Who Do You Believe In Lyrics - 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? 

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

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

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

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 stay high 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 

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? 

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? 

Photos 

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 Hennessey 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' 

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? 

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? 

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 

Now tell me 

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? 

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? 

Who do you believe in? 

Is it Budda, Jehovah, or Jah? Or Allah? 

Is it Jesus? Is it God? Or is just yourself? 

Definitely not to be imposed being a demon 

Because this is the joy of believing 

Men to believe in yourselves 

But for sure, the higher power 

Resides only to ride in the heart of the true 

From the soul of the man, for truth never has an alibi 

In the poetry or in it's realm 

That's what pulls all words together 

Just to understand, that every man, is his own man 

And only man can satisfy the man 

Only the soul of the man, the feelings of the man 

The for realness of the man 

You can't shake the man when you feel the man you know the man 

And you gotta call yourself because you are that man 

Who do you believe in? 

I put my faith in God, blessed and still breathin' 

(Who do you believe in? Put my faith in God and 

Blessed and still breathin') 

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?) 

Oh who do you 

Do you believe in 

Oh, oh 

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? 

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?) 

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?
