Lyrics. 2Pac:. I never had much ran with a bad bunch. Little skinny kid sneakin weed in my bag lunch. And all through Junior High we was just gettin by. And drivebys robbed my homies of their young lives. I never did cry and even though I had. pain in my heart I was hopeless from the start. They couldn't tell me nothin they all tried to help to. The marijuana had my mind gone it wasn't healthy. I travelled places caught cases what a ill year. I felt the pain and the rain but I'm still here. Never did like the police let the whole world know. Now I gets no peace cause they chasin me down. And facin me now what do I do?. These thangs that a Thug goes through. And still I rise so keep ya head up and make ya mind strong. It's a struggle every day but you gotta hold on. . Chorus:. They say that things just cannot grow. beneath the winter snow. or so I have been told.. They say were buried far. just like a distant star. I simply cannot hold. . Eminem:. We're all we got in this world. When it spins when it swirls. When it whirls when it twirls. Two little beautiful girls. Lookin' puzzled in a daze. I know it's confusing you. Daddy's always on the move mamma's always on the news. I try to keep you sheltered from it but somehow it seems. The harder that I try to do that the more it backfires on me. All the things growing up his daddy that he had to see. Daddy don't want you to see but you see just as much as he did. We did not plan it to be this way your mother and me. But things have gotten so bad between us. I don't see us ever being together ever again. Like we used to be when we was teenagers. But then of course everything always happens for a reason. I guess it was never meant to be. But it's just something we have no control over and that's what destiny is. But no more worries rest your head and go to sleep. Maybe one day we'll wake up and this will all just be a dream. . Chorus:. They say that things just cannot grow. beneath the winter snow. or so I have been told.. They say were buried far. just like a distant star. I simply cannot hold. . 2Pac:. Dear momma don't cry your baby boy's doin good. Tell the homies I'm in heaven and they ain't got hoods. Seen a show with Marvin Gaye last night it had me shook. Drippin peppermint Schnapps with Jackie Wilson and Sam Cooke. Then some lady named Billie Holiday. Sang sittin there kickin it with Malcolm 'til the day came. Little LaTasha sho' grown. Tell the lady in the liquorstore that she's forgiven so come home. Maybe in time you'll understand only God can save us. When Miles Davis cuttin lose with the band. Just think of all the people that you knew in the past. that passed on they in heaven found peace at last. Picture a place that they exist together. There has to be a place better than this in heaven. So right before I sleep dear God what I'm askin. Remember this face save me a place in thug's mansion. . Chorus:. They say that things just cannot grow. beneath the winter snow. or so I have been told.. They say were buried far. just like a distant star. I simply cannot hold
