Tupac Shakur Young Niggaz Lyrics

I wanna dedicate this one to Robert "yummy" Sanderford
and all tha other little young n____s
that's in tha rush to be gangstas...

As a Young n____
[???]
give anythang
to be that innocent again
when I was ten
I didn't bang
but I was hangin with tha homies
till them n____s started slangin'
now they don't know me
I got my hustle on
learned to ignore
what coulda fade me lately i been tryin to make a million
can you blame me with that jelousy they wanna diss me
don't sweat me
if tha cowards really want me
come get me
and even I
someday will die
but i'm cautious up in my ride
put down the top
now we flossen
hit the freeway
let the wind blow
drop the window
workin with a 20 sack a indo
feelin' good
stop through the hood
grab tha young thugs
and I can't help but reminice back when we slung drugs
it was bad
but all we had was our hopes and dreams
couldn't see, unless we learned to slang dope to fiends

your the kind of G like everyone knows
He's always G'ed up, from head to toe
[My memories as a young n____]
always got it flown like Al Capone
He's the kind of G out there, I know

back in Jr. High
when we was barely getting by
when daddy died
that's when my momma started getten high
my neighborhood was full of drive-bys
couldn't survive
all my homies livin short lives
I couldn't cry
told my momma if I did die
just put a blunt in my casket
let me get my dead homies high
then follow me throughout my history
it's just me against the world
stuck in misory
as a young n____
my only thing is to get paid
life full of riches
avoid snitches cause they shadey
back in the day
we always had the time to play
but after they taught them g_______ers how to spray
not just LA
but in the Bay and Chicago and even St. Louis
every stadium that I go
when will they change?
stuck in the game like a dumb n____
remember how it was...
to be a young n____

your the kind of G like everyone knows
He's always G'ed up, from head to toe
[My memories as a young n____]
always got it flown like Al Capone
He's the kind of G out there, I know

I'm tellen you, if your young, have your brains and have every limb and
all that.....ya'll n____s don't know how good you really do got it.
m_________ers need to just calm down and peep what they wanna do for tha rest.
before you end your life, before you begin your life
ya dumb n____

Now that i'm grown
I got my mind on being something
don't wanna be another statistic
out there doin nothin
tryin to maintain in this dirty game
keep it real and I will
even if it kills me
my young n____s
brake away from these dumb n____s
put down the guns and have some fun n____
tha rest will come
figure fame is a fast thang
they're g_______in puttin n____s in a casket
murdered for hangin at tha wrong place at the wrong time
no longer livin
cause he trew up tha wrong sign
and everyday
I watch tha murder rate increase
and even worse
tha eppidemics and diseases
what is the future?
the projects lookin hopless
there, more and more brothas givin up
a don't care
sometimes I hate when brothers act up
I hit tha weed
and I procced to blow the track up
for young n____s

your the kind of G like everyone knows
He's always G'ed up, from head to toe
[My memories as a young n____]
always got it flown like Al Capone
He's the kind of G out there, I know

this goes out to the young thugs
have nots
the little bad m_________ers from tha block
those n____s that's 13 and 14 and drivin' cadilacs and benzs and s___
young m_________en hustlers
stay strong n____
you could be a f___en accountant not a dope dealer, ya know what i'm sayin?
f___ around and be pimpin put here
you could be a lawyer
n____s gotta get they priorities straight

young n____s, little rah rah, especially my little cousin...
