We used to fight and fuss, we used to yell and cuss We used to cock and bust now look at us We done turned to ashes and dust to dust I shoulda turned the cause and returned the love I shoulda passed the bud to all the bloods And leave them slugs with them pigs in the mud Who the fuck turned 2Pac into a thug? All I used to get was a pound and a hug I remember when we used to hate them drugs Now we can't rap without being fucked up High in the club but you sound like a drunk Hard in the street but a jailhouse punk Me and that nigga, yeah we used to bring the funk Now we got love and respect like a monk Understand that we got a lot in common Homie you in the same boat that I'm in I'm calling all the real people, real people Let em know that the change gon come Tell me where the real people?
