I'm back to the streets, where I learned to survive Grew up in the struggle, had to stay alive No handouts, had to earn my keep Hustlin' every day, never getting no sleep Raised in the hood, where the guns go bang Gotta watch your back, ain't no room for slang Mama told me to stay strong, never back down So I keep pushing forward, never wearing down Life ain't easy when you're living in the gutter But I keep my head up, and no bitch ganna bring me down because I'm a soldier in this war, fighting for my crown No matter what they say, I'll always down gatta keep your head up and look around Back to the streets, where I found my voice Speaking truth to power, making all the noise I'll never forget where I came from, that's a fact I'm 2Pac reincarnated, ain't no turning back. or
