[verse 1; 2 Pac]
They'll never take me alive, I'm gettin' high with my four-five
Cocked on these suckas, time to die
Even as a youngster causin' ruckus on the back of the bus
I was a fool all through high school, kickin' up dust

But now I'm labeled as a troublemaker; who can you blame?
Smokin' weed helped me take away the pain
So I'm hopeless rollin' down the freeway swervin', don't worry
I'm about to crash up on the curb ‘cause my vision's blurry

Maybe if they tried to understand me; what should I do?
I had to feed my fuckin' family; what else could I do
But be a thug? Out slangin' with the homies
Fuck hangin' with them phonies in the club!

Got my mind on danger; never been a stranger to homicide
My city's full of gang bangers and drive bys
Why do we die at an early age?
He was so young but still a victim of the 12 gauge

My memories of a corpse, mind full of sick thoughts
And I ain't goin back to court, so fuck what you thought!
I'm drinkin' Hennessey, runnin' from my enemies
Will I live to be 23? There's so much pain

There's so much pain
There's so much pain
There's so much pain
There's so much pain

There's so much pain
There's so much pain
There's so much pain
There's so much pain

[verse 2; Rintony The Emcee]
Begitu banyak rasa sakit, yang kerap buatmu terjepit
Kadang hidup memang pahit, paksakan diri untuk bangkit
Beribu cara pembenci jatuhkanmu kau tetap terjang
Tak pedulikan makin banyak rintangan yang menghadang

5 tembakan tak buatmu terjatuh dan mati
Bahkan "hingga kini-pun kau masih terus bernyanyi"
Tak pedulikan cobaan yang banyak buatmu tersiksa
Tapi kau terus melawan selagi kau masih bisa

Beritahukan kami agar kami tahu
Bagaimana rasa sakitnya di hujam peluru
Begitu banyak musuh musuh yang kerap kali coba membunuh
Tapi tekadmu kuat hingga tak kau ambil pengaruh
Satu dari sekian yang mencoba menikam
Kau beri mereka pelajaran agar mereka bungkam
Tapi buah dari yang kau tanam, timbulkan sakit
Dan kau terus maju meski sedikit demi sedikit

Semakin sakit, tapi bantuan tak kunjung datang
Mustahil terus bertahan dari fajar hingga petang
Kau harus lari, hindari sakit ini
Siapkan amunisi, untuk bangkit kembali

[reff;]
There's so much pain
There's so much pain
There's so much pain
There's so much pain

There's so much pain
There's so much pain
There's so much pain
There's so much pain
