Lyrics: Tupac -Blasphemy (1st Verse)

Strugglin, known to hustle screamin f**k they feelings
I got advice from my father, all he told me was this
Nigga, get off your as* if you plan to be rich
There’s ten rules to the game, but I’ll share with you two
Know, niggaz gon’ hate you for whatever you do
Now rule one – get your cash on, M.O.B.
That’s Money Over Bit*hes, cause they breed envy
Now rule two is a hard one, watch for phonies
Keep yo’, enemies close nigga, watch yo’ homies
It seemed a little unimportant, when he told me I smiled
Picture jewels being handed, to an innocent child
I never knew in my lifetime I’d live by these rules
Initiated as an outlaw, studying rules
Now papa ain’t around, so I gotta recall
or come to grips with bein on my enemy’s wall (rest in peace)
Promised if I have a seed, I’ma guide him right
Dear Lord don’t let me die tonite
I got words for my comrades, listen and learn
Ain’t nuttin free, give back what you earn, no doubt
Gettin higher than a motherf**ker, blessed and pleased
This Thug Life’ll be the death of me, c’mon, yeah
The portion that I highlighted is something that just stood out to me while listening to this song on the train. It’s crazy how you can listen to a ‘Pac record a million times and manage to always get something new from the record every time. I just wanted to share this wit’ ya’ll, I thought the passage was really deep.
