Destiny
2PAC & PJ

Could it be my destiny
To be lonely
And check all these girls
That always want to be around
acting like they know me
but deep inside I worry
Because they are all phonies

But you were different
I had no reason to be suspicious
Cause I can tell
My life with you will be delicious

The way you toss your hair
And shake your hips
Got me addicted
Im sitting here trying to figure
Hopefully soon will kick it

Even though I got needs
I got to struggle
To resist it
Slowly advance
And not miss my chance
To miss it.
You blow me kisses
as i stare you in your eyes
you say forever
when i ask how long
you'll be by my side
you make be calm
But im more lonley
once again.

I see you reminiscing
I hope you listen
The position
The pressure
The competition

Me and you
were meant to be my destiny
No longer lonely
Cause now its all about
you and me

I can see
A happy home
That’s my fantasy
But my reality
Is problems with your family
What can I do
I don’t want to loose you
To the suckers
Cause if he touch her
I got some drama for that buster
Don’t want to rush you
But You don’t have to
Go through all this drama
This I want to tell
your mama!

No one left to tell

There are things I could've told you
There's a time and a place
Where my words, would allow me
To say what I want change

I have these dreams
That seem to go away each day
I had these thoughts
That gave me all my grey

There are birds all around me
The flowers pressed to my face
I need her so much
I would drive just to see her
But I dont know where she is
The scary part, im closter phobic
And when she left
I couldn’t breathe

Im stuck in so many paths
I need her advice
I want to hear her thoughts
I get chills on how much I miss you
I will kill anyone that causes this again…….

I promise im a different man
Yet I am the same inside
I seen things others cant
I’ve done wrong others wont
I’ve been good, others have seen
And yet no one is there for me.

It's been weeks since I saw you
But each day I close my eyes
And see your face
And in time you will remind me,
that you wish you never left
That you didn’t think
I would take it so hard
That not seeing you
Was KILLING my heart!!!

All the world is but a mad man
screaming over all my fears
No one hears your pain
they're way to busy for something
And the days become weeks
and the months turn to years
and you only have you
to show for it all

You got to know by now
that no one sees all those tears
When you cry cause it hurts
doesn’t mean you fear
and it doesn’t mean its cleared.

Because aloud in heaven
the Angels cry with you
When you shout about the way you feel
a million lies appear
and there is no one near you

When you break and you yell
and there's no one left to tell
you have the tears of heaven
and his grace will come to you
and if in that moment
it didn’t make sense
its because you spend a lifetime
chasing broken ends.

I Think Too Much

I believe in windy days
when everything gets blown away
I Promise you I'm not afraid
I will sing a romantic song
About the birds and lion hearts
But please if I forget to stop
Remind me who I am and what you are

when our eyes close we're the same
I believe in kings and queens
And everything stuck in between
But please if you must take a peek
Don't spoil for me the mystery

Yesterday I thought that
I was low as I could get
I had hit rock bottom
There's two feet of topsoil
A little bit of bedrock,
limestone in between
A fossilized bone
A little patch of crude oil
A thousand feet of granite
and then there's me

I was kind of hoping
I could dig my way back out
A couple dozen attempts
maybe get me back up
But the pain in my eyes
as you talked away my joy
stop me for ever trusting another soul.

all good people have
a sense of themselves,
They never worry,
they know what tomorrow holds
And all good people
are far from me
I've been feeling lonesome
I'm down,
don't know what to do
I let you lie to me
Plant seeds inside
To see them grow
Only to leave them to die

Well is your cup half empty?
Is your cup half full?
What are you going to be
Now that you are old
Are you a gym teacher,
Rock star, or superhero
In a major motion picture
Action feature, creature?

Maybe tomorrow we'll crush a
Nickel on a railroad track
Time is running out
I think, I think too much…

Forget the truth

There is a dream
I used to have.
My dream swallowed me whole.
There is a bridge where I had to cross
That is where I lost it all

High on the bridge
I seen my path to my dream
There is a life I never knew
They said careful with life,
life just disappeared
They said I took too long
and now it wont appear

High on my thoughts
I seen my hope walking away,
waving to me goodbye
I smiled and raised my head
and watch it all disappear
But I can't escape my memories
They come back to me so clear
There is the truth I can't escape
and that causes me fear

Now I know why ever since ever
Been having the same dream
Now I know the truth about life
A scared man in my private pain
Hushed voice in my electric chair
Strange talk about tomorrow
and the long walk of the dark days

In the myth of a merciful god
In the myth of a heaven and hell
I hear the voices you hear sometimes
Sometimes it points me well
other times casues confusion
and wont point me to the truth
I ran through the jungle
I Hide in the dark
I did not lose my mind
I heard the truth
Now its time to forget.

I need you next to me…

I’m all alone
Making my way to a cold,
empty home
Nobody waiting
and no one to hold
I wake up early
Staring at the mirror to find my face
Pick out the pieces
I hide from within
and I have been told
I don’t fit in.

If weakness is a wound
that no one wants to speak of
Then "Trust" is just how far
we have to fall
I am not immune,
I only want to be loved
But I feel safe behind the firewall

Can I lose my need to impress?
If you want the truth
I need to confess
I'm not alright,
I'm broken inside
And all I go through,
it leads me to hurt.

I'm so alone,
empty and lost,
Time will erode the shame
and the fault,
it's easier to let me go.

Burn away the pride
Bring me to my weakness
Until everything
I hide behind is gone
And when I'm open wide
with nothing left to cling to
then you shall see
I'm not that strong.

Safe in the eye of the storm
Mercy and faith keeps me warm
the dreams I've seen tattered and torn
Just when I think
I can't take another one

She gave me shelter
and never will I be alone
Hold me closer
She help me find my way home
Cause its a long road
through the darkest of nights
But her love
won't let me lose sight.

High is this mountain I climb
Deep is this river of time
The devils got trouble in mind
Sometimes I stumble
But she is there to remind me
Standing right there beside me

I've made up my mind
Everything's fine
There's faith in disguise
There's no more secrets to shadow the lies
I swallow my pride
Somebody cares,
hard to be seen
when there's nobody there.

Realize that I can loose control,
Impulses keep flashing through my head
I'm on the outside
Take up all my life inside,
why would I let them
make up my mind
And be mislead
Go ahead
make up your mind
I have had enough
of who they want

This pain inside
I can't understand
This hate in life
that will not go away

I'm always going to be one life behind
That's why I'm all alone
What's it going to take to make you see
It's the black clouds over your head
It's the monsters under your bed
As tragic as this might seem
I need you next to me.

I’m going to make It.

What makes you think I can't make it?
Put me to the test, I'll take it
I've been through more trials
But I've overcome all
And I've never been one for faking
I kept on moving and shaking
And that's how I made it

There's a time for every star to shine
And a place for every dream to see the light
When you have everything
You don't need
another reason to be something

I walked thru the fire
Fought thru the raging storm
I found peace inside of me
Darkness inside my heart
I've got to be strong
I will stand for my dreams
I was made for this moment
I was made for pain

Haunting echoes from a careless word
You'll never know how much they hurt
Dreams are precious don't you know
But they are so hard to follow

I was taught not to run away
because raindrops
will always fall on your face
When it seems like all hope is gone
Got to get thru the storm
Before you can see the dawn
This is all I am
Someday soon I'll be ready to go
Mind, body, spirit, I'll be out on my own

I'm almost me,
I'm almost free
Going nowhere,
heading somewhere all at the same time
Reaching up and looking down

I came from the bottom,
worked my way up
Ran with big doggs,
had to get my weight up
Reminisce of times
when we all were hungry
I came from the streets
Did my own thing,
Sometimes I cant believe
i made it
toast and take it
But I keep moving and shaking
Stay true to my faith and
I am not worried about you
I'm going to make it.

All that I am

Here I am a little nervous thinking
What have I done again
Can't seem to find the words today
Can’t make nonsense make sense

We go in and out of laughter
We don't know what we want
Holding out for something better
We forget who we are
Through every twist and turn
We live but we don't learn

Standing here amidst this point of definition
Pushing for life’s position
as I battle opposition
I am on a mission
or is it all in vain?
Do you notice the difference?
or is it all the same?

Lord keep me only focused on good
Make me a humble man
Don't ever let me take the credit
For all that I am
And who do I blame?
when my vision gets blurry
Get in a hurry frustrated and feeling fury.

Faith is enduring
to stand the test of time
Answers are plain
we make them hard to find

Destiny cannot be shaken
Fate will send us where we need to be
Many turns our world has taken
But in the end
you're standing here with me

It's a long road to peace
We're standing' on the edge of hope
We're standing' hand in hand
Nothing will break us if we try
My heart's filled with such emotion
I want a reason for the air I breathe

I see the truth upon the elders
frowning down upon my life
like a trophy valued by masses of minds
are closed to a variety
and change in a life so bland
through others learning from nothing

responsibility pointing failure
cause the reflection in the mirror is what you fear
to see like a trophy
you pose like you are immortal
than me like I care what I hear...

I’ve seen both sides of the fence
because changing is evolving
a learning lesson through experience
is all that I am
more knowledge
than your common man.
