Nothin But Love
Old man still drinkin / His breath still stinkin / He’d love to tell ya what he’s thinkin / But I can’t diss him he’s my elder / He been livin here longer what that tell ya?
Straight outta Oakland, California
Where we spark it on ya
Give a shout out to my partners
In the darkest corners
I remember drinkin Hennessey
Smokin weed
Fantasize about the things we’d grow to be
Had a partner named Snoop
Loved to clown a stank
Smoke a pound a day
Commenced to down a drank
Shooting craps in the alley till they chased us off
Pour a little for my homies
But don’t waste it all
Oohwee, who popped that coochie best?
On my tattooed chest is where the hoochies rest
Having house parties in a crowded spot
And you can tell it’s hot
They talk loud a lot
Everybody wanna dance when the slow jam come
Lookin dumb
’Cause you waitin for your chance to hump
Straight grindin
Everybody havin fun
And it’s cool till a fool pull a loaded gun
’Cause another dude kicked his Bacardi over
He had to act a fool now the party’s over
Gun shots rang like it’s thunder
And everybody bum rushing and I’m rushing to get a number
Says she got a man but she’s lying
Why?
I seen her talking to this other guy and..
He’s a dealer so you know she gonna sweat him
I ain’t trippin I just hope he get em
I got nothin but love
[Chorus] [Dave The Black Angel] (x4)
Ain’t got nothin but love for ya
[2Pac] I’m down for yours, nothin but love
I love to go back
To the block I got my game from
And pay respect for the place that I came from
’Cause uh
Old man still drinkin
His breath still stinkin
He’d love to tell ya what he’s thinkin
But I can’t diss him he’s my elder
He been livin here longer what that tell ya?
And little girls playin double dutch
Still blush
’Cause she don’t get in trouble much
It’s uhh
Ponytails and barrettes
I gotta make it back home
Before the sun decides to set
And little boys playin stick ball
Quick y’all
Get out the street before they hit y’all
And as I reminisce
I think about my ghetto bliss
And wonder how we came to this
I help an old lady across the street
The cost is free
I can’t take what she offers me
And this is how the world could be
This is how the world should be
Feels good to be back on the streets
Cause I know they got love for me
Nothin but love
[Chorus]
When I was young
I used to want to be a dealer see
’Cause the gold and cars
They appealed to me
I saw our brothers getting rich
Slangin crack to folks
And the square’s getting big for these sack of dope
Started thinking bout a plan to get paid myself
So I made myself
Raised myself
Till the dealer on the block told me
“That ain’t cool
You ain’t meant to slang crack
you a rapper, fool”
I got my game about women from a prostitute
And way back used to rap on the block for loot
I tried to make my way legit
But it was hard
’Cause rhymes don’t pay the rent
And uhh
It was funny how I copped out
I couldn’t make it in school
So finally I dropped out
My family on welfare
I’m steady thinking
Since don’t nobody else care
I’m out here on my own
At least in jail
I have a meal and I wouldn’t be alone
I’m feelin like a waste
Tears rollin down my face
’Cause my life is filled with hate
Until I looked around me
I saw nothing but family
Straight up down for me
Panthers, pimps, pushers and thugs
Hey yo, if that’s my family tree
I got nothin but love
[Chorus w/o 2Pac] (repeat until end)
