[Intro: 2Pac]

You said “Hey, I just want to be alive”

That’s real for you

That’s so real

I made a metamorphosis

I’m a new person today

I feel like I could represent my generation so much

Cause I honestly, did not care wether I lived or died

But now, if I can’t live free

If I can’t live with the same respect as the next man

I don’t wanna be here

Because go has cursed me

To see what life should be like

[Verse 1]

Fear of death it's еither heaven or hеll

While in the hell we living in, they doing heavenly well

See when the soul ascend, it's cold ain't nothing left in the shell

Speaking on a touchy topic got me feeling like braille

Can't no one see shit

Cause nobody like getting to uncomfortable

Ignite the fire, desire lacking combustible

Individuals too gullible

Government motives are more than trustable

Yeah, right

I think they questionable

It get bigger than the shit you see on TV

JFK got popped broad day, now can you feel me?

Open a book and I hope you knocking my CD

I'm speaking Pidgin with brothers speaking Swahili

Shit gonna change eventually

Like when the Queen return the diamonds, and the penitentiary

Exonerate and let the innocent they sentenced free

First degree for murdering the pen intentionally

It's hell, Mary

[Hook]

Hail Mary

No, it's hell, Mary

If no one listen

Then it's hard to tell Mary (x2)

Hail Mary

(It’s a psychological war going on outside)

Oh hell, Mary

(Since ain’t nothing more powerful than your mind)

It's hell, Mary

(Either you get up now, or get left behind)

You couldn't tell, Mary?

[Verse 2]

Elevation needed

Gotta watch that shit they feeding us

Defeating us with more deceiving

Just so we even, we striking back on this evening

Or Monday morning with motivation moving more strategic

While in class I was writing verses

And didn't pay attention to slavery preparation, I would write in cursive

Until my teacher told me I needed modification

That's what made me start looking beneath the surface

In need for certainty

Decided I want to become more than a worker bee

Third eye opening only so the world could see

An urgency like when we had to leave for Germany

Solo when you coming and, solo when you leaving

And battling them demons until finally you healing

Keep on dreaming, but please, don't ever stop believing

Confidence & courage, cause you here for a reason

A meaning

[Hook]

Hail Mary

No, it's hell, Mary

If no one listen

Then it's hard to tell Mary (x2)

Hail Mary

(It’s a psychological war going on outside)

Oh hell, Mary

(Since ain’t nothing more powerful than your mind)

It's hell, Mary

(Either you get up now, or get left behind)

You couldn't tell, Mary?
