[synth voice] Only God can judge me now Only God baby, nobody else, nobody else All you other motherfuckers get out my business
[Verse One: 2Pac]
Perhaps I was blind to the facts, stabbed in the back I couldn´t trust my own homies just a bunch a dirty rats Will I, succeed, paranoid from the weed And hocus pocus try to focus but I can´t see And in my mind I´ma blind man doin time Look to my future cause my past, is all behind me Is it a crime, to fight, for what is mine? Everybody´s dyin tell me what´s the use of tryin I´ve been Trapped since birth, cautious, cause I´m cursed
And fantasies of my family, in a hearse And they say it´s the white man I should fear But, it´s my own kind doin all the killin here I can´t lie, ain´t no love for the other side Jealousy inside, make em wish I died Oh my Lord, tell me what I´m livin for Everybody´s droppin got me knockin on heaven´s door And all my memories, of seein brothers bleed And everybody grieves, but still nobody sees Recollect your thoughts don´t get caught up in the mix Cause the media is full of dirty tricks Only God can judge me
[Chorus: 2Pac]
[synth voice] Only God can judge me
That´s right baby, yeah baby [synth voice] Only God Hahahahahahahaha [synth + Pac] Only God can judge me, only God can judge [synth cont.] me, only God Only God can judge me [synth + Pac] Only God can judge me And only God can [synth voice] Only God can judge me, only God Only God can judge me [synth + Pac] Only God can judge me Only God can judge me [synth voice] Only God can judge me, only God Only God can judge me [synth voice] Only God can judge me now
[heart monitor: long beep]
Flatline!
[Verse Two: 2Pac]
I hear the doctor standing over me [heart monitor: beeping slowly] screamin I can make it Got a body full of bullet holes layin here naked Still I, can´t breathe, somethings evil in my IV Cause everytime I breathe, I think they killin me [beeping sound stops] I´m having nightmares, homicidal fantansies I wake up stranglin, danglin my bed sheets I call the nurse cause it hurts, to reminisce How did it come to this? I wish they didn´t miss Somebody help me, tell me where to go from here Cause even Bloods cry, but do the Lord care? Try to remember, but it hurts
I´m walkin through the cemetary talkin to the, dirt I´d rather die like a man, than live like a coward There´s a ghetto up in Heaven and it´s ours, Black Power is what we scream as we dream in a paranoid state And our fate, is a lifetime of hate Dear Mama, can you save me? And fuck peace Cause the streets got our babies, we gotta eat No more hesitation each and every black male´s trapped And they wonder why we suicidal runnin round strapped Mista, Po-lice, please try to see that it´s a million motherfuckers stressin just like me Only God can judge me
[Chorus w/ variations]
[Interlude: 2Pac]
That which does not kill me can only make me stronger (That´s for real) and I don´t see why everybody feel as though that they gotta tell me how to live my life (You know?) Let me live baby, let me live
[Verse Three: Rappin 4-Tay, Tupac]

Guess you figure you know me cause I´m a Thug That love to hit the late night club, drink then buzz Been livin lavish like a player all day

[Chorus w/ variations]
