Tears lyrics

[Intro: 2Pac]
I shall not fear no man but God
Though I walk through the valley of death
I shed so many tears
If I should die before I wake
Please God walk with me
Grab a n*gga and take me to Heaven

[Julius Luciano]
Many times I was stuck up at the Greyhound Station
Momma where we goin'? She said wait now, patience
Wait now? Ma, it's gettin' late now, I hate this
Greyhound workers got the straight-frown faces
May sound racist but I couldn't really stand
White workers seein' n*ggas with no tickets in our hand
We was homeless, everytime I hear a bus near us
I wanna leave as my tear ducts fill up
My bro had major surgery in Georgia
Hurt me to the core but what hurt me even more
Was certainly the torture of being in California
I couldn't afford seein' him, had to purposely avoid the
Mirror, cuz the fact was evident to me
That my life wasn't sh*t, as I'm starin' in the sink
My granny passed away before she got to face and love me
I guess that was never meant to be
[2Pac]
Back in elementary, I thrived on misery
Left me alone I grew up amongst a dying breed
Inside my mind couldn't find a place to rest
Until I got that Thug Life tatted on my chest
Tell me can you feel me
I'm not living in the past, you wanna last?
Be the first to blast Remember Kato
No longer with us; he's deceased
Call on the sirens, seen him murdered in the streets, now rest in peace
Is there heaven for a G? Remember me
So many homies in the cemetery, shed so many tears

[Refrain]
I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears
Lord, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears

[Demetrius Capone]
I shed to many tears, ya I wept for many years
Askin' God the same question, but did he hear us
Is there a Heaven for the rest of us?
Cuz death is in our rearview mirror, finna catch us, he gettin' near us
That's why I tatted 7's on my flesh because I wanted heaven to step with us
And then protect us from interference
And when I'm desperate to find heaven, I just get reminded whenever I stare at my reflection within these mirrors
I don't believe in hell, I don't believe in the devil
Cuz on these streets is hell, and we don't need a devil
We do evil ourself, hopin' that God forgive us
I don't believe the bible, too many contradictions
So what do I believe? I only believe in God
Cuz He or She is the only reason that we alive
Other than that I'm lost, lord knows I'm tired
Lord knows I cry
[2Pac]
Lord knows I tried, been a witness to homicide
Seen drive-bys takin' lives, little kids die
Wonder why as I walk by
Broken-hearted as I glance at the chalk line, getting high
This ain't the life for me, I wanna change
But ain't no future bright for me, I'm stuck in the game
I'm trapped inside a maze
See this Tanqueray influenced me to getting crazy
Disillusioned lately, I've been really wanting babies
So I could see a part of me that wasn't always shady
Don't trust my lady cause she's a product of this poison
I'm hearing noises, think she's f*ckin' all my boys, can't take no more
I'm fallin' to the floor; beggin' for the Lord to let me in
To Heaven's door -- Shed so many tears

[Refrain]
I suffered through the years, and shed so many tears
Lord, I lost so many peers, and shed so many tears
