One of my fav. Pac verses...

[ArtsyGirl]

I havent listened to my Thug Life album in a while but the other day it came on a tape I had in the car. When Under Pressure came on it reminded me of how much I love the song and especially the second verse:

yeah, look here tho

Runnin wild
I never smiled as a juvenile
even now I keep a frown when I come around
don't ask me about tha past
it was all bad
shots blasted
will I last
in tha wrong path
in tha dark is where my heart saw tha most grief
mothafuckers is getten shanked over gold teeth
am I sick ?
cause i'm addicted to get splifted
watch tha stupid ass tricks get lifted
nothens changed
cause in tha game it's a steady aim
fuck friends
cause when in danger those niggas change
puff weed
and stuff G's in my sock G
call Ki's and Hennessy where tha glock be
Times passen will I last here another day
I put my gun away
and grab my AK
it's getten hectic
I can't call it
house full of alcoholics
now we're niggas under pressure

yeah, that's right...
Under Pressure, we're niggas under pressure

I think Pac's flow in this song is incredible and the shit his saying hits a spot, anyone else love this verse?

 

[Mongol]

Great track! snoop even said its his favorite pac song!

 

[imported_Sun_Tzu]

yeah i love Under Pressure but kinda skip it when it gets the last part where the chrous is said 10 times

 

[Ma5t3rM|nD]

i also love pour out a lil liquor & how long will they mourn me from thug life ..
"I started young kickin dust and living rough
You watch you mouth around my mama you couldn't cuss man
I had a down ass homie, though
We ran the streets
And on the scene at the age of fourteen, huh?
I packed a nine and my nigga packed a 45
We're drinking forties, lil' shorties living naughty lives
You couldn't stop us, long as I got my glock, fuck the coppers
Hanging on the block, slanging rocks and making profits
I couldn't fuck with the school life, I was a fool
I'll play that motherfucker for a tool, man
Tonight'll be the night that's what we figuring
Hustling in the rain felt no pain 'cause we're drinking
Playing them hoes like we knew em
First let my nigga fuck and then I fuck that's how we do it (laughs)
It's two niggas coming up out the hood
Living life just as good as we could
But since a bitch can't be trusted
Hoes snitched to the police, now my nigga's busted
The cops whooping on my nigga in jail
Trying to get a motherfucker to tell
And couldn't nobody dis my nigga
Damn, I miss my nigga
Pour out a little liquor"

"Drinking on gin, smoking on blunts and it's on
Reminisce about my niggas, that's dead and gone
And now they're buried, sometimes my eyes still get blurry
'Cause I'm losing all my homies and I worry
I've got my back against a brick wall, trapped in a circle
Boxing with them suckers till my knuckles turn purple
Mama told me, son, there'll be days like this
Don't wanna think so
I hit the drink and stay blitzed
We had plans of being big time G:s
Rolling in marked cars, moving them keys
And now I roll up the window, blaze up some indo
Get toe down for my niggas in the pen, yo
Your son's getting big and strong
And I'd love him like one of my own, till you come home
And the years sure fly with the quickness
You do the time and I'll keep handlin your business
That's the way it's supposed to be
Homie, if it was me, you'd do the shit for me
Homie, I can remember scraping back to back
Throwing dogs on them suckers running up on this young hog
I hope my words can paint a perfect picture
And let you know how much a nigga miss ya
Pour out some liquor"

"All my homies drinking liquor
Tears in everybody's eyes
Niggas cried to mourn a homies homicide
But I can't cry
instead I'm just a shoulder
Damn, why they take another soldier
I load my clip before my eyes blurry, don't worry
I'll get them suckas back before your buried (shit)
Retaliate and pull a 187
do real niggas get to go to heaven ?
How long will they mourn me, bury me a muthafuckin 'G'
Bitch don't wanna die
then don't fuck with me
It's kinda hard to be optimistic
When your homies lying dead on the pavement twisted
Y'all don't hear me doe, I'm trying hard to make amends
But I'm losing all my muthafuckin friends (damn)
They should've shot me when I was born
Now I'm trapped in the muthafuckin' storm
How long will they mourn me ?"

all perfect examples why 2pac was a legend

 

[RaDeK]

yep thats a good verse, i also think his second verse in Pain is classic

 

[imported_Sun_Tzu]

oh hell yeha How Long will They Mourn me will always be one of my favorite songs cuz everybody does a good job on that song.

Yeah, they played the beat for that in the Resurrection trailer, and I couldn't remember what it was from at first, cause I hadn't listened to that album for a while, and it never really stuck out before. But then I listened to it a few times and realized how good it is. One of my favorites now.

 

[imported_MAKaveli_10]

Thug Life was a great album. I love it.

 

[ArtsyGirl]

Yeah there are so many classic songs on Thug Life its like my 2nd or 3rd fav Pac album

 

[xXHizzo.M40Xx]

i havent heard many people talk about the song "Hold on be strong"... its not one of pac's popular ones... but i dont know why, but i really like it.... maybe because i can relate to some lyrics... but i love this song...


i want to get the billie holiday (if thats how u spell it) line "God bless the child that can be strong" that Pac uses in his lil speech at the end tatooed on my back... but i dunno yet

I think its maybe because the beat doesnt really match the lyrics too much, or atleast in my opinion. LM45Z did a tight remix of it, and it sounds alot more emotional.

[haunted]

Im trying to find it right now.

 

[ArtsyGirl]

Yeah I love hold on be strong too, very emotional song.

 

[Bender]

Under Pressure = my favourite track on THUG LIFE :thumb:

Then, Cradle to the Grave.

 

[ApacalypseNow]

I love all Pac's thug Life era tracks

 

[Buyaka]

Its a classic verse, just like the Deadly Combination (Feat. BIG L) verse he spits. But the one verse which I really feel on all levels is the 3rd verse on Until the end of time - especially the end which is just soo eery. All 3 verses are deep but the 3rd one blows me away.

Remember me, as an outcast outlaw
Another album out thats what im about more
Gettin raw till the day I see my casket
Buried as a G
While the whole world remembers me
Until the end of time .....

 

[roadsense]

nothens changed
cause in tha game it's a steady aim
fuck friends
cause when in danger those niggas change

biggie, puffy, trevor, nigel
tupac rather makaveli's dopest verse is his 3rd verse from Street Fame. its explains so much shit about how he got set up for the rape case

Hey Nas its time to DIE!!!

Positive identification
Got me rushed to the station
Stuck in this line up
Tryin hard to hide my face (it aint me, fuck that bitch)
They placed the name but can't recall description
I ain't did shit officer
That bitch trippin
Promise retaliation
They plan busted
No man to be trusted
Everything corrupted once man touched it
Kamikaze
Hoping that none of the spies find me
That's why we bye bye daily
Knowin cops trail me
But why cry
Floatin while we tokin on this potent branch
Flossing in the thug stance, pistol tucked inside my pants
Never underestimate me
Playa hate me
See me and hide
Sure as hollow points shatter, enemies die
Spread love dead thugs
Gettin buried in riches
Take a chance to advance fuck them worrin bitches
Penitentiary's a possibility, bust and pray
Wear a rubber so I live to fuck another day
HEY...
Ain't nothin strange
I'm 25 dying to change
But still I bang wanting street fame (WESTSIDE)
