[Intro: 2Pac]<br />Let us pray<br />Heavenly Father, hear a nigga down here<br />Before I go to sleep<br />Tell me, who do you believe in?<br />Who do you believe in?<br /><br /><em>[Verse One: 2Pac]<br />I see mothers in black cryin, brothers in packs dyin<br />Plus everybody's high, too doped up to ask why<br />Watchin our own downfall, witness the end<br />It's like we don't believe in God cause we livin in sin<br />I asked my homie on the block why he strapped, he laughed<br />Pointed his pistol as the cop car passed and blast<br />It's just another murder, nobody mourns no more<br />My tear drops gettin bigger but can't figure what I'm cryin for<br />Is it the miniature caskets, little babies<br />Victims of a stray, from drug dealers gone crazy<br />Maybe it's just the drugs, visions of how the block was<br />Crack came and it was strange how it rocked us<br />Perhaps the underlyin fact stay high explain genocide<br />It's when we ride on our own kind<br />What is it we all fear, reflections in the mirror<br />We can't escape fate, the end is gettin nearer<br /><br /><em>[Chorus 2X: 2Pac]<br />Who do you believe in?<br />I put my faith in God, blessed and still breathin<br />And even though it's hard, that's who I believe in<br />Before I'm leavin, I'm askin the grievin - who do you believe in?<br /><br /><em>[Verse Two: 2Pac]<br />Can't close my eyes cause all I see is terror<br />I hate the man in the mirror<br />Cause his reflection makes the pain turn realer<br />Times of Armageddeon, murder in mass amounts<br />In this society where only gettin the cash counts<br />I started out as a beginner<br />Entered the criminal lifestyle became a sinner<br />I make my money and vacate, evade prison<br />Went from the chosen one to outcast, unforgiven<br />And all the Hennessy and weed can't hide, the pain I feel inside<br />You know, it's like I'm livin just to die<br />I fall on my knees and beg for mercy, not knowin if I'm worthy<br />Livin life thinkin no man can hurt me<br />So I'm askin -- before I lay me down to sleep<br />Before you judge me, look at all the shit you did to me, my misery<br />I rose up from the slums, made it out the flames<br />In my search for fame will I change? I'm askin<br /><br /><em>[Chorus]<br /><br /><em>[Verse Three: Kadafi]<br />Faith in Allah, believe in me and this plastic<br />Cause so far I done witnessed to many dead niggaz in caskets<br />With they chest plates stretched like elastic<br />And what's worse I'm on front line, holdin down camp, still mashin<br />Heard my cousin, one of the old heads from the block<br />Just came home October of '95 back in Yardsville stuck<br />with a three to five, if he don't act up, now he realize<br />If you don't stay wise, then in this game you fucked<br />Talk to my baby girl, give me the word on what she heard<br />One of the grimmies is snitchin, Diamond a stool pigeon I talked to him<br />He said he didn't, my man said he did, in fact he's sure<br />Cause he just came home off of bail<br /><br /><em>[2Pac] Now tell me<br /><br /><em>[Chorus]<br /><br /><em>[Outro: spoken word]<br />Who do you believe in?<br />Is it Buddah, Jehovah, or Jah? Or Allah?<br />Is it Jesus? Is it God? Or is just yourself?<br />Definately not to be imposed, being a demon<br />Because this is the joy of believing!<br />Men, to believe in yourselves<br />But for sure, the higher power<br />Resides only to ride in the heart of the true<br />From the soul, of the man; for truth never has an alibi<br />In the poetry, or in it's realm<br />That's what pulls all words together<br />Just to understand, that every man, is his OWN man<br />And only man can satisfy the man<br />Only the soul of the man, the feelings of the man<br />The for realness of the man<br />You can't shake the man when you feel the man you know the man<br />And you gotta call yourself because you are that man<br /><br /><em>[2Pac]<br />Who do you believe in?<br />I put my faith in God, blessed and still breathin<br /><br /><em>[singing while 2Pac speaks]<br />Who do you believe in?
