- 2Pac performing To Live And Die In L.A.
Lyrics:
"Street Science, you're on the air. What do you feel when you hear a record like 2Pac's new one?"
"I love 2Pac's new record."
"Right, but don't you feel like that creates tension between East and West? I mean, he's talking about killing people, 'I had sex with your wife' - and not in those words. But he's talking about, 'I wanna see you deceased'…"
[2Pac:]
To live and die in L.A., California
What you say about Los Angeles?
Still the only place for me
It never rains in Southern California
[2Pac:]
To live and die in L.A.
Where everyday we try to fatten our pockets
Us niggas hustle for the cash, so it's hard to knock it
Everybody got they own thing, currency chasin'
Worldwide through the hard times, worrying faces
Shed tears as we bury niggas close to heart
Who was a friend is now a ghost in the dark
Cold-hearted 'bout it, nigga got smoked by a fiend
Tryin' to floss on him, blind to a broken man's dream
A hard lesson, court cases keep me guessin'
Plea bargain ain't an option now, so I'm stressin'
Cost me more to be free than a life in the pen
Making money off of cuss words, writin' again
Learn how to think ahead, so I fight with my pen
Late night down sunset, likin' the scene
What's the worst they could do to a nigga?
Got me lost in Hell, to live and die in L.A. on bail
[Val Young (2Pac):]
(My angel sing)
To live and die in L.A., it's the place to be
(And the angels go)
You've got to be there to know it
When everybody wanna see
(To live and die in L.A.)
To live and die in L.A., it's the place to be
You've got to be there to know it
When everybody wanna see
[2Pac:]
It's the City of Angels and constant danger
South Central L.A. can't get no stranger
Full of drama, like a soap opera, on the curb
Watchin' the ghetto bird helicopters, I observe
So many niggas getting three strikes, tossed in jail
I swear, the pen right across from hell
I can't cry, 'cause it's on now, I'm just a nigga on his own now
Livin' life thug style, so I can't smile
Writing to my peoples when they ask for pictures
Thinking Cali just fun and bitches
Better learn about the dress code, B's and C's
All them other niggas copycats, these is G's
I love Cali like I love women
'Cause every nigga in L.A. got a little bit of thug in him
We might fight amongst each other
But I promise you this: we'll burn this bitch down
Get us pissed, to live and die in L.A.
[Val Young (2Pac):]
(My angel sing)
To live and die in L.A., it's the place to be
(And the angels go)
You've got to be there to know it
When everybody wanna see
(To live and die in L.A.)
To live and die in L.A., it's the place to be
You've got to be there to know it
When everybody wanna see
[2Pac:]
It wouldn't be L.A. without Mexicans
Black love, brown pride, and the sets again
Pete Wilson tryin' to see us all broke
I'm on some bullshit out for everything they owe
Remember K-day? Weekends, Crenshaw, MLK?
Automatics rang free, niggas lost they way
Gang signs being shown, nigga, love your hood!
But recognize and it's all good
Where the weed at? Niggas gettin' shermed out
Snoop Dogg in this mothafucka permed out
M.O.B., Big Suge in the Lo-Lo, bounce and turn
Dogg Pound in the Lex with a ounce to burn
Got them Watts niggas with me, O.F.T.B.
They got some hash, took the stash, left the rest for me
Neckbone, Tray, Heron, Big Buntry too
Big Rock got knocked, but this one's for you
I hit the studio and drop a jewel, hopin' it pay
Gettin' high, watchin' time fly; to live and die in L.A.
[Val Young (2Pac):]
To live and die in L.A., it's the place to be
(Let my angel sing)
You've got to be there to know it
When everybody wanna see
(And my angels go)
To live and die in L.A., it's the place to be
(To live and die in L.A.)
You've got to be there to know it
When everybody wanna see
(Let my angel sing)
[2Pac:]
This go out for 92.3, and 106
All the radio stations that be bumpin' my shit
Makin' my shit sells katruple quitraple platinum
(To live and die in L.A., mhmmm)
This go out to all the magazines that support a nigga
All the real motherfuckers
(To live and die in L.A., mhmmm)
All the stores, the mom and pop spots
A&R people, all y'all mothafuckers
(To live and die in L.A., mhmmm)
L.A., "California Love" part mothafuckin' two
Without gay ass Dre
(To live and die in L.A., mhmmm)
#2Pac2020 #2Pac #Tupac
We must make sure this song never dies
His music will never dies and no Skip tracks I play his music in my vehicle daily
0:08
Once exit out L.A.X, I’m blasting this out the rental!
This is the angel city anthem. This can't die.
His songs have so much meaning they make me happy an wanna cry at the same time ..❤
This an many songs is the reason why MEXICANS love tupac, this is the reason why we learned to live with each other and learned to love each other's culture..TUPAC is the reason why stand with my brothers against police brutality because I know tupac would of been riding with us.. Happy birthday TUPAC..forever in my heart...
That's a fact 💯 👌
💯💯💯✊🏽
That’s true.
that's right even if he was gangster he respect Islam and Muslims
R.I.P Legend
I'm a Malaysian who used to travel to LA, Cali many times before. I love this city so much. It's true, your people are one of the best communities in the world 👍 The pride of the working class
Best rapper ever lived.. Period..
I used to listen to this when I was 63, and now I'm 17. This will forever be a classic.💚
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣
What?
@@Shawzo_OHPyou havent hear about benjamin button?
This song is the bomb I LIKE LISTEN TO 2PAC MUSIC I'm white 48 and haven't changed RiP pac 👍🏿👍🏻👌🏿👌🏻🤜🏻🤛🏿💯 respect my bruv never forgotten always remembered 👍🏻
thanks for letting us know your white 👏👏
2pac remains the best rapper of all time. Can we talk about Val Young's chorus on the good die young, tears and closed caskets and here on this track. He complimented Pac!
Val Young and 2Pac made great music. She has a beautiful voice. I think she's the same lady on the Black Jesus track.
Val Young is a good background hook singer
The Goat of rap agree?
Who doesn't, doesn't know hip-hop...
Na.
Yes
One of the best
Agreed. People don't realize, but pac is the main one that brought rap mainstream. Snoop to but my ambitions as a rider, had 2 cds all were bangers. All of em. That was a first and last.
This is real talent.
Brought me bk to my teens
Hearing his voice man
Love This Track R.I.P Pac
Miss 2Pac, steal the hottest and best rapper alive he the only one did it the best to do it. No other rapper will be talked about 25 years later plus
The best rapper of all time#2Pac🥇🙏🏿👍🏿
You damn right damn I wish he wasn’t dead
Dead or alive
Still the greatest Dead or alive 🏆
Fo sure
Nah big L is the greatest to do it , pac’s music touch your heart but L’s music make you sit there and think wtf was going through this niggas head 🤣
Tupac is the best. That is all. ✌️❤️👽
Even though I never been to LA before, as a guy born after 2000, i still love this song and respect Tupac
LA is rough
Nothing of what u Said should make u not like it lol.
Who cares If u ain't from LA or born after 2000 🤣🤣🤣
Bro, I wish you could have witnessed it. The 90s was the peak of American civilization, especially with regard to music and film. 2Pac was the rose. He rose from the dead like Christ and truly is the messiah. His resurrection is the resurrection and not only did he write gospel, his coming was scripted in the Bible and the abrahamic calendars.
LA beautiful the vibe like no other being there is a high of it's own💯
I wish I grew up in the 90’s for so many reasons
1. The music
2. The clothing
3. More kids actually do things outside
And more
VH1
Goddamn, man... summer of 96 Pac was spitting some seriously golden shit, this and the og version of Until The End Of Time are my all time favorite Pac songs, besides maybe Never Had A Friend Like Me or Krazy, or maybe Um Dumpin or Wordz 2 My First Born, or Better Dayz or Still I Rise... see? This cat was insane, he had all-time great songs just falling out of his pockets
R.i.p.legend tha 🐐
Legendary 2pac 🐐
He is alive if i press play
Nice
Same
Fvk dnt say that... 😔
Were always have him
Best comment ever.!
RIP 2PAC 🙏
I bought this cd the day it came out way back in the 90’s, damn. I’m old...
Ok was a child, at least you lived that moment and being an adult at that time. Better than todays music 😊
You from cali?
Joe Houston No, Arizona
My mom bought it for me bootleg I used to have it in my Walkman on just letting it play over and over
Thank god you making it.. god bless you
This song will never Eva get old.
You damn right
No doubt Royal Goddess
Never it such a great song
No doubt💯
NA
I'm not from L.A. I'm from Northern California but this in my top 3 favorite songs from 2pac. Probably my favorite to be honest. But we all know PAC represented Oakland. ♥️
Pac was out here in the Bay too!!! Got hella Folks with pictures with him before he Blew up.
Tupac was a Oakland artist before he moved to LA
Happy Birthday to greatest of all time. I'm proud to say I've been a fan since 92. You are the best rapper, poet and revolutionary of all times. I'm so glad God allowed us to know who you were.
Amen, Black Queen 👑
Happy 50th Tupac!
I’m not from L.A or live there but I still bump it
never ever been there
Then you've gotta watch the 80's bomb ass movie, 'To Live & Die in LA👀👀frfr
I almost don't want to ever visit LA because I don't want to ruin the fantasy I have built up in my head of what its like.
I miss real music like this it's hard to find these days
Dam what so crazy 2pac R.I.P wasn't from the Westside but he have the best 2 songs for Westcoast ahtems a legend hands down the Goat.. always will be miss..
"Cold part about it, Nigga got smoked by a fiend/ Tryna floss on em, Blind to a broken man's dream" 🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯
W MELVINA ST
The power behind Shakur's elocution was, and still is, unequaled. He was master at rhetoric. He's still my favorite emcee of all time.
Nas's pretty close though... And Mos Def could have been as good...
@@spaceboy2095 Nas beats trash
N 60th St
Damn i miss pac .... I'm getting old now 41 haven't heard this song since high-school 😕
"Sheding tears as we bury niggas close to heart once was a friend now a ghost in the dark, Cold part about it nigga got smoked by a fiend tryna floss on him blind to a broken man dreams."
That shiiii was deep
MASTERPIECE
Everyday i know is 2pac why the best.!!!
MY ANGELS SINGS TO LIVE AND DIE😁😁😁
This song makes me sooo happy!!❤❤ Long Live Pac!! LEGENDS NEVER DIE💯🫶
This is a beautiful album, in every sense. So, twll me why i cant listen to it without gettn emotiional. Ill tell you, it takes me back in time, to a sad place, that ironically, i miss and revere, god help me.
Cheers......
Bruh I met PAC maybe 4-6 months before he passed (I think it was 4 months) I seen ‘‘em on Crenshaw about to get on the 10 fwy and he turned around …. I hugged this man😭😭 but of course we had pagers not cell phones so I have no physical memory of it….. it was a one in a million type thing. Miss him fr.
I went on vacation 10 years ago to Los Angeles. This record always makes me miss that city. I rode the train all around the city, walked all the way from Venice Beach to Santa Monica and back and boy my legs were killing me the next day. Great song 👍👍
It wouldn't be L.A. without Mexicans, Black Love Brown Pride and the sets again!
🥰🥰
+ it's really Mexico!!!
Definitely need to bring brown pride and black love in the sets again
RIP good music 😭😭😭
Sickkked Ahh 🔥 Fire Classic Gangsta Song!!!...
The BEST LoVE LA DODGERS#1
R. I. P KOBE BRYANT HE LIVE AND DIE 8N IN L. A
When my best friend was killed in 1997 this song was on repeat...r.ip tony Hightower.
I started to listen to tupac when i was 14 and I'm still listening to him
same man🤙🏻🔥
2 PAC best rapper of life
Probably my favourite song of his 🙏
Please tell me you’re joking right
I put this song in my 2pac top ten list.
I think they don’t give a fuck about us is better than this song.
I mean it’s MY favourite doesn’t automatically mean it’s the best
STIX well said
Revolutionary Tupac Shakur 💪🏽
I love the vibe of this song. Made me go and listen to all of his music during this quarantine. He has so much music, gotta be the hardest working rapper of all time because he has so much music. And it’s all mostly 🔥🔥🔥👍🏽
Not Hov Tho ? 🤔
Mais de 700 músicas, e com uma curta vida. E pra pouco isso!
Work ethic is correct. But he also wanted to push out a bunch of projects asap so he could fulfill his Death Row contract and start his own label with Quincy Jones... but I've heard that a motivated Pac or Jay - Z, there is no touching em
And he died at a young 25.
He was in prison. He didn’t have much to do so he read books, sat around, and wrote a bunch of poetry that he turned around and released into music when he got out.
The best song of the greatest rapper ever...
I love Los Angeles it’s my home city I am California boy live and die in LA🇺🇸
Happy birthday Pac 2024🎉
Definitely one of my favs 💓
Yoooooooo i'm so glad i found this this morning💪💪💪💪💪👏👏👏👏👊👊😎😎😎😎❤️❤️❤️❤️✌️✌️✌️
"We might fight amongst each other but I promise you this get us pissed, We will burn this bitch down" "Wouldn't be LA without Mexicans, Black Love, Brown Pride" I grew up listening to his music and some of his lyrics makes me think about all the stuff that is going on today!
This song makes me cry as I think of all d things going on n this crazy world...real life...
Ooooooooowee You Pretty Baby.
Still bumping in2k20 and beyond. Plz keep safe and keep your heads up. God bless you and your families.
This man saw something in the industry and spoke out against it, and knew he'd pay the ultimate price for it.
Went record an album like this to be released posthumously if he didn't see it coming?
I love LA
Beautiful record man, shit makes you feel like you from LA for real
happy birthday pac🖤🙏🏾
Pac💓😭
I love Cali like I love women because every nigga in LA gotta a little bit of thug in him. My favorite line.
💜💜💜💜
2Pac legend 🙏🙏🙏
Getting high watching time fly.... How original is that..... 💯👌🙏
Better learn about the dress code. 2pac for life. Legends never die.
