about✦ Pac's Life? Cuz was a friend of mine
[Hook: Chris Starr & (Snoop Dogg)]
Pac's Life (Yeah, uh huh)
Everybody✦ talk about✦ Pac's Life (And you ain't even✦ know the homie)
But what do you know about✦ Pac's Life? (What you know about✦ Pac's Life?) Yeah
Everybody✦ talk about✦ Pac's Life (Outlaw,✦ Outlaw,✦ yeah)
[Verse 3: T.I.]
Ey, what's happenin Pac' yeah I know we never✦ got to meet
But we know all the same people so we got the speed
You taught me first -- fate nigga✦ can't stop a G
And all that shit you went through meant alot✦ to me
Watchin you lockin✦ up with him, was a shame to see
You know crack in the business did the same thing to me
I get along with real niggas,✦ it's a lane to be
Talkin'✦ loud outta✦ pocket✦ tryna✦ bang wit' me
Well so I'm pullin'✦ out my pocket,✦ let it rain ya' see
Now they all in the court room, blamin'✦ me
Power✦ to the real nigga✦ and death to the sucker✦
Money✦ over✦ bitches get to know em' before✦ you love em'
Death before✦ dishonor never✦ talk to army✦ trouble
Live by the same rules,✦ so my wrist's tattooed
With the same sorta'✦ dude, with the same short fuse
[Hook: Chris Starr & (Snoop Dogg)]
Pac's Life (Yeah, uh huh)
Everybody✦ talk about✦ Pac's Life (And you ain't even✦ know the homie)
(Why y'all niggas✦ all up in my shit?)
But what do you know about✦ Pac's Life? (What you know about✦ Pac's Life?) Yeah
Everybody✦ talk about✦ Pac's Life (Outlaw,✦ Outlaw,✦ yeah)
