Текст:

This song go out to the Underground Railround.. Digital Underground.. [2Pac: Verse 1] Resist the temptation of the beast You slip and loose your grip and forever fall asleep The venom is contagious, be wary of its spell What you thought would be heaven, turns out to be hell I wonder if she knows, the devil's taking off her clothes Deep into her soul, slow, now he's in control Poppa's doing worse, a victim of his deadly curse Wouldn't be the first, to leave the ghetto in a hearse Oh and how it hurts, the children pay the biggest price Never get the chance, to grow up with a happy life Blame it on the rock, but we know that's a bunch of crap Someone from the top, supplying us with plenty crack Keep 'em in a daze, don't let them see the other way Let 'em all get paid, won't live to see another day See they never got a breath of the sunshine Now the kid's addicted and only hit it one time We're destined to be dead as a nation Don't let it come to this, resist the temptation [Amel Larrieux: Chorus] From, pyramid top to, bottom of bowl From, whips and lock your fist and afro We, dug too deep to give up this gold Don't beat boy, and you won't be sold Running on empty, you ain't gon' go Running on empty, lead you to nowhere We fact, nobody can lie So: RE, SIST, THE, TEMPTATION [2Pac: Verse 2] Gamble for your soul with the devil You wonder how low, can you go, before you finally reach the lowest level As everybody sit and stares There's no use looking in your eyes 'cause there isn't anybody there And though it may make you wanna cry Got you stealing from your family and you don't even know why I guess you think they'll understand You feel cold, 'cause you sold your soul to the dopeman Oh now there's no turning back, in fact I's decided, that would live and die for the crack You got no friends cause you cheated 'em all Feel lonely, low, defeated and small No one was there when I took the wrong path And nobody'd care if I died in a blood bath But is this my destiny? Tell the lord they got my mind, but he can have the rest of me Cause I'm ready to end it all One bullet to the brain, forgive my sins and all I didn't mean to be a bother A failure as a son, a husband and a father I wish I could turn back the time Go back and find, why I let it crack my mind And my only explanation, it came to this Resist the temptation [Amel Larrieux: Chorus] From, pyramid top to, bottom of bowl From, whips and lock your fist and afro We, dug too deep to give up this gold Don't beat boy, and you won't be sold Running on empty, you ain't gon' go Running on empty, lead you to nowhere We fact, nobody can lie So: RE, SIST, THE, TEMPTATION [2Pac: Verse 3] Your death left family behind Your wife and your son find a gun, and pieces of daddy's mind On the door and on the floor Now her husband is dead, what else is she living for? So now she picks up the gun Now son is the only one Grows up in adoption homes Gets older, bolder, and cold 'cause he's left alone To him, nothing is funny Mind set on one thing, making his money Since I was left with no hope I want money and gold ropes and so I slang dope Now I'm the neighborhood dopeman And as long 'cause they smoking I'll never be broke man I live the life of a trifle Following a cycle, so I'm just a psycho But if I had a better life I would have lived a good life and did more things right Hard to resist temptation With all the aggravation and the frustration Of living in the ghetto Your mind gets twisted, just like a pretzel So it's time that I check out But one nosy cop, just won't let me get out They got me trapped once again With a choice: shoot the cop, or live lif
