Tattoo Tears Lyrics - Still I Rise (with Outlawz) - 2pac

Live back at 'cha, Westside baby 

Aight, fuck it, we gone flip some new shit now 

Heard 'All Eyez on Me', niggaz know what time it is 

'Pac do it like that, rhymin' and stealin', sellin' five million 

Fresh out on bail, niggaz still can't see me 

That's how it is 

Now we got a new motherfuckin' plan and a new mission 

Competition, so they say, these niggaz is gay 

Blast me? It could never happen 

At least not while I'm walkin' and rappin' 

Heard of some niggaz on the other side of town 

Who wanna ride wit me 

They can't hide, listen to the rough shit, my click

Watch Will Smith perform to iconic song 'Prince Ali' from Aladdin 

I said it many times, busters still can't see 

Y'all niggaz can't fuck with me 

I been handlin' stress in this shit for years 

Blazed out sheddin' tattoo tears 

Now I said it many times, busters still can't see 

Y'all niggaz can't fuck with me 

I been handlin' stress in this shit for years 

Blazed out sheddin' tattoo tears 

Now rock-a-bye baby, I'm thugged out and so crazy 

Don't wanna hurt a soul nigga, so don't make me 

I got a dream to see my whole team in Lexus Coupes 

My enemies dead and buried, now the stress is through 

But that's a dream, though it seems like reality 

There'll never be peace long as there's fiends on these Cali streets 

Even on the other side brothers die, but ride 

Niggaz get high off a slow form of suicide 

Photos 

Hide the closest thoughts, the war is fought as casualties 

I live my life to fuckin mo', exposin' tragically 

How can we find some peace and niggaz still ain't get a piece 

I know I'm probably hell bound, but we got to eat 

I'm seein' Satan infiltratin' my military mind 

Make me hustle all the time, go out for cash makin' 

Forgive my adversaries, they don't understand what we go through 

To become a man, we sheddin' tattoo tears 

I said it many times, busters still can't see 

Y'all niggaz can't fuck with me 

I been handlin' stress in this shit for years 

Blazed out sheddin' tattoo tears 

I said it many times busters still can't see 

Y'all niggaz can't fuck with me 

I been handlin' stress in this shit for years 

Blazed out sheddin' tattoo tears 

We don't shed tears, we shed blood 

Do you still wanna be a thug? Huh? What? 

We don't shed tears, we shed blood 

Do you still wanna be a thug? 

Yo, criminal ways of thinkin' made me crave Ab Lincolns 

The days I spent stinkin', caught victims on the weekends 

Seekin' a better path, expose a better half of me 

Blast for me, the task after me 

For a few years sheddin' tattoo tears 

Like Gram' Sammy, we feudin' for the whole damn family 

We scarred up, homies is barred up for mad time 

Outlawz locked down for some past crimes 

Fast dimes made my stash grow smaller 

Your block ain't no harder, fake baller 

Nigga, it's like this, I been thuggin' just for the cause of it 

Out to get all of it, but I'll never lose my balls and shit 

And it's all for the pressure 

That'll make me cock my shit up off the dresser 

Made nigga mafia, of course my niggas gonna test ya 

Answers to the questions, bullets to my Smith N' Wesson 

Still stucked up in a fuck session, Jersey where the niggaz flexin' 

Po po's guessin' if the stolen car gonna do a drive-by 

Wet 'em up from his shoulders, leave him bye bye 

Now mama cry cry, but it ain't my time to either die die 

So ask me why why, but I feel that God owe me my life 

For the things he did, but I turn my pleasure into sin 

Blazed out sheddin' tattoo tears 

I said it many times, busters still can't see 

Y'all niggaz can't fuck with me 

I been handlin' stress in this shit for years 

Blazed out sheddin' tattoo tears 

I said it many times, busters still can't see 

Y'all niggaz can't fuck with me 

I been handlin' stress in this shit for years 

Blazed out sheddin' tattoo tears 

Shit, ain't no unity in my community, it's do or die 

Seein' my opportunities through these bars of hell while gettin' high 

As life replays like time under handed schemes 

To get that cream and things while livin' this life of crime 

My enemies want me squeezed 

They get dumped like 3's with 57 ways to hit they knees 

Please beware, we thugs revolution size 

Criminals dare be last mental me institutionalize 

Locked down, got many shell shocked now 

Holdin' down fort like I'm stuck in court cell block style 

Yo I been loosin' sleep, stay awake way past late 

Visions of killers en masse at the blast, mayne 

As I lay here gatted down and tatted 

Knowin' now it's hard to slow down for a addict 

It's been years of stugglin', guzzlin' beers 

Beefin' and never even, ain't no love in the air 

And I suffer my shit in hell, talkin' to the heavens 

Walkin' through the valley of death with my fellas 

I lost a lot, startin' with hope I tried 

And for every tattoo, I got a moment I cried 

I'm through with the lies, the two in my eyes yell pain 

Step in my shoes, nuttin' to lose but my brain 

I'ma hold it down tho' with all the struggle to bear 

Ain't nothin' to fear cryin' these tattoo tears 

I been handlin' stress in this shit for years 

Blazed out sheddin' tattoo tears 

And I said it many times, busters still can't see 

Y'all niggaz can't fuck with me 

I been handlin' stress in this shit for years 

Blazed out sheddin' tattoo tears, baby 

I said it many times, busters still can't see 

Y'all niggaz can't fuck with me 

I been, handlin' stress in this shit for years 

Blazed out sheddin' tattoo tears
