Listen to Your Heart
(Tupac’s version)
Looking back I realized it was you
Looking forward I realize it was true
I thought I met you as a soldier thrown to the streets
Then as my nurse laying chard to these beats
Then I finally woke up and realized why and how long you were there
Advocate for the lost girl left alone with that swaying broken stare
So it all came down to the beach that day
And I couldn’t even realize what you were trying to say
Later I realized more then the hands of time
My part was more then mine in half of almost every line
It was you that took his tats away
But you never taught me how to play
“A coward dies a thousand deaths but a solider dies but once”
I still don’t get it... but I say
The soldier walk dead to protect instead & the coward the one that fronts
I didn’t want to but was gonna be a nun if signs went that way
Now these days the faith is all you they even fuck w me as I pray
Faith in my god and my culture
I’ll tell you in 2 seconds it was stuck there at his bday, that girl, a milk truck, and the vulture
I saw how they did you in the casino, I wish I was there to tell you not to run
And to stop boxing shadows, when their friends they’re more fun
All eyes? I would’ve told you teach them something new
Maybe too many codes we could’ve cracked too high a echelon too
I don’t know the game or even what it is
I don’t know witch craft or any of this
I can’t even light their candles and send it all back
They can’t hate someone they never met and my friends had no validation for attack
This shit is all wack
So what you saying? He mad at me?
Cause embracing my gifts and running back drove me to insanity
I’m done and the only reason I don’t throw my pen down too
Cause every word is truth except one or two, 2
I can’t believe my god let them do this to me
I can’t believe for how I lived I’ll never be free
But even worse
Just cursed
And you already know
Sincerely yours...
Baby girl - I’ll never let them go
