[00:00.000] [Verse 1: 2Pac]
[00:19.946] Dear baby, it's me again, stuck inside this max pen
[00:22.292] Tryna pay my debt for all my sins
[00:24.207] See, these penitentiary times be so heavy on my mind
[00:26.865] At times it's like I'm living just to die
[00:29.230] I'm living in hell, stuck in my jail cell
[00:31.187] Stranded in the county jail, waiting for my chance to post bail
[00:34.321] I wanna be paid in large stacks and mash in fast Jags
[00:37.247] I blast and wonder "How long will I last?"
[00:39.325] My memories fade when I'm intoxicated
[00:41.195] Busters are shady, so I'm dumping on cowards
[00:43.347] Crazy whenever faded
[00:44.621] I know I said it all before, but now I mean it
[00:46.693] Visions of me and you ballin', so crystal clear I seen it
[00:49.485] Even though you mad at me
[00:50.994] You'll be glad to see the strategy
[00:52.306] Of making these chips come so easily
[00:54.455] I max out in the morning, baby, life is good
[00:56.764] Me and you against the whole hood, soon as I get home
[00:59.903] [Chorus: 2Pac]
[01:00.140] Grab my straps, locate my comrades
[01:02.503] Let's get my enemies not knowing I'm coming back
[01:05.359] Go get the money out the safe
[01:07.017] It's time to turn the streets into a war zone
[01:09.175] Soon as I come home
[01:10.078] [repeat~]
[01:19.353] [Verse 2: 2Pac]
[01:19.701] Sittin' here looking at pictures of me and you livin'
[01:21.724] But now you out in the world, while I'm twistin' in prison
[01:24.228] Love letters come daily, words of affection
[01:26.466] You send me money and nude pictures beggin' for some sexin'
[01:28.884] Stay wide open, keep your eyes peeled
[01:30.353] And my advice is "Keep it real or you can die squealin'."
[01:33.403] Plus I never had to worry 'bout a visit
[01:35.426] ‘Cause you're there daily
[01:36.641] Guards tryna get your number, you don't dare tell me
[01:38.943] Tongue-kissing, steady humpin', tryna touch up somethin'
[01:41.435] Before the C-O in the corner jump in, frontin'
[01:43.890] Late night reminiscing, everybody's quiet
[01:46.149] I think something's in the air, prepare for the riot
[01:48.803] It's padlocks in my socks, steel from the bed springs
[01:51.415] I touch 'em with thug love and then let they heads ring
[01:53.902] I started a war, but now I'm gone
[01:56.001] Release me to the streets in the morning
[01:57.851] It's on, soon as I get home
[01:59.319] [Chorus: 2Pac]
[01:59.525] Grab my gats, locate my comrades
[02:02.406] Let's get my enemies not knowing I'm coming back
[02:04.605] Let's get my money out the safe
[02:05.871] It's time to turn the streets into a war zone
[02:08.023] Soon as I get home
[02:09.350] [repeat~]
[02:18.862] [Verse 3: Yaki Khadafi]
[02:19.116] Since you've been gone
[02:20.383] My whole life's been like a game of Cee-low
[02:21.254] Thinking big, like the kid from Casino
[02:22.565] Fulfillin' my dreams, like Nino
[02:23.787] Brown, the whole town be shook up
[02:25.091] And me and mama surviving
[02:26.556] Depends on how many rocks a nigga cook up
[02:28.310] Narcotics got traffic, seen those niggas you blasted
[02:30.691] Wanting me in a casket, on a ground, kind of plastic
[02:33.287] Yeah, nigga, I heard, Lil' Mu gave the word
[02:35.681] You get paroled on the third, it's all love
[02:37.754] We out here frontin', still here but all about nothin'
[02:40.820] But double O's is what I'm wantin'
[02:42.476] And I'm tryna see somethin' that we ain't never had
[02:44.527] Luxury life, results living bad
[02:46.087] Tricks of the trade, shit that should've been taught by Dad
[02:48.351] But learned through the crew
[02:49.514] Lessons between me and you
[02:50.703] And once we lock this shit down it ain't a thing they can do
[02:53.078] Meanwhile I stay waiting by the phone
[02:55.226] Hoping I'll get a call telling a nigga that you home
[02:58.874] [Chorus: 2Pac]
[02:59.023] Grab the gats, locate my comrades
[03:01.269] Let's get my enemies not knowing I'm coming back
[03:03.674] Go get my money out the safe
[03:04.178] It's time to turn the streets into a war zone
[03:07.586] Soon as I get home
[03:08.836] [repeats until end]
